Abstract: Objective To evaluate the teaching effects of evidence-based nursing approach by using the meta-analysis. Methods The databases of CBM, VIP and CNKI were searched. The controlled studies comparing evidence-based nursing approach and traditional methods were included. Data collection and literature evaluation were performed by two reviewers independently. RevMan V5.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results Ten literatures were included in meta-analysis. Meta-analysis showed statistical difference between evidence- based nursing approach and traditional methods in the objective knowledge of nursing students. Evidence-based nursing approach was superior to traditional methods in the training of practical operation ability, comprehensive nursing skills, paper writing ability and critical thinking. Conclusions Meta-analysis shows that evidence- based nursing approach is beneficial in teaching effects compared with traditional methods. However, most trials included in the review were of low quality, so large- scale randomized controlled trials of higher quality are needed to confirm this.
