Despite its benefits, EBP in nursing faces several challenges:
Time Constraints: Nurses often have limited time to search for and appraise evidence due to heavy workloads. Access to Resources: Limited access to research databases and journals can hinder the acquisition of current evidence. Lack of Training: Some nurses may lack the skills needed to critically appraise and apply evidence. Resistance to Change: There may be resistance from healthcare professionals who are accustomed to traditional practices.
