“…In this study, it was observed that nurses who attended scientific events had more positive attitudes towards evidence-based nursing than nurses who do not. Similar results were obtained in some studies (Ayhan et al 2015;Stavor et al, 2017;Pereira et al, 2018). This made us think that nurses who conduct scientific research learned the importance of evidence-based practices on their own while doing research, and that the learning about evidence-based practices from other colleagues in scientific events they attended may also be effective in their positive attitudes.…”

Objective: This study was carried out with the aim of determining the attitudes of nurses working in the pediatrics clinics towards evidence-based nursing and the barriers they encounter while trying to utilize research. Methods: This research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. Study was conducted in the pediatrics clinics of two big public hospitals located in a metropolitan city in the northern region of Turkey. The sample of the study consists of 244 nurses. A Personal Information Form, the Barriers to Research Utilization Scale (BRUS), and the Attitude Towards Evidence-Based Nursing Questionnaire (ATEBNQ) were used as data collection instruments. Results: It was determined that 67.6% of the nurses did not participate in any scientific event. It was found that the total average BRUS score of the nurses included in the study was 46.80±2.99 and the total average ATEBNQ score was 58.11±16.29. It was determined that the most important barrier in the use of research by nurses was "Not enough time to read scientific studies because of work" (46.3%). It was seen that there is a statistically significant difference between the total score averages of the research utilization scale and the working duration time and the workload they have (p <0.05). In addition, statistically significant differences were found between the level of participation in scientific activities and the type of these activities, and the total mean ATEBNQ scores (p <0.05). Conclusion and Suggestions:In this study, it was determined that nurses' attitudes towards evidence-based nursing and their perceived barriers against utilizing from their research were moderate; however, the majority of the nurses stated that they did not participate in scientific events, did not review the literature, did not try to bring an evidence-based approach to clinical practice, and that they did not consider themselves competent on this matter. It was determined that most of the barriers against the use of scientific studies in nursing practices stem from nurses and institutions.

“…[10] One study [39] found that 97% respondents agreed or strongly agreed on the promotive role of EBP in patient care, while only 5% by learning the skills of EBP and 2% by seeking and applying evidence-based summaries established evidence-based implementation. Pereira et al [45] discovered CNs got higher scores of believing in EBP will improve care (4.02), but the implementation of EBP sufficiently got relatively lower scores (2.71). Similar findings [35] of poor implementation were also reported in Canada, as 7% respondents formulated questions and performed knowledge search, 20% used database, and 22% used research in practice.…”

Background:This study is to summarize the status of knowledge, attitudes, implementation, facilitators, and barriers of evidence-based practice (EBP) in community nurses (CNs). EBP has been widely adopted but the knowledge, attitudes, and implementation of EBP among CNs, and the facilitators and barriers they perceived have not been clearly confirmed.Methods:A literature search was conducted using combined keywords in 3 English databases and 3 Chinese databases of peer-reviewed publications covering the dates of publication from 1996 to July, 2018. Twenty articles were included. The information of the knowledge, attitudes, implementation, and the perceived facilitators and barriers of EBP in CNs was extracted and summarized.Results:CNs had positive attitudes toward EBP, but insufficient knowledge and unprepared implementation. The most cited facilitators were academic training, management functions, and younger age. Inadequate time and resources were recognized as main barriers hindering the transforming from knowledge and attitudes to implementation. Developed interventions mainly focused on knowledge facilitation rather than the elimination of objective barriers.Conclusions:Findings demonstrate a compelling need for improvement in knowledge and implementation of EBP in CNs, compared with the better attitudes. Except education, knowledge translating into implementation needs more coordination with authorities to magnify the facilitators and overcome the barriers. Further studies need to concentrate on deficient knowledge and implementation of EBP among CNs. Policy makers can use the facilitators and barriers found by this review to modify nursing education, current scientific resources supplement, practice supports for care improving.
