Research Article Summary

A scalable collaborative project by Meijuan Cao, Shu Li, and Xuejiao Zhu focus on evidence-based practice in community nurses. This research article's main focus is on summarizing the status of attitudes, facilitator, knowledge, implementation and evidence-based practice barriers in community nurses (Shu Li, 2019). The article states that evidence-based practice has been adopted widely. Still, the attitude, knowledge and implementation of EBP between community nurses and the facilitators and barricade they regard have not been approved precisely. As stated in the article, the study aims to answer the questions concerning the status of attitude, knowledge and EBP implementation in community nurses globally. Another question is on what facilitators and barricades affect evidence-based practice implementation of community nurses. The evaluation conducted in the research proved to be quite bright and promising. This study is a descriptive research type since it focuses on answering the questions but not the why.

On the other hand, the preliminary results indicated that the community nurses had a positive attitude toward evidence-based practice, though insufficient knowledge and unprepared implementation (Hannah C, 2017). In conclusion, from the arguments above, it is evident that there is a need for improving knowledge and evidence-based practice should be implemented in community nurses compared with better attitudes. The research article also provides a systematic finding that shows a compelling need for improving knowledge and implementing evidence-based practice. Also, it shows except education, translating knowledge into execution requires more cooperation with authorities to enhance the facilitators and reduce barricades. According to the findings, the only way to deal with the issue is through numerous teaching approaches like small group exercise, literature search, article review, critique, scenario simulation training and case studies that are promising in improving EBP beliefs and knowledge.
