Introduction
Evidence-based practice in nursing is a prominent area of interest for researchers; thus, there exists a large body of information concerning the phenomenon. The interest reflects the critical role that evidence-based practice plays in the profession, especially in the face of a growing need to provide quality care and improve patients’ outcomes. One such study, the experience of implementing evidence-based practice change: A qualitative analysis, was conducted by Irwin, Bergman and Richards (2013). Conducted over a period of 12 months, the researchers concluded that nurses often ignore the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) as a result of constant challenges. In as much as the challenges may not be minimized, implementing evidence-based practice can be rewarding for nurses, especially those who prioritize collaboration. The following discussion will analyze the study, provide a critique of the findings, and illuminate the topic further.
