Instructing nursing students about EBP can require different teaching and evaluation strategies to practicing nurses (Streurer, 2010). The questions that arise from a practicing nurse may provide more information than a student of nursing. Therefore, Streuer urges organizations to adopt a model for evidence-based practice, such as the Stevens (2004) ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation.
However, nurses often refrain from involvement in quality improvement projects and processes, due to their lack of comfort and familiarity with their roles. According to Tschannen, Aebersold, Kocan, Lundy and Potempa (2015), nurses’ lack of involvement in quality improvement processes is often partially due to their lack of exposure and involvement throughout their education.

Organizational Culture and Readiness Having a positive attitude towards Evidence Based Practice (EBP) and valuing the importance of EBP practice for patients is the most important factor in the practice of EBP among nurses (Stokke, K., Olsen, N., Espehaug, B., & Nortvedt, M.
