his research examined the of translation strat- use egies and nurses' attitudes increase the use of to evidence-based practice among neuroscience nurses in the acute care setting. Translation science, in the context of this study, is the scientific study of methods that affect adoption of evidence-based practice by healthcare providers(HCPs) on the individual and organization levels to improve patient outcomes and operational decision making(Titler, 2004). Use of evidence-based practice relies on the clinician's expertise, along with the best available extemal clinical evidence from research and or evidence-based theories, opinions from expert leuders, evidence from the patient's assessment, and data about patient preferences. The best evidence is clinically relevant research, often from the basic sciences of medicine but especially from patient-centered clinical research(Sackett, Rosenberg. Gray. Haynes& Rickudson. 1996) In addition, evidence-based practice is the deliberate use of the best available evidence for making decisions about the care of individual patients. Research utilization is the use of research in clinical practice and is only one of the many components underpinning evidence-based practice and translation science(Frasure, 2008).
