Abstract
Delirium is crucial to address in critically ill patients, and nurses’ implementation of PADIS guidelines is vital for better outcomes. This review identified barriers and facilitators at individual, educational, and institutional levels. The review findings emphasize the need for routine and structured education for nurses on delirium risk factors, prevalence, outcomes, complications, management, and assessment to combat the educational deficits that inhibit guideline implementation. The review findings also highlight the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and education to effectively support nurses. Hospitals and other institutions can leverage these insights to develop strategic interdisciplinary education planning, including delirium-focused rounds and routine interdisciplinary discussions about incorporating delirium guidelines into the care of ICU patients.
