Nurses Barriers to Evidence-Based Practice in Palliative Care: A Systematic Review
1Arbel Geriatric Center-Moria Group, Petah Tikva, Israel.
Background:
Research shows low evidence-based practice (EBP) uptake among palliative care nurses, a global concern because the demand for palliative care services is rising, raising the urgent need to improve healthcare quality. Promoting EBP uptake in palliative care can improve healthcare quality. This systematic review investigated nurses' barriers to EBP implementation in palliative care.
Methods:
PubMed, MEDLINE, CINHAL, and Google Scholar were used to identify seven articles. Articles were included for review if they were published within the past 10 years (English only) and investigated barriers to EBP implementation in palliative care.
Results:
Four barriers were identified: (a) time and resource constraints, (b) lack of readiness for organizational change, (c) negative attitudes toward palliative care, and (d) process-specific difficulties.
Conclusion:
This systematic review's findings can inform policy changes to improve the uptake of EBP in palliative care.
