Nurses must be knowledgeable to the barriers to evidence-based implementation. Nurses need to be involved both in planning and in a multidisciplinary team responsible for research utilization, which is essential for increasing care quality. Aim: This review was aimed to explore the barriers to implementing nursing evidence based practice. Methods: A systematic review was performed using databases PubMed, Science Direct and EBSCO to access articles published between 2017 and 2022. According to the PRISMA guidelines, ten studies met the selection criteria and were included in the study. Results: Almost all of the studies revealed comparable results in terms of EBP barriers, with minor variances in the impact of the barriers' rank order. The findings of the ten studies revealed that the majority of nurses regarded insufficient time as one of the most significant barriers to EBP implementation in their clinical practice, followed by unsupportive organizations, a lack of EBP knowledge, and resistance to change on an individual level. This suggests that the issue is global issue. There is a significant gap between research and practice, regardless of the cause. Discussion: limited support and time, overwork, lack of resources, nursing shortage, and restricted nurses' autonomy are examples of organizational barriers. Individual barriers include a lack of EBP knowledge and skills, as well as a dislike of change. Implications: Administrators could support the development of EBP by allowing nurses time and resources to enhance their skills related to EBP.
