Despite its benefits, EBP faces several challenges: 1. Lack of Time: Nurses often struggle to find time to review and implement new evidence due to heavy workloads. 2. Limited Access to Resources: Access to academic journals and databases may be restricted, particularly in resource-limited settings. 3. Knowledge Gaps: Some nurses may feel inadequately prepared to evaluate and apply research findings, highlighting the need for ongoing education. 4. Resistance to Change: Implementing new practices can be met with resistance from staff who are accustomed to traditional methods.
