As long as data quality in randomized multicenter trials is not validated, one could argue that the foundations of evidence-based medicine are somewhat uncertain.
How can we achieve evidence-based practice if we have a theory-practice gap in nursing today?
Factors which act as barriers to practice nurses using the evidence, or which facilitate evidence-based practice, were also explored.
The population health gains from evidence-based care were estimated to be substantially higher than those produced by current care across all four disorders.
Even in the world of evidence-based healthcare that relies so heavily on scienti c knowledge, the importance of tacit knowledge is recognized.
Further research is needed to evaluate the most effective way of delivering evidence-based interventions in general practice and incorporated into training programmes.
It is clear, however, that this study in itself cannot offer an authoritative evidence-based alternative to such assumptions.
These scholars draw on diverse theoretical approaches and often use both qualitative and quantitative methods to conduct evidence-based analyses (6;14;17).
