Factors Associated with Evidence-Based Decision-Making Among Specialized Nurses Working in Selected Health Facilities in Nairobi, Kenya

Specialized nurses in Nairobi largely rely on tacit knowledge and intuition, with individual capacities playing a critical role in shaping EBDM. Strengthening research skills, integrating EBDM training early into nursing curricula, and creating institutional support systems are essential for enhancing evidence use in clinical practice. Strategies for capturing and translating tacit knowledge into actionable evidence should be prioritized to improve patient outcomes. Further large-scale, multidisciplinary studies are recommended to validate these findings.
