Abstract

Being a relatively recent change to the existing nursing system, the adoption of evidence-based practice (EBP) as the key tool for nursing specialists in addressing the needs of their patients has triggered a range of issues, the necessity to reconsider the process of nurses’ training being the key concern. A European experience of adopting the EBP concept in the realm of nursing suggests that the specified approach works especially well when the necessity for the patient to receive the support of their family members rises. With the integration of EBP in oncology nursing, the opportunity for improving the well-being of the patients, especially children, by promoting communication between them and their parents, rises increasingly.
