Abstract

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is widely recognized as a key component in improving healthcare quality and patient outcomes. However, despite its benefits, EBP is often underutilized in clinical settings. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, frequency of implementation, and perceived barriers to EBP among nurses in a healthcare institution.
