Summary
Palestinian nurses face significant barriers to implementing evidence-based practice (EBP), including time constraints and lack of support. Research quality concerns and methodological issues also impede EBP adoption, affecting patient care delivery.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Healthcare Quality Improvement
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Nursing evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for global healthcare professionals aiming to deliver high-quality patient care.
- Implementing EBP is a key strategy for enhancing healthcare outcomes and patient safety.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the barriers encountered by nurses in implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) at the Palestinian Medical Complex (PMC).
- To identify specific challenges hindering the adoption of EBP among nursing staff.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the PMC over one month.
- Data were collected from 100 nurses using convenient sampling and the BARRIER Scale to measure EBP implementation barriers.
Main Results:
- Key barriers included inadequate time (62%), lack of assistance (30%), literature dispersion (45%), inadequate facilities (53%), and methodological issues (52%).
- Nurses also reported concerns about slow research publication (57%), unjustified conclusions (33%), and lack of replication (35%).
Conclusions:
- Head nurses and males perceived greater barriers to research quality; those with baccalaureate degrees reported fewer barriers.
- Age and work experience were associated with perceived barriers, with age positively predicting barriers related to research quality.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
