Evidence-Based Practice Self-efficacy Scale

Five-Year Program Evaluation of an Evidence-Based Practice Scholars Program

“…The measures below were used to assess the impact of the program: l EBP Self-Efficacy Scale. Scholar EBP Self-efficacy was measured using an adaption of the Tucker Evidence-Based Nursing Practice Self-Efficacy Scale (Tucker, Olson, & Frusti, 2009). Scholars rated their self-efficacy for 15 items on a scale of 0% to 100%, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy.…”

Psychometric Properties of Korean Version of Self-Efficacy of Evidence-Based Practice Scale

“…The change in Cronbach a if any item was deleted did not exceed the Cronbach a for the whole scale, indicating all items were pertinent and necessary. For the active EBP implication into clinical settings, current studies developed and validated various kinds of measurement of nurses' EBP competencies or self-efficacy beliefs [8e10, 13,23]. Tucker, Olson, and Frusti [23] developed the Evidence-Based Practice Self-Efficacy scale, which included research evidence and available resources for access, organizational context and culture, and facilitation skills required of unit champions or EBP leaders.…”

Validation of Scales Measuring Self‐Efficacy and Outcome Expectancy in Evidence‐Based Practice

“…However, most of these instruments refer to discipline‐specific EBP in medicine and physical therapy (Salbach et al 2007; Kok et al 2008) or measure broad beliefs in regard to EBP (Melnyk et al 2008). Only one tool (Tucker et al 2009) was found to have explored EBP self‐efficacy and nurses but this tool was published after the completion of the testing of our SE‐EBP. However, it may be of benefit in future testing and validation of the SE‐EBP scale.…”
