Abstract: This paper systematically analyzes the common problems in knowledge translation research in the field of nursing in China, focusing on three key research components: evidence summary, evidence-based nursing practice, and quality improvement, which share common issues including insufficient understanding of research nature, inappropriate application of methodology, and lack of scientific theoretical guidance. The paper proposes several strategies for improvement: clarifying the relationships and definitions among the three components, emphasizing collection and evaluation of diverse evidence types, enhancing scientific rigor in context-oriented intervention selection and evaluation, and incorporating adaptive designs. Future directions suggest transitioning toward an "Evidence-based Nursing+" model, advancing evidence-based nursing practice through conceptual updates, methodological innovations, and practical reforms.

Key words: knowledge translation; evidence-based practice; evidence summary; quality improvement
