The rising global demand for district nursing care necessitates effective strategies to support evidence-based decision-making. Despite the extensive development of nursing guidelines, adherence by district nursing teams remains suboptimal, revealing a gap between guideline development and daily practice. The Learning And Reflection for Nurses (LEARN) programme aims to bridge this gap by enhancing guideline use and fostering a learning attitude among district nursing teams. This protocol outlines the programme’s development, components and evaluation approach.
