Evidence-based Practice in Psychiatric Nursing

Abstract

Evidenced-based practice is a decision-making process to the clinical problems faced by the nurses during clinical practice. Mental health nursing is a specialty that focuses upon the individual’s not only physical but emotional and psychological needs. Unlike other nursing specialties, mental health nursing practice is an evidence-based practice with certain challenges and barriers. This article discusses the barriers and the possible solutions to overcome the problems that come across when implementing EBP in the clinical area by nurses and also suggests some resources for the EBP in mental health nursing practice.
