Nursing

What is EBN?

Evidence-Based Nursing (EBN) involves identifying the best research evidence and with clinical expertise and patient values, integrating them into nursing practice. This practice allows nurses to integrate their clinical training and experience with current research.

ANA has developed a "Research Toolkit" to support nurses in providing evidence-based care that promotes quality health outcomes for individuals, families, communities and health care systems. The toolkit offers an introduction to research and evidence-based practice. It provides access to numerous resources to translate evidence into practice and to support nurse researchers. Members only can log in and have access to a research repository with reviews of research articles. http://bit.ly/t6bAbT
