Abstract:
Introduction: Evidence based medicine and practice needs to have a robust and reliable curriculum. This curriculum has
been designed keeping in mind the latest technology and teaching strategies. There has been a major shift in context to
the patient physician relations, care and utilisation of best available evidence in making informed decisions about the
various treatment options and approaches to patient care. Nurses form an integral component of the healthcare delivery
system and of the health system itself. There has been substantial research in the nursing principles and indexed nursing
journals are publishing articles pertaining to the various disciplines and components of nurse practitioners and related
patient care services.
Methodology: It is a cross sectional study and total of 50 registered nurses were recruited from a public hospital to engage
in the evaluation for statistically meaningful and valid results or interpretations. A self-administered questionnaire was
distributed among 62 registered nurses; 12 registered nurses did not fill the questionnaire therefore 50 registered nurses
were recruited.
Result: Pie chart shows the major differences in frequency of all themes, the junior registered nurses have more knowledge
about EBM as compared to their seniors 70% and 10% respectively but when asked about doing post-graduation the seniors
showed more interest as compared to junior nurses 67% and 2% respectively. The junior nurses showed more counselling
ability and also practiced EBM. Overall there was significant decline in senior nurses’ performance when compared with
junior nurses p-value is 0.001
Conclusion: Evidence based medicine is based on three components; utilising prior knowledge based on clinical experience,
searching systematically evidence and acknowledging patient’s preferences. Junior registered nurses understand evidence
based medicine and are eager to apply EBM in their career whereas senior nurses where more interested in obtaining higher
degree and were less interested in patient care
