Abstract
Background: Health and midwifery education should focus on developing a solid basis of evidence-based methods, and optimal care practices adapted to the needs of different regions and cultures to improve the quality and scope of health care. Objectives: To illustrate success by establishing evidence-based practices (EBP). In the Eastern Mediterranean Region, despite the challenging conditions and limited resources. Methodology: Nursing experts from the American Nurses Association and the Midwifery Research Summit in Amman, Jordan, presented seven regional examples of how research has been translated into practice in the region. Results: These findings demonstrate the firm belief of nurses in the Eastern Mediterranean Region in the importance of fostering a robust culture of EBP and advancing the agenda through active health platforms, thereby bridging the gap between evidence and action. The success of the six countries highlights the importance of clinical nursing research in promoting EBP and quality patient care. The challenges highlighted in these stories underscore the necessity of creating national and institutional strategic plans, securing funding, and training for clinical nursing research. Conclusions: The nursing leaders in the eastern Mediterranean region are firmly convinced about the importance of fostering a dynamic culture and an active health platform to drive the agenda. The evidence-action nexus is clear. The success stories of six countries underscore the criticality of clinical nursing research for EBP and enhanced patient care. The challenges presented in these narratives underscore the need to formulate national and institutional strategic plans, allocate funds for earthquake nurses, and prepare for clinical nursing research.
