What you'll learn

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the principles and significance of evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing care.
  2. Apply the steps of the EBP process, including clinical question development, literature appraisal, and evidence integration.
  3. Construct clinical questions using the PICOT framework to guide the search for evidence.
  4. Analyze common barriers and facilitators to implementing EBP in nursing practice.

Course overview

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is an essential competency in modern nursing, driving improved patient outcomes, enhancing care quality, and ensuring cost-effective decision-making. In an increasingly complex healthcare environment, nurses must be equipped with the skills to critically appraise research, formulate clinically relevant questions, and apply evidence in conjunction with patient preferences and clinical expertise. This course provides foundational and advanced knowledge in EBP processes, from question development using the PICOT format to evaluating outcomes of implemented practices. Designed to meet current professional standards and address barriers to implementation, the curriculum empowers nurses to confidently engage in evidence-informed care across diverse settings.
