BACKGROUNDEvidence-based practice (EBP) is the foundation for providing quality care that leads to improved patient outcomes. However, inadequate knowledge and skills in EBP relative to insufficient educational preparation prevent nurses from providing evidence-based care (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015). According to Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (2015), students must be taught the basics of EBP (question formation, searching, critical appraisal, and synthesis) in order to develop adequate knowledge and skills. Nursing educators value strategies that actively engage students in the critical appraisal, synthesis, and translation of research to improve health care.
