clinical expertise and client’s preferences or values into the process of making clinical decisions. It has been widely
applied in various fields such as medicine, nursing, social welfare, counseling, and education. The purpose of this
paper is to improve the awareness and to recognize the possibility for clinical application of EBP in the

(defining a clinical question, searching for evidence to address the question, evaluating the available evidence,
relating the evidence to the client, and evaluating the outcomes of the EBP process), and the limitation and
activation plans for EBP. Conclusively, it requires ongoing education and discussion that can lead to the change in
