<![CDATA[Evidence-based practice (EBP) is essential in nursing for providing high-quality care that improves patient outcomes and enhances nurses’ professionalism. Although nurses in Indonesia have learned about EBP during their academic education, many remain less eager to apply it in daily practice due to limited knowledge and competence. Bridging this gap between knowledge and practice is vital for advancing nursing standards. In addressing this issue, a community service program was conducted in September 2025 at one of the largest hospital foundations in Greater Jakarta. The program aimed to provide EBP training and workshops for nurses in the region, while also allowing participation from other areas through a hybrid format. The activity began with a preparatory session, followed by an implementation phase featuring four expert speakers who explained the step-by-step process of applying EBP in nursing. A total of 142 nurses participated, with 98 completing both pre- and post-tests and receiving national continuing education credits. The evaluation results showed significant improvement in knowledge (pre-test: 63 ± 10.02 vs. post-test: 82.24 ± 15.23; t = -5.64, p < 0.001). Participants also practiced searching and appraising research evidence in small groups. Overall, the program effectively enhanced nurses’ understanding and application of EBP.]]>
