Sumario:Nursing leaders must engage with evidence-based practice (EBP) to advance quality patient care. The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of an implementation science study on nurse manager competencies. Qualitative focus group interviews were conducted with leaders following an implementation science study. The AONL Nurse Manager Competency Framework was used as a guide. Leaders felt they were able to promote EBPs, influence others, and grow in their professional role after participating in the implementation science study. Involvement in nurse-led implementation science research can enhance frontline leaders' ability to engage with and promote EBP.
