title: Sources and models for moving research evidence into clinical practice.
abstract: High quality research evidence for nursing practice is available from the Cochrane Library and in clinical practice guidelines produced by professional associations. The transfer of research evidence into practice is a complex process, and changing provider behavior is a challenge, even when the relative advantages are strong. An active approach with multifaceted interventions based on the assessment of barriers has been found most effective. An array of interventions for implementing research findings in practice is included, and promising organizational and theoretical perspectives on increasing the use of research evidence for nursing practice are described.
