Introduction

Evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing is a crucial approach that integrates the best available evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences to guide nursing practice and improve patient outcomes. This approach ensures that nursing interventions are based on solid scientific evidence, rather than tradition or personal beliefs. EBP has gained significant attention in recent years as healthcare providers strive to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care.

This thesis aims to explore the concept of EBP in nursing, its importance, challenges, and implications for nursing practice. The following chapters will provide a comprehensive overview of the topic, including a literature review, research methodology, discussion of findings, and conclusion.
