Several barriers can hinder the implementation of EBP in nursing, including: - Lack of Time: Nurses often have demanding schedules that leave little time for research and review of literature. - Limited Access to Resources: Some healthcare settings may lack access to databases, journals, or other resources necessary for conducting a thorough literature review. - Insufficient Training: Not all nurses are trained in EBP principles and techniques, which can make it challenging to apply research findings to practice. - Resistance to Change: Some nurses and healthcare organizations may resist changing established practices, even when new evidence suggests better approaches.
