BACKGROUND: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an approach gaining wide acceptance in Western health and social services systems (Proctor 2007) and holds promise as a potentially useful approach for refining Chinas public health system (Hang 2013) and informing the development of its long-term care (LTC) services and programs.EBP is an approach that uses relevant up-to-date research evidence to inform or guide practitioners in addressing client-and group-centered needs to provide optimal care in everyday practice.Recent debate over the transferability of evidence-based interventions to diverse cultural groups (Bernal 2006) has prompted growing interest in cultural adaptations to this approach (Chu, Huynh & Arean 2012).
