It is aimed to examine the leadership status and work environments of nurses working in surgical units during the integration of evidence-based practices into the institution.

The study will be conducted with 248 nurses working in surgical units of three centers in Aydın, Isparta and Burdur provinces. Before the data collection begins, nurses will be informed about the study.

The purpose of the study will be explained to the nurses who will participate in the study and the nurses who volunteer to participate will be asked to fill out the form. The form will take approximately 15 minutes to fill out. The study will question the sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses, their leadership status in the process of integrating evidence-based practices into the clinic, and the work environment and influencing factors.
