A lack of computers and Internet access can create a barrier to implementation of EBP in community-based nursing agencies.If these are provided,nurses can quickly access current evidence-based findings and recommendations.Conducting market research will not change the work environment to make it more conductive to implementing EBP.Learning about nurses opinions about how it will affect workload would not impact the work environment and make it more conducive to implementing EBP.Rather the administrator would need to discuss the benefits of the use of EBP with the staff.Sending staff to a conference,although it may change staff attitudes,would not necessarily change the work environment.
