Abstract: For the purpose of guiding decisions regarding healthcare, evidence-based practice (EBP) brings together clinical competence, the most compelling scientific data, and the patient’s needs and values. Empirical data at the local level appears to be scarce. This quantitative research made use of the descriptive, correlational research design to assess the relationship between beliefs and culture and readiness with implementation of evidence-based practice among nurses in the five district hospitals in Province of Western Samar during the year 2024. Findings of the study revealed that respondents had a very positive belief on evidence-based practice. Nurses had a positive organizational culture and readiness on EBP and there was a very high implementation of evidence-based practice. Beliefs and implementation on EBP were significantly correlated while organizational culture and readiness and implementation on EBP were significantly correlated. In conclusion, implementation of evidence-based practice is influenced by beliefs and organizational culture and readiness. This means that as the belief in evidence-based practice and organizational culture and readiness becomes more positive, it also increases the implementation of evidence-based practice. To address the findings of the study, an evidence-based implementation sustenance plan was proposed.
