dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The importance of evidence-based practice in nursing is a genuine consideration in the provision of quality nursing care. This research study was assess the level of knowledge, attitude toward, and practice of EBP among nurses and the challenges experienced in implementing this level of practice in selected hospitals in Nablus City, Palestine. Methods: A total of 275 nurses completed the structured interview with questionnaires designed to obtain demographic information, attitude toward EBP, knowledge level and barriers to research use in nursing practice. Results: The results showed that most of the participants (82.2%) possessed a level of knowledge on EBP which was rated as high with a median score of knowledge being 76.00. In spite of this encouraging level of knowledge, however, challenges in the effective use of EBP was noted where 41.1% of respondents indicated moderate challenges while 33.5% indicated high challenges. In statistical terms, positive EBP attitudes were significantly related to knowledge levels (r = .451, p < .001) while negative EBP attitudes correlates to research usage barriers (r = -.486, p < .001). Conclusion: The study presents knowledge as an essential facilitator for the promotion of EBP participation, emphasizing the need for appropriate educational measures to be put in place to overcome the challenges which have been identified already. In addition, the study shows that understanding the attitude of nurses towards scientific research helps to understand the problems they encounter. This is important for health care institutions that seek to improve the quality of patient care through the use of evidence-based practices. Nevertheless, in the subsequent studies, emphasis should be given to longitudinal studies which evaluate the effect of the implementation of educational programs on EBP and the results of patients over time.
