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

Abstract

The Korean version of SE-EBP scale showed evidence of adequate construct validity and reliability. This study might have contributed to a wider application of the SE-EBP scale, but further studies are needed to provide more evidence on the structure of the scale.

Self-Efficacy and the Competency of Nursing Students Toward the Implementation of Evidence-Based Practice

“…The positive association between the previous experience of EBP education and the self-efficacy in implementing EBP (SE-EBP) indicated that the exposure to EBP may increase the confidence in EBP of the clinical nurses (Oh et al, 2016). Furthermore, adopting EBP empowers nurses to become confident professionals, enabling the nurses to take legal accountability for their practice (Oh et al, 2016), resulting in the increase of EBP competencies.…”

“…EBP implementation is essential for nurses in the clinical setting to effectively communicate with their patients and the healthcare team about the rationale for decision-making and care plans (Oh, Yang, Sung, Park, & Chang, 2016). EBP has an integral role in providing high-quality patient care by encouraging problem-solving to make better healthcare decisions in health care implementation, based on recent best available research within the clinical context (Elham Azmoude et al, 2017).…”

“…EBP has an integral role in providing high-quality patient care by encouraging problem-solving to make better healthcare decisions in health care implementation, based on recent best available research within the clinical context (Elham Azmoude et al, 2017). Unfortunately, many nurses cannot implement EBP in the clinical setting since they feel insecure about their competency in employing the EBP skills that are used in their decision-making process as a professional (Oh et al, 2016).…”

Evaluation of Studies on the Measurement Properties of Self-Reported Instruments

“…A measurement model may be modified to improve its model fit, such as by applying modified indexes [38]. A model modification allowing error covariance between two items was applied in seven studies [9,14,19,22,24,30,32]. Only one study [22] reported a substantial improvement in model fit using a significant difference in the c 2 values between the original model and its modified model.…”
