Despite its benefits, several barriers hinder the implementation of EBP in nursing:
Lack of Time: Nurses often have demanding schedules, leaving little time to review and appraise research. Limited Access to Research: Some nurses may not have access to comprehensive research databases or journals. Insufficient Training: Nurses may lack training in research methodologies and critical appraisal skills. Resistance to Change: There can be resistance from nursing staff who are accustomed to traditional practices.
