Tiivistelmä
The aim of the search was to study the experiences of nurses with EBN using existing literature. The purpose was to generate information that can be used to promote the use of EBNP among nurses.
The study was implemented as a literature review. The data were collected using two databases: CINAHL and PUBMED, resulting in the selection of sixteen articles that were analyzed using inductive content analysis. The following three main categories: the influence of nurses’ competence, organizational factors, and personal factors.
In conclusion, it was found from all the 16 articles reviewed in this study had important issues of interest among nurses using EBN. The nurses had some sort of knowledge about evidence-based nursing. However, one of the major concerns was time to put it into practice. Also, the results showed that participants were used to the old practices and proce- dures because it was easier for them. Lastly, workload was one of the major factors why nurses were not able implement EBN. Further studies are required to understand nurse managers' and administrator's readiness and willingness to train nurses about the importance of evidence-based nursing.
