Pages 230-244
Published online: 12 Nov 2013
 

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an approach that influences healthcare worldwide. Systematic research in the relevant biomedical literature was conducted using the Medline–Pubmed interface until August 2012. Six studies were included in the review. All of these studies had a cross-sectional study design, and 4 of them conducted a postal survey, using different questionnaires for data collection purposes. This review supports previous literature suggesting that community nurses have a positive attitude toward EBP. However, although EBP implementation is considered to be a professional imperative, the integration of recent evidence into clinical practice seems to be a cumbersome process.
