Abstract
This Doctor of Nursing Practice project was an evidence-based practice staff education initiative designed to improve staff knowledge of evidence-based strategies that support medication adherence among patients diagnosed with depression in an outpatient clinic. Medication nonadherence is associated with poor treatment outcomes, symptom relapse, and reduced quality of life, highlighting the need for staff education on adherence-promoting interventions. The practice-focused question examined whether a structured educational intervention would improve staff knowledge of evidence-based medication adherence strategies over an 8-week period.
