Abstract
This study explored the relationship between perceived barriers to research use and the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) among rural hospital nurses. The Institute of Medicine recommends that 90% of clinical decisions be evidence based by 2020. This descriptive, quality improvement study used a convenience sampling of registered nurses (RNs). Participants completed multiple questionnaires. Overall the attitude toward EBP was positive. Nurses recognize the importance to their practice but identified a lack of educational preparation regarding the process of research utilization. Providing education on research process and supportive monitoring during implementation may increase compliance with EBP initiatives.
