Factors associated with beliefs and implementation of evidence-based practice among nurses: a cross-sectional study

Despite good levels of EBP implementation, nearly half of the nurses exhibited poor beliefs about EBP. Professional experience was the strongest predictor of both EBP belief and implementation. These findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions, such as structured mentorship, continuing education, and hands-on training, to support less-experienced nurses in adopting EBP. Strengthening these competencies may enhance clinical decision-making and ultimately improve patient care.
