While the benefits of EBN are well-documented, several barriers can impede its implementation:
Lack of Time: Nurses often have demanding schedules that make it difficult to search and appraise evidence. Limited Access to Resources: Not all healthcare settings have access to comprehensive databases and journals. Knowledge and Skills: Some nurses may lack the necessary skills to interpret research findings effectively. Organizational Culture: Resistance to change within an organization can hinder the adoption of EBN practices.
