  • Data were collected from 274 critical care nurses.
  • Surveys assessed research skills, barriers, and resource availability.

    • Main Results:

    • 42% of nurses felt inadequately prepared to evaluate research; less than a third felt skilled in conducting studies.
    • Higher academic qualifications correlated with greater confidence in research activities.
    • Significant lack of organizational support and management commitment for evidence-based nursing was identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhancing critical care nurses' research skills and confidence is essential.
    • Organizational support and management commitment are vital for successful evidence-based practice implementation.
    • Facilitating evidence-based practice through education, mentorship, and resource awareness can improve patient outcomes.
