Doctor of Philosophy<br>Similar to their colleagues throughout the world, nurses and midwives in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, welcome evidencebased practice (EBP) as a means to improve patient or client outcomes. This thesis explores the way nurses and midwives understand evidence for EBP and aims to determine whether members of these professions currently have the knowledge and skills necessary to implement evidence‐based care. Three separate studies were conducted to explore NSW nurses’ readiness for EBP. Attitudes, knowledge and skill were investigated using an EBP questionnaire return

Understanding the structure and the function of the skin complements evidence-based physical assessment of the integumentary system.

Abstract:

This study addresses the challenge of preparing undergraduate student nurses to be able to engage profitably in Evidence -based Practice. It focuses on the tension between learning about Evidence-based Practice within the Academy and the competencies and skills required to utilise it in clinical settings. Evidence-based Practice is a dynamic process which has core components and defined steps. Nurse education programmes are required by regulatory bodies to prepare nurses to utilise the best evidence to underpin their practice. However, they provide no specific guidance on how this should be or

Translating research to practice takes 10-20 years or more and evidence-based practice (EBP) integration remains at 10%-20%, despite recommendations requiring EBP-guided decisions. EBP integration has been associated with up to 30% decreases in healthcare system spending, improved quality outcomes, and increased staff satisfaction. Nurse leaders are accountable for EBP enculturation, yet rate quality and safety as the highest priority and EBP as the lowest. This knowledge gap perpetuates low EBP integration rates and hinders EBP enculturation. Asking whether EBP facilitative interventions for
