Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Evidence-Based Nursing (EBN) in primary care is a fundamental approach to improving service quality and clinical outcomes. It relies on the integration of the best available scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and patient needs, ensuring safe and effective interventions. In primary care, EBN plays a crucial role in early diagnosis, chronic disease management, and health promotion. By implementing evidence-based practices, nurses can enhance patient adherence to treatment protocols, reduce hospitalizations, and improve overall quality of life. With this, strengthening EBN in primary care leads to safer, more efficient, and patient-centered healthcare, ultimately delivering better outcomes for both patients and the healthcare system.
