Evidence-based practice is a process through which scientific evidence is identified, evaluated and applied in healthcare interventions. This practice forces nursing experts to depend more often on logical research and confirmation than on experience or instinct. EBP is intended to guide patients' medicine in a regulated methodology. This model combines research, investigation and patient history to provide the most comprehensive consideration imaginable. EBP became mainstream in the late 1970s. In any case, the ideas behind this practice were presented much earlier than nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale. As stated by Carole Cooper, "Nightingale assessed nature's terrain, gathered information, distinguished intercessions, and observed patient outcomes." This methodology reflects current evidence-based practice. The use of EBP expanded during the 1970s and 1980s in light of demands for greater productivity in patient consideration. While restorative exploratory discoveries were accessible, specialists and workers were not equipped to obtain or execute the new data quickly enough. This new system combines components of useful information and experience with the findings and investigations of clinical tests. There are five phases included in EBP, and different sources will describe each phase in a slightly distinctive way. In any case, the general substance of the system is reliable despite small expressive differences. The first step in performing EBP in nursing is to recognize the clinical problem and structure an investigation. At this stage, nursing experts will review the medicinal problem and what mediations have been used to treat it.
