Purpose: This qualitative study was done to identify the current status for evidence-based nursing (EBN) and the roles of the Korean Society of EBN (KEBN) for facilitating EBN. Methods: The participants were 7 female nurses who have worked in the acute care hospitals. Data were collected through focused group interviews. Collected data were analyzed with content analysis method. Results: The findings can be categorized into five main themes. 1) Background for introducing of EBN. 2) Facilitators to spread EBN. 3) Barriers to spread EBN. 4) Changes after introducing EBN into clinical practice. 5) Roles of the KEBN. Conclusion: The current status of EBN is that awareness about the importance of EBN is high and knowledge with skills are improving gradually. However, it is necessary to acquire solid knowledge and skills to facilitate their own EBN within the institutions. Therefore, we expect the roles of the KEBN in sharing and standardizing information of EBN with other organizations. The KEBN specifically may consider to operate a EBN program for mentors and it is necessary to seek strategies to plan a platform that can build a standardized system through cooperation with department of nursing to share and spread EBN related research.
