Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Evidence-based practice (EBP) has emerged as a cornerstone in the modern nursing. It is a systematic approach that integrates the best available evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to inform and guide nursing practice. This research paper provides a comprehensive review of evidence-based practice in nursing, including its concept, key principles, implementation strategies, and impact on patient outcomes. Furthermore, it explores the challenges and barriers to implementing EBP in nursing and offers recommendations for its successful integration into clinical settings.
