Teaching to help students understand evidence-based practice is a challenge for nursing education.
Methods:
Action research was used to generate knowledge of and practical solutions to problems in everyday locations.
Results:
Six models were developed: concept analysis, contributing to evidence-based nursing by means of quantitative research, contributing to evidence-based nursing by means of qualitative research, discourse analysis, analysis of narratives, and literature review.
Conclusions:
Action research was found to be a relevant procedure for changing ways of working with literature-based, bachelor degree essays. The models that were developed increased students' confidence in writing essays and preparedness for the nursing role.
