Understanding evidence-based practice (EBP) requires examining personal ideology. Nurses should critically analyze their own ideology to select the most suitable EBP approach for effective implementation in practice.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Philosophy of Science

Background:

  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) has multiple, conflicting definitions.
  • These definitions stem from diverse epistemological viewpoints, complicating EBP selection for nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the underlying ideologies influencing the choice of EBP definitions by individual practitioners.
  • To provide a framework for nurses to select the most appropriate EBP formation based on personal ideology.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of competing EBP definitions and their epistemological underpinnings.
  • Identification and examination of the core ideologies (truth vs. individual emancipation) shaping EBP.

Main Results:

  • Two primary ideologies, truth and individual emancipation, inform various EBP formations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Nurses must critically analyze their personal ideology to choose the most fitting EBP formation.
    • Conscious ideological analysis is crucial for effective implementation of best evidence in practice.
    • Teaching EBP should involve facilitating students' self-analysis of their own ideology.
