Comparing Evidence‐Based Practice Competencies, Adoption, Barriers, and Predictors Among Nurses and Other Healthcare Professionals Across the Eastern Mediterranean Region

Despite having a positive attitude and propensity towards EBP, nurses lack the necessary knowledge and support to adopt it, and they face more barriers than other healthcare professionals. Nurses require greater support from healthcare leaders to enhance their EBP competencies and address the reported barriers. Policymakers and organizations should prioritize tailored, role-specific training and supportive structures and environments to ensure equitable and effective EBP implementation for improving patient outcomes across the EMR.

Abstract

Despite having a positive attitude and propensity towards EBP, nurses lack the necessary knowledge and support to adopt it, and they face more barriers than other healthcare professionals. Nurses require greater support from healthcare leaders to enhance their EBP competencies and address the reported barriers. Policymakers and organizations should prioritize tailored, role-specific training and supportive structures and environments to ensure equitable and effective EBP implementation for improving patient outcomes across the EMR.
