Introduction
A cross-sectional survey of 500 nurses was conducted to determine the level of understanding of EBP principles, frequency of application in clinical settings, and barriers to implementation. EBP knowledge among nurses is relatively moderate, but application is inconsistent and hindered by many barriers, including time constraints, inadequate training, and lack of access to research resources.
