Supporting factors in adopting EBP
Nurses were asked to indicate the importance of
different factors that were likely to help them in
adopting EBP, the most important of which was the
provision of adequate training in this area (mean
score53.90), closely followed by the availability of
protected time to learn and implement EBP (mean
score53.88). Another factor that they thought could
help in adoption was mentoring by nurses who had
adequate experience with implementing EBP (mean
score53.86). In addition, nurses also expected support
from their nursing management and access to a
system for comprehensive literature searching (mean
scores53.79) in implementing EBP.
