dc.description.abstractBackground: This study was conducted to determine what nurses think about the use of evi dence-based practice in their clinical work.Methods: The study was carried out as qualitative research in March 2019 with nurses workingin the clinical departments of a state university hospital in Istanbul. Thirteen nurses met fordiscussions in two focus groups and provided the data in a semi-structured questionnaire.Content analysis was used in the data analysis. The results of the study revealed four mainthemes and fourteen subthemes. The main themes could be identified as the meaning of ev idence, the benefit of evidence-based practice, barriers standing in the way of adopting evi dence-based practice, and beliefs and expectations about evidence-based practice. Results: Nurses believe that evidence-based practice can not only empower them in theirprofessional development in the processes of problem-solving and decision-making but canalso contribute to achieving professionalism in their vocation. However, nurses state that theyare confronted by major barriers that stand in their way on a personal and organizational leveland also in terms of available training opportunities.Conclusion: Nurses say that evidence-based practice, which is not widely used in the clinicalsetting in Turkey, is important in order to raise the quality of patient care and to enable thestrengthening of the profession itself. They point out however that there are various individ ual, institutional and educational barriers that are obstacles to using scientific evidence intheir practice. It is in this context that our recommendation is that nursing undergraduate andgraduate curriculums should be adapted to clinical practice and strategies should be createdto increase cooperative efforts.en_US
