Nursing Education and Research

Evidence-based practice in nursing education

Evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing education refers to the integration of the best available evidence from research, combined with clinical expertise and patient values, into the educational process. It involves teaching students how to critically appraise and apply research findings to inform their decision-making and improve patient care outcomes.

In nursing education, the goal of promoting evidence-based practice is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to effectively evaluate research literature and translate evidence into their clinical practice. It emphasizes the importance of basing nursing interventions and educational strategies on solid evidence rather than tradition or anecdotal experiences.
