Title: Evidence based practice within social work in Sweden: a systematic literature study Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the research concerning EBP in a Swedish context. Method: a systematic literature study, wherein 16 articles were used and assessed using thematic analysis. Results: the study further clarifies the vagueness concerning the term EBP and what it contains. The results point to several factors which facilitate as well as inhibit the implementation of EBP, and that organization and leadership pose a significant role in the development of social workers organizations. Further findings are the gap between theory and practice and the lack of research of EBP in a Swedish context.2019-06-04</p
