chronic illnesses

This group will assemble relevant research and related literature, critique and synthesize the research for use in practice and if there is sufficient research base, it will proceed

and make changes as deemed necessary as the research progresses. Once the research is completed, results are evaluated and decision is made to make the changes as approved

at the organizational level.

Barriers to this implementation can be the lack of research evidence available on the effectiveness of measures to address the particular trigger; the transfer of evidence-

based research to a particular trigger might not produce expected results based on other factors independent from studies that produced the evidence in use. For example, 

patients’ multiple chronic illnesses can affect their response to treatments, not all patients respond the same way to a particular treatment, regardless of the strength of the

evidence. Other barriers include the cost of implementation related to training staff. Effective EBP implementation at the practitioner and organizational levels within a health

care setting is essential to provide safe, effective and patient-centered care; nurses play a pivotal role to sustain the use of EBPs in clinical setting, and the contextual quality

of an organization that facilitate successful implementation should involve an organizational culture that is value-oriented and learning-oriented and receptive to change, and

a transformational leadership style determined by the leadership and practice of management (El-Mallakh at al., 2013, p. 42).
