Sun, Y.C. Hung, Y.C. Chang, Y. and Kuo, S.C. (2009) ‘Effects of a Prenatal Yoga Programme on the Discomforts of Pregnancy and Maternal Childbirth Self-Efficacy in Taiwan’, Midwifery. [Online] DOI: 10.1016/j.midw.2009.01.005 (Assessed: 9 April 2010)
In this 21st century, people are more educated and are more aware on products they are using or services that are provided. When they purchase a product, they will demand for evidence which proves the effectiveness of the item.

As compared to many years before, nurses practice through experience, tradition, culture or patients’ need and yet they value the clinical experience, patient’s experience, local culture as evidence (Rycroft-Malone et.al., 2004). As today, we are being instilled on evidence-based practice. Even that, nurses must be clear of the basis of practice despite knowing that the practice is not evidence-based to provide a sensible care to the patients (Zeitz & McCutcheon, 2003)
In health care, many of our practices are evidence-based. The policies and procedures, medications and treatment, included nursing care are practiced base on the evidence shown. By practicing evidence-based practice, we need to search for the best evidence available from research done recently (Sackett et.al., 1996) and evidence-based practice should not be argue and should not be any disagreement as the practice is proved (Goding & Edwards, 2002). Once we practice with evidence, we can surely observe the outcomes from patients as in the piece of research. However, Scudder (2006) states that it is difficult to practice based on evidence as patients in this modern world would prefer to make their own treatment methods which might not have evidence to prove the effectiveness.
