Hence, the nurses' EBP appeared moderate. Diploma and bridging nurses expressed significant comparison which bridging nurses had 2.886 times the odds of application of implementation EBP and improved KAP rather than diploma nurses by p – value (0.002) and, Nurses with 6 – 10 years of experience are compliance with implementation of EBP according KAP with 1.6 times the odds higher than who have 1 – 5 years by p-value (.005).
