Scientific Sessions

This session highlights the essential role of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) and clinical research in advancing high-quality, safe, and patient-centered nursing care. It explores how nurses can integrate the best available scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to guide decision-making and improve outcomes. Key topics include research methodology, critical appraisal of scientific literature, implementation science, quality improvement models, and strategies for translating research findings into real-world clinical practice. The session will also address barriers to EBP adoption, ethical considerations in research, and the growing importance of nursing-led studies in shaping healthcare innovation. Participants will gain practical tools for conducting research, evaluating evidence, and leading evidence-based initiatives within their organizations. Real-world examples will demonstrate how EBP strengthens clinical excellence, enhances patient safety, and drives continuous improvement across diverse care settings.
