Abstract
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the level of knowledge of evidence-based practice (EBP) among registered nurses (RNs) who have joined the profession within the last 5 years. The Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services PARIHS framework provided the appropriate lens through which to discover the experiences of nurses and their use of EBP. Results based on interviews of 20 recent BSN graduates working in urban hospitals in a southern state revealed four major themes: (a) expectation of change, (b) providing the best care to the patient, (c) limited autonomy due to policy constraints, and (d) applying a foundation of knowledge and skill to implement EBP. The findings indicate a readiness for change in recent graduates. Motivation to implement EBP was to provide the best available care. Difficulty to implement EBP because of policy constraints was of concern. Knowledge and experience gained during education was reported to have positively influenced and contributed to the nurse's current perceived skill and comfort to implement EBP. Recommendations for practice based on these findings include linking curriculum with clinical experiences to better prepare future graduates to use EBP in practice. Each organization must find ways to allow recent nursing graduates a stronger voice and input in policy changes and organizational restructuring that will support sustained EBP implementation. Emphasis should be placed on the positive findings of this study that nurses are ready for change and willing and interested to implement EBP, as they strive to provide the best care possible for their patients.
