There are several strategies to minimize performance bias in nursing:
Blinding: Ensuring that both patients and nurses are unaware of the treatment allocations can help reduce bias. Standardization: Implementing standardized care protocols for all patients, regardless of their participation in a study, can help mitigate differences in care. Training: Providing training to nurses on the importance of unbiased care and the potential impacts of performance bias can raise awareness and reduce its occurrence. Monitoring: Regular audits and monitoring of care practices can help identify and address any deviations that might introduce bias.
