The role of nursing leadership in promoting evidence-based nursing practice

Randa Elsheikh et al. J Prof Nurs. 2023 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Although the undermining of the nursing profession, time constraints, and the lack of inclusive teaching of evidence-based nursing (EBN) in the nursing school's curriculum have long been identified as being some of the main barriers to the adoption of evidence-based practice (EBP) by nurses, the specific role of nurse leaders in directly influencing and supporting evidence-based nursing is not well demonstrated. This opinion piece discusses potential factors that influence the implementation of EBP into clinical routine practice, as well as how nursing leadership styles can contribute to its promotion in contemporary healthcare settings.

Keywords: Decision-making; Evidence-based nursing; Evidence-based practice; Leadership.
