Purpose: This study was conducted to identify evidence-based nursing (EBN) with directors of nursing and nurses who took full charge of evidence-based practice (EBP) and nursing education at general hospitals in Korea. Methods: Using a questionnaire, the data were collected from 30 nursing directors and 27 nurses responsible for EBP at 30 general hospitals in Korea from August to September, 2013. and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Directors of nursing and those in charge of EBP and nursing education appeared to perceive the importance of EBP, though approximately 60% of general hospitals showed insufficient status for EBN. There were wide differences in EBP educational programs, and EBP training courses, and EBN project implementation in accordance with institutional support. Conclusion: The institutional support should take a leading role in providing nurses with more viable strategies to get EBN settled in clinical nursing settings.
