Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between evidence-\nbased practice (EBP) and job satisfaction among nurses working in long-term\ncare facilities. Methods: The study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. A total\nof 146 nurses working in 6 long-term care facilities in South Korea self-reported their\nperception of EBP implementation, barriers to research utilization, and job satisfaction.\nResults: The level of job satisfaction was higher in nurses who were single, older,\nmore experienced, and had a higher income. Lower perceived barriers to research\nutilization were associated with greater job satisfaction. However, there was no significant\nrelationship between a level of EBP implementation and job satisfaction.\nFactors influencing job satisfaction included lower barriers to the organization and\ncommunication domains of research utilization, being unmarried and older. Conclusion:\nDecreasing barriers to research utilization may improve the job satisfaction\nof nurses working in long-term care facilities.
