Sacketts, Straus, Richardson, Rosenberg, & Haynes (2000) stated that evidence-based practice is used as an integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values in clinical decision making. Evidence plays an important role in the delivery of modern healthcare, especially care involving clinical procedures, drug protocols, and even public and social messaging aimed at promoting population health. When persons are offered, or subjected to, healthcare interventions, the procedures and protocols need to be as safe as possible (Mitchell, 2013). Nonetheless, social science literature shows that rituals are also useful oftentimes. As stated by Schmahl (as cited in Philpin, 2002, p. 148), rituals also impart to the well-being of an individual. The purpose of rituals is the same as language, which plays an essential role in establishing a shared meaning regarding happenings in the society and becomes less elaborate (Douglas cited in Strange, 2001, p.181). Helman (cited in Strange, 2001, p. 181) also well thought out ritual as an important feature in which it serves as a way in knowing the importance of an event that it can pass by to the next generation.

The use of research findings in delivering care focused in improving the health care process and patient outcomes as said by Titler (2011). Furthermore, evidence is required for all nursing activities encompassed by the practice methodology of each nursing conceptual model, grand theory, and middle-range theory (Fawcett, 2005), including the content of practice tools used to assess health-related experiences of human beings, as well as the content of protocols used to guide implementation of nursing interventions. Moreover, there is a widespread belief that evidence actually exists to guide nursing practice that concerned on some clinical issues such as spread of infection, drug errors, effects of immobility and other more (Cody, 2006). Therefore, student nurses must engage with ideas that evidence is needed for decision-making about how to be, and how to do, as a nurse in practice (Mitchell, 2013). The author included that in order to be a competent professional nurse, a nurse must have knowledge regarding research evidence. Hence, nurses would be benefitted from a critical analysis of evidence-based issues associated by power, knowledge, and practice (Winch, Creedy and Chaboyer,
