Abstrakt: Background: The Children's Oncology Group (COG) is the only National Cancer Institute-supported clinical trials organization focused exclusively on childhood and adolescent cancer research. The COG Nursing Discipline Committee has embedded the tenets of evidence-based practice (EBP) into clinical trials nursing in order to standardize the nursing care delivered to children enrolled on these trials. The COG nursing EBP initiative is aimed at developing evidence-based clinical resources and tools to provide guidance to clinicians regarding topics relevant to the provision of cancer treatment for patients enrolled on COG clinical trials from diagnosis through survivorship. A rigorous, evidence-based process designed to guide development of the evidence-based clinical tools and resources within the COG nursing discipline was developed and was implemented with the first nurse expert team beginning in 2012. Method: The standardized process included (a) selecting EBP projects and nursing expert teams (NETs), (b) providing leadership, mentoring, and championship for NETs; (c) approving clinical content developed through the NETs; and (d) providing guidance and oversight over planned dissemination of the COG EBP projects. Results: The COG Nursing EBP Subcommittee has developed 15 publications to date that include 90 authors. Eleven of these authors contributed to multiple publications. Discussion: On this 10th anniversary of the development of the EBP within the COG nursing discipline, we recognize its contributions to the professional growth of many of the discipline's members and to advances in nursing care for children enrolled in pediatric cancer clinical trials.
