چکیده
BACKGROUND Since the early 1990s, the National Health Service (NHS) has seen the encouragement and growth of research-based practice – described here on, as evidence-based practice (EBP). This policy has been promoted nationally by the UK Department of Health. As a consequence there has been a profusion of guidance, policy documents and service requirements disseminated to all levels of the NHS. The central message of EBP is that clinical professionals should integrate individual clinical expertise with the best available research (Sackett et al, 1997). All healthcare professionals are being urged to base their clinical decisions on the best available evidence (Geddes, 1997).
