Area of Science:

Nursing Research
Healthcare Quality Improvement
Evidence-Based Practice Implementation

Background:

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a key indicator of healthcare quality.
Previous research on nurses' EBP perceptions often used descriptive surveys.
Understanding the organizational context is crucial before implementing EBP.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate Registered Nurses' (RNs) perceptions, attitudes, and knowledge/skills regarding evidence-based practice.
To identify facilitators and barriers to EBP implementation among RNs.

Main Methods:

Descriptive, cross-sectional survey design utilizing a psychometrically validated measure.
Study conducted in 2006 with 1031 Registered Nurses at a large US medical center.
Achieved a 40.9% response rate (n=422).

Main Results:

RNs reported moderate scores for EBP practice and attitudes, with lower knowledge/skills scores.
Significant differences in attitudes were observed between nurses with higher education (baccalaureate+) and those with associate/diploma education.
The primary barriers to EBP implementation cited were lack of time and insufficient knowledge.

Conclusions:

A systematic assessment is valuable for developing strategies to foster an institutional culture of EBP.
Addressing barriers like time and knowledge is essential for successful EBP integration.
Educational preparation influences nurses' attitudes towards EBP.
