Abstract

This article describes an institution's efforts to help nurses integrate evidence into practice through the development of a Web-based resource. After assessing nurses' attitudes and use of evidence resources, a Web site was created to provide a central location for accessing and using evidence. Nurses who utilized the Web site had more favorable attitudes toward evidence-based practice and were more likely to access evidence resources.
