“…The findings suggested that, while nurses held a positive attitude towards the EBP, they still lacked the necessary EBP competencies and confidence to incorporate research evidence into professional practice. This was similar to findings reported in recent studies involving nurses in Turkey and the USA [11,53]. These findings suggest that there is 'a long way to go' for domestic EBP educators and training mentors in tailoring efficient instructional modes for clinical nurses.…”

Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) education or training are considered fundamental to building and strengthening an EBP culture, as well as to encouraging evidence-based academic and clinical practice in the nursing community. However, few valid and reliable instruments are available for the assessment of EBP teaching and learning in clinical nurses in China. Translation, reliability, and validity testing of the English Evidence-Based Practice Profile Questionnaire (EBP 2 Q), which has strong psychometric properties, may encourage evaluation and promote the implementation of EBP in Mainland China. Methods: Based on established guidelines for the development of questionnaires, the English EBP 2 Q was translated and cross-culturally adapted. The Chinese version of the EBP 2 Q (EBP 2 Q-C) was validated using a sample of 543 nurses. Structural validity was evaluated through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, and the questionnaire was tested for convergent and criterion validity. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were also evaluated. Results: The content validity index demonstrated good content validity (≥0.98). An eight-factor structure was obtained in the exploratory factor analysis, and verified by a three-order factor model from the confirmatory factor analysis (χ 2 /df = 2.001; RMSEA = 0.065; SRMR = 0.077; and CFI = 0.884). The Spearman's rank correlation analysis of the EBP 2 Q-C with the Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire showed moderate correlations for Practice (0.58) and Confidence (0.68) and a low correlation for Sympathy (0.32). Criterion validity was demonstrated by significant differences in terms of nurses' highest education, present position, EBP training, involvement in research programs, and level of understanding of English. Both the overall Cronbach's α and the Cronbach's α for the domains exceeded 0.70. The intraclass correlation coefficients for the domains ranged between 0.75 and 0.96, indicating satisfactory repeatability. Conclusions: Except for the convergent validity of the Sympathy domain, the EBP 2 Q-C provided evidence of validity and reliability. Therefore, it can be applied in EBP education or training assessment in Mainland China.

“…Education and training in EBP are reported as basic and essential approaches to enhance EBP [9,11,12]. The international Sicily Statement had put forward an EBP curriculum framework to facilitate EBP education and training programs [13], and research training, EBP skills, and knowledge have been embedded in nursing education [12].…”

Objectives: One of the major duties of nurses is proper medication administration while maintaining patient safety, which requires sufficient knowledge and practice. Any gaps in knowledge used by nurses can lead to irreversible injury or death of the patient. This study is aimed to determine and compare the pharmacology knowledge and performance of nurses and nursing students in using the information resources in pediatrics wards. Method: This descriptive observational study was performed on 300 nurses and nursing students. Sources of knowledge and performance of nurses and nursing students were analyzed with researcher-made tools to determine their pharmaceutical knowledge, sources of knowledge, and attitudes by independent t-test, chi-square, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson, and Spearman tests. Result: Three hundred questionnaires were examined. The clinical experience of nurses and students was their most important source of information in drug challenges for 33.7% of the participants. About 24.6% of nurses obtained the required information from specialized books on pediatric medicine. About 17.1% of the participants attained their knowledge from multiple sources (e.g. various available sources such as the Internet, pharmacy books, software, and their experiences and colleagues), while electronic sources and the Internet were the sources of knowledge for 15.5% and 7.7% of the nurses, respectively. Concerning nursing students, 6.3% used books, 41.7% considered colleagues (clinical experiences), 20.8% employed electronic resources, 22.8% used the Internet, and 9.1% relied on multiple sources. There were significant differences in the knowledge and performance of the nurses based on their source of pharmacological knowledge (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Most of the resources used in the hospital are not up-to-date and evidence-base, and the majority of nurses tend to rely on their clinical experience or their collegues information for medication administration rather than reading books or searching for up-to-date approaches and information. Nursing students also trust nurses’ clinical experiences more than other sources provided for them including books and Internet. Some action should be taken by the managers for boosting the nurses’ tendency for using up-to-date information resources.

“…In the current study, the nurses achieved the highest score in the subdimension beliefs and expectations for EBN (Table 2), which reflects the beliefs and expectations of nurses about the benefits of EBN 24 . Kilicli et al, 39 carried out a study in Turkey with cardiovascular nurses to determine their attitudes toward EBN, their information sources, and examine the factors supporting EBN in Turkey. Similar to the current study, cardiovascular nurses had positive attitudes, feelings, beliefs, and actions toward EBN.…”

The study was carried out with nurses working in a psychiatric clinic to examine their attitudes toward evidence-based practices and levels of professional self-concept.Design and Methods: This study was carried out using a descriptive and correlational search design. We used a Personal Information Form developed by the authors and Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Scale (EBNAS) and Professional Self-Concept Scale for Clinical Nurses (PSCSCN) to obtain data. Percentages and averages, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was used for data analysis. Findings:The mean scores of the total and subdimensions of EBNAS and PSCSCN were high for the participating nurses. A positive relationship was found between EBNAS and PSCSCN.
