Integrative literature review develops a mentorship program framework to enhance EBP competency in nursing.
Objective: Develop an evidence-based practice (EBP) mentorship program framework. Background: Despite the widespread call for EBP adoption, EBP competency in healthcare remains low. Methods: An integrative literature review across 3 databases on EBP mentorship programs was conducted in August 2025. Results: A total of 21 English-language articles were included in the review. Five core pillars for successful EBP mentorship programs were identified: corporate considerations, mentor development, program design, education, and outcome measurement. Conclusion: Nursing administrators are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between academia and EBP implementation through mentorship programs that drive EBP competencies, develop champions, and build a sustained culture of inquiry.
