Abstract
-
Nursing practice based on evidence is linked to improved patient outcomes. Barriers to evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing have been identified at the individual nurse level, but recently increased attention has been paid to barriers at the organizational system and contextual level, and recommendations for organizational-level changes have been made and in some cases implemented. A gap in the EBP implementation literature is the qualitative study of the experiences of nurses who have engaged in EBP and is herein proposed as a prerequisite to the design of intervention studies. This paper presents a qualitative study using the phenomenological approach of M. Van Manen (1990) with the underlying philosophy developed by E. Husserl (1931). This study uncovered the lived experience of nurses' participation in an EBP project and drew from the experiences of nurses who had participated in an EBP project within an oncology academic hospital-based nursing setting that contains an organizational infrastructure of EBP. The Power as Knowing Participation in Change theory was found to be applicable to the findings.;Keywords: Implementation science, Evidence-Based Practice, Qualitative, Phenomenology, Barrett's theory of power.
