Abstract

Evidence-based practice (EBP) has been the gold standard for clinical practice. However, the use of EBP by healthcare providers, including nurses, has remained at suboptimal rates. Though researchers have examined various factors that influence nurses' use of EBP, studies of more complex organizational factors are limited. Nursing unit culture, which encompasses unique shared values, beliefs, and assumptions, may be one of the driving forces in determining nurses' behavior, leading to variation in the use of EBP. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between nursing unit culture and the use of EBP among nurses in hospitals under the overarching theoretical frameworks of the Competing Values Framework and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. A cross-sectional, correlation design was used.
