Studies analyzing evidence-based nursing practices and barriers are also integral to quality improvement to support evidence-based care. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the attitudes of nurses working in an intensive care unit towards evidence-based nursing and their perceived barriers. Method; This descriptive and relationship study sample consisted of 129 nurses working in intensive care units of a city hospital. The data were collected with the "Nurse Information Form," "Attitude Towards Evidence-Based Nursing Scale," and "Barriers Scale". Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 27.0 program. Data were evaluated at p <0.05 significance level. Results; The mean score of the nurses’ attitude scale towards evidence-based nursing was 61.93± 6.35. It was found that most of the nurses who participated in the study were aware of scientific activities and participated in research processes. It was found that the attitudes of nurses whose educational level was undergraduate and graduate, who wanted to participate in research processes, and who participated in scientific organisations with papers and as listeners were high. It was found that the nurses who participated in the study perceived a high level of barriers and there was a weak negative relationship between their attitudes towards evidence-based nursing and the barriers they perceived. Conclusion; Nurses working in intensive care units have high attitudes towards evidence-based nursing. There is a weak negative relationship between their attitudes towards evidence-based nursing and their perceived barriers.}, number={2}, publisher={Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversitesi}
