Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)

Evidence-Based Practice or EBP is integrating the best available evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences to inform decision-making in health care settings. 

It ensures the delivery of high-quality care, improves patient outcomes, and fosters critical thinking among nursing professionals. EBP fosters a culture of continuous learning, encouraging nursing students and practitioners to stay informed about the latest advancements in nursing research. 

It is a fundamental component of nursing education, equipping students with the skills to integrate research into practice, deliver patient-centered care, and contribute to the ongoing improvement of healthcare outcomes.
