Objective:
The aim of this study was to determine best practice for evidence-based practice (EBP) education that leads to implementation.
Background:
Current methods of teaching EBP do not reliably translate to implementation.
Methods:
Participants in an EBP immersion were compared with participants in EBP immersion plus a follow-up EBP course.
Results:
The EBP immersion group implemented 18% of their initiatives. The EBP immersion plus the follow-up EBP course implemented 35% of their initiatives, and an additional 22% were in the process of implementation.
Conclusion:
Evidence-based practice education may not be sufficient in promoting EBP implementation. Additional ongoing support may be needed to bring EBP initiatives through implementation.
