Abstract

A mixed methods study was conducted to investigate Bolivian nurses' readiness for engaging in EBP and the challenges they face for implementing EBP in acute and outpatient care settings in La Paz, one of the Bolivia's largest urban areas. A sequential explanatory mixed methods approach was used to first examine statistical trends on data gathered from nurse clinicians, educators, and leaders on their values and beliefs about EBP as well as barriers to its implementation.
