This paper is an academic critique of a nursing article written by Miia Janson, Tero Ala-Kokko, Pekka
Ylipalosaari, HannuSyrjala, and HelviKyngas (2013) titled: Critical care nurses’ knowledge of, adherence
to and barriers towards evidence-based guidelines for the prevention of ventilator-associated
pneumonia – A survey study. The authors undertook a survey study to explore critical care nurses’
knowledge of, adherence to and barriers to prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia.The
rationale and the purpose of the study were clearly stated. My examination of the study
focuses on specific aspects of the article including evidence-based research of preventing
ventilator-associated pneumonia. I have attempted to explain the evidence-based survey study

adherence within different groups and principles of inductive content analysis used to analyze
the barriers towards evidence-based guidelines for prevention of ventilator-associated
pneumonia.The study was conducted in a single academic centre in Finland in a 22-bed mixed
adult general ICU. Participants were selected for the survey using convenience (accidental)
sampling. The spot testing questionnaires were distributed among all nursing staff by the
nurses in charge and completed anonymously in a 30 minute allotted time acquiring the
average knowledge level. The results of the knowledge test showed a mean scoreof 59.9%.
