In this study the impact of evidence-based care on nursing students practice was investigated. Material and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, forty nursing students in urology ward were selected by purposive sampling and were assigned randomly to evidence based education (n=20) and traditional teaching (n=20) groups. Data was gathered by student's opinions and patient satisfaction questionnaires, and psychomotor checklists and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Optimum patient care in evidence -based and traditional groups were 35% and 29% respectively. 65% of students in evidence- based and 40% in traditional group believed that their decisions for care were according to patients' needs. 73% and 38% of them considered patient problems and reduced their anxiety by 64% and 45% (p=0.045) respectively. 52% and 40% patients in the two groups were highly satisfied. There was no significant differences (p=0.63) between the patients care knowledge in evidence- based and traditional groups initially.
