Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines have been developed to guide the prevention and/or management of PONV/PDNV; however, degree of adoption and common factors impacting the adoption of these guidelines is not known. Characteristics influencing guideline adoption include Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations theoretical constructs of perceived guideline characteristics, individual, and organizational innovativeness.
