      <dc:description>Background: The reform of the Spanish higher education to adapt to the European Higher&#xd;
Education Area involves, among other issues, the students’ participation in the curriculum assessment.&#xd;
The aim is to understand the insights of both nursing professionals and current undergraduate&#xd;
students of nursing on the connection between the knowledge acquired throughout the degree and the&#xd;
professional healthcare practice. Methods: An exploratory, descriptive qualitative study was carried&#xd;
out at a Spanish University. By convenience sampling, twelve nursing professionals and twelve&#xd;
4th-year students of the Degree in Nursing were included. In two phases, twelve semi-structured&#xd;
interviews and two focus groups were conducted in order to triangulate data. A thematic analysis of&#xd;
data was carried out, later to be coded by two researchers. Results: Two main themes were identified:&#xd;
Evidence-based nursing vs. experience-based nursing, and a theory-practice gap. The topics that&#xd;
were specifically highlighted were the coexistence between professionals who work according to&#xd;
evidence and those whose work is based on experience, and the lack of connection between the&#xd;
training received during the degree and actual healthcare practice. Conclusion: Nursing care work&#xd;
varies in terms of the implementation of evidence-based care. Nursing training is perceived as being&#xd;
affected by a theory-practice gap. To achieve the linking between nursing theory and practice, a great&#xd;
effort on stakeholders would be needed.</dc:description>
