Welcome to the University Libraries Nursing research guide.  We hope it will bring you and nursing-related resources together, and help you to find and enjoy all that our library has to offer.  This guide is a work in progress, and we welcome suggestions for improvement.

The most common definition of EBM is taken from Dr. David Sackett's article. "Evidence-based Medicine: What it is and what it isn't" (BMJ 1996 Jan 13; vol. 312 (7023), pp.71-2). EBM is "the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of the individual patient. It means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research."

Evidence-based nursing practice is "the deliberate and critical use of theories about human beings’ health-related experiences to guide actions associated with each step of the nursing process".
