Background:

  • Integrating evidence-based practice (EBP) into acute care hospitals is crucial for quality patient outcomes.
  • Nursing leadership plays a vital role in fostering an EBP culture.
  • Barriers to EBP implementation include resource availability and nurse skill levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the skill level of nurses in obtaining evidence for practice.
  • To evaluate nurses' proficiency in using computers and databases for evidence retrieval.
  • To determine the perceived availability of resources supporting evidence access in acute care settings.

Main Methods:

  • A statewide study was conducted involving nurses in acute care hospitals.
  • Data collection focused on self-assessed skill levels in evidence acquisition.
  • Surveys assessed the perceived availability of resources for accessing research and evidence.

Main Results:

  • Findings indicated varying levels of nurse proficiency in evidence retrieval skills.
  • Perceived availability of resources to access evidence differed across participating hospitals.
  • The study identified key areas for targeted nursing leadership interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing leadership must assess and address skill gaps in evidence retrieval.
  • Improving resource availability is essential for successful EBP integration.
  • Strategic planning and intervention are necessary to embed EBP into hospital culture.
