Main Results:

  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) is defined by underlying epistemologic assumptions, not merely research utilization.
  • Key components of EBP include evidence hierarchies and systematic reviews.
  • Discrepancies exist in how EBP is perceived in US-published nursing literature versus international nursing literature.

Conclusions:

  • Inconsistent interpretations of EBP principles hinder its advancement.
  • Nurses may not fully grasp the implications of the evidence-based movement.
  • A standardized framework is needed to enhance nursing's role in evidence-based practice.
