Summary
Clinical nursing leaders face challenges as Evidence-based Practice (EBP) mentors but adapt over time. Providing targeted training and fostering an EBP culture are crucial for success.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Leadership
- Evidence-Based Practice Implementation
- Qualitative Research Methods
Background:
- The role of clinical nursing leaders as Evidence-based Practice (EBP) mentors is increasingly recognized.
- Limited existing literature explores the lived experiences of these EBP mentors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the lived experiences of clinical nursing leaders serving as EBP mentors.
- To understand the challenges and adaptations involved in EBP mentorship within nursing units.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study employing a phenomenological framework (Colaizzi).
- Data collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with seven EBP mentors (unit managers in Korea).
Main Results:
- Identified three key experience categories: role challenges, mentor-staff nurse relationship development, and facilitator independence.
- Mentors initially experienced role ambiguity, stress, and burden, but adapted to positive experiences.
Conclusions:
- Systematic educational programs for EBP mentors are recommended prior to initiative implementation.
- Developing an institutional culture supportive of EBP is essential for successful mentorship.
