AB Nurses are increasingly focused on a practice based on scientific knowledge. However, it isimportant to distinguish high-quality evidence that can be applied in practice from studies oflow or dubious scientific quality. Therefore, nurses must base their practice on structuralsupport that allows for the definition of personalized and context-specific interventions. Theobjectives of this study are to identify the main barriers and facilitators to the evidencebasednursing approach and to implement an Evidence-Based Practice model (EBP) in clinicalpractice settings. We seek to contribute to evidence-based nursing by promoting professionalskills in nurses, using "The Knowledge-to-Action Framework" (KTA). The researchfocuses on a participatory action research methodology based on the cyclical process of theKTA framework, contemplating the creation of knowledge and the implementation of existingsolutions or new solutions through an action cycle. The participants will be nurses andparents/caregivers) from a pediatric service in Northern Portugal. The study will be conductedin 3 phases: phase 1 will identify the priority issues by exploring the barriers and facilitatorsof EBP from the nurses’ perspective and assessing the parents’/caregivers’satisfaction with nursing care. Phase 2 will be divided into (a) the planning and (b) the implementationof the KTA model, where we aim to build and validate (a) a training plan and (b)the implementation of the KTA model. Phase 3 is for the evaluation of the model implementationand sustaining knowledge. It is recognized that there is a large gap between knowledgeproduction and the subsequent implementation of interventions based on the bestavailable evidence. However, this reality is complex and involves several levels of decisionand intervention that oscillate from the individual responsibility of each nurse to the organizationaldimension.
