Abstract

The purposes of this descriptive study were to evaluate pediatric professional staffs' perceptions of evidence-based practice (EBP), to identify individual and organizational barriers experienced when applying EBP into practice, and to determine differences in perceptions by those attending and not attending an EBP education series. A total of 486 pediatric health care professionals, 56 of whom attended all of the sessions, completed an anonymous online survey. Professional staff participated in and valued EBP activities but identified barriers to full implementation. Participants in the EBP series were significantly different in several positive ways. Implications for further education and research are delineated based on survey results.
