      the AGREE II Instrument.

AB  - BACKGROUND: An increasing number of nursing practice guidelines (NPGs) of varying 
      methodological and reporting quality have been issued and published in 
      international journals. Currently, the quality of NPGs in mainland China has not 
      been explored. OBJECTIVE: To assess the quality of NPGs in China mainland using 
      the AGREE II (Advancing Guideline Development, Reporting and Evaluation in Health 
      Care) instrument. METHODS: The authors searched the electronic databases of 
      Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, 
      The VIP Database, Wan Fang Database, Chinese Master's Theses Full-Text Database, 
      China Doctor Dissertation Full-Text Database, and China Proceedings of Conference 
      Full-Text Database and the web of China Guideline Clearinghouse for NPGs in China 
      published from the inception of databases to December, 2013. Four independent 
      assessors rated the quality of each guideline using AGREE II. The authors 
      classified NPGs into two types: evidence-based NPG (EB-NPG) and consensus-based 
      NPG (CB-NPG), and compared their quality. The authors also considered whether the 
      quality of NPGs changed over time. RESULTS: Forty-two NPGs were appraised. 
      Methodological rigor and reporting of NPGs were poor. Across all guidelines, the 
      appraisers assigned the highest scores to the domain "scope and purpose," and the 
      lowest scored to the domain of "editorial independence." EB-NPGs were 
      significantly superior to the CB-NPGs in the domains of "stakeholder 
      involvement," "rigor of development," and "editorial independence." There was no 
      improvement over time for all domains. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: This research 
      found an absence of a systematic guideline development methodology and a tendency 
      to rely on expert opinion in the process of developing NPGs. The readers should 
      consider these flaws and limitations when using recommendations in those NPGs.
