The positive expression towards the EBP were more than 64% (Majid et al., 2011). But the nurse’s workload in daily routine causes many issues which they cannot keep up to date with new evidence. The nurses felt that EBP training, time availability, and mentoring by nurses with EBP experience would encourage them to implement EBP.  There are many issues and barriers that might hold nursing practice from achieving this goal. The first issue is the overload of information, means there are thousands of articles are published monthly which cause confusion and attain wrong data. Another issue is lack of time to adopt the EBP, lack of resources, and the difficulty in understanding statistical analysis (Majid et al., 2011).  Although nurses showed a positive attitude toward EBP, certain barriers were a delay. It is important that hospital management develop a comprehensive strategy for building EBP competencies through proper training and education. With this EBP we will be able to provide safe quality care to the patient.  Reference:  Majid, S., Foo, S., Luyt, B., Zhang, X., Theng, Y. L., Chang, Y. K., & Mokhtar, I. A.
