Evidence-Based Nursing Practice

Evidence-Based Nursing Practice

Evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP) is an approach that integrates the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to inform and improve patient care. EBNP emphasizes the importance of using scientific research to guide decision-making in nursing, ensuring that interventions are effective and grounded in proven outcomes.

Nurses practicing EBNP critically appraise and apply relevant studies to their clinical practice, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. This approach not only enhances patient safety and quality of care but also empowers nurses to advocate for their patients based on solid evidence. By bridging the gap between research and practice, evidence-based nursing contributes to better health outcomes and supports the evolution of healthcare standards.
