Abstract
With changes in health care, it has become clear that nurses need data to establish evidence for their decisions and interventions. Evidence-based practice involves the use of the best evidence available for making clinical decisions about patient care. The identification of the knowledge base for nursing practice contributes to achieving patient outcomes and making nursing practice credible.
