The first to use the term evidence-based nursing was Canadian scholar Guyatt.

Evidence-based nursing refers to the process by which caregivers judiciously, explicitly, and judiciously combine scientific findings with clinical experience and patient wishes in the course of planning nursing activities to obtain evidence that can be used as the basis for clinical care decisions. It is also an essential part of evidence-based medicine and evidence-based health care.

The term "evidence-based medicine" was first used by Canadian scholar Guyatt in 1991, and the concept of evidence-based medicine was organized and refined by Canadian scholars such as Lsackett in 1992, and the Cochrane Collaboration was set up in the United Kingdom in 1993 to systematically evaluate the medical literature. In 1993, the Cochrane Collaboration was established in the United Kingdom to conduct systematic evaluation of medical literature, which has been developed in 13 countries, including China. The emergence of evidence-based medicine carries forward the Western tradition of experimentation and rationality in the natural sciences, and also reflects the importance of modern medicine to the patient's personal values and expectations, while evidence-based nursing is the concept of nursing influenced by evidence-based medicine.
