Summary: This study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of academic and clinical nurses on academic-practice partnership in evidence-based practice. The results showed that academic-practice partnership is a necessary strategy to promote evidence-based practice, and different modes of partnership provide more opportunities for both academic and clinical nurses. However, there are also challenges in building effective partnerships. A good academic-practice partnership can create a win-win situation for nursing academia and clinical practice.

Certified nursing assistants play a crucial role in providing daily care, but their training may not equip them to meet the increasing complexity of residents' needs. Coaching by bachelor-educated registered nurses can be valuable, but there is a lack of knowledge about how they can effectively provide coaching.
