Abstract

This research investigates the barriers and facilitators influencing the adoption of evidence-based practice (EBP) among healthcare practitioners. A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted to identify key factors impacting the integration of EBP into clinical practice. Barriers such as time constraints, lack of resources, and resistance to change were identified, alongside facilitators including organizational support, education, and access to evidence-based resources. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing strategies to promote the widespread adoption of EBP in healthcare settings, ultimately enhancing the quality and effectiveness of patient care.
