title: A mentoring model for evidence-based practice in a community hospital.
abstract: Significant emphasis has been placed on reducing barriers to implementing evidence-based practice and improving patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a mentor-led evidence-based practice quality improvement project would reduce professional nurses' perceptions of barriers to using best practice research findings in their practice to influence patient outcomes related to pressure ulcer prevalence.
