Sumario:Evidence demonstrates improved outcomes of evidence-based practice (EBP); yet routine implementation remains challenging. Implementation science provides a science-based approach to implementation, but application among nurse-led teams is sparse. This study identified difficulty/success of nursing teams implementing EBPs, and common implementation strategies. Nurses (n = 84) reported difficulty with implementation. Common strategies included engaging leadership, collaborators, highlighting advantages, diverse teams, and staff meetings. Highly successful nurse-led teams reported use of timelines, checklists, auditing/feedback, and hardwiring as effective implementation strategies. Implementation remains the most challenging component of EBP. Nurse-led teams should incorporate implementation science strategies to facilitate successful uptake of EBP in clinical settings.
