What are the Challenges in Implementing Evidence-Based Practices?
Despite the clear advantages, implementing evidence-based practices in nursing can be challenging due to:
Resistance to Change: Some healthcare professionals may resist changing established practices. Resource Limitations: Limited access to current research and insufficient time to review and implement new practices. Skill Gaps: A lack of training in research methods and critical appraisal skills among nurses. Organizational Barriers: Institutional policies and culture that do not support evidence-based practice.
