“…One reason for this may be that this study was not powered to detect additional contributing factors. Similar to other EBP nursing studies, 7,9,34 generally most nurses believed in EBP, but their perceived implementation of the EBP process was low. This may be related to the barriers of lack of time and ease in accessing best practice information.…”

“…Lack of technical skills in conducting online search, lack of problem-solving skills in making recommendations for practice changes, inability to adapt to changing environments were cited as a major barrier for nurse to integrate evidence into their daily practice [14]. Thus, most nurse do not use electronic resources such as online databases including CINALH, Pub Med and Cochrane library very often to keep their knowledge and skill and to adopt EBP [15].…”

Abstract:Background: Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is one of the nursing professional roles that can lead them to provide the best and more effective quality patient care. However, little studies are available across china on registered nurses' attitude, skills and utilization of knowledge source for implementation of evidence based practice. Due to this the extent to which evidence based practice being utilized and implemented in nursing practice is still in its infancy across China. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the attitude, skills and source of knowledge on implementation of EBP among registered nurses working at selected teaching hospitals. Method: A descriptive institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess nurses' attitude, skills and utilization of knowledge source for implementation of EBP. A total of 366 RN were participated in filling self-administered questionnaire. The descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS version 20. The cut point for level of statistical significance was set at < 0.05 and all tests were 2-sided. Result: Overall, registered nurses who were participated in this study had a positive attitudes towards utilization of evidence based practice (M = 3.53, SD = 0.97). However, the level of skill in performing different EBP activities (M = 2.82 SD = 1.34) and the use of knowledge source to support daily care practice (M = 3.01, SD = 0.98) were found to be low. Similarly, participants indicated that they use more human and printed resources than electronic resources for supporting their practice (mean = 3.69, SD = 1.01; mean = 2.88, SD = 0.80; and mean = 2.57, SD = 1.05) respectively. Conclusion: It is recommended that organizational and nursing educational support were needed to improve this gap through providing training, creating awareness, and enhancing nurses' abilities for utilization and implementation of evidence based practice. Additionally, it is recommended that further research is needed to identify the influence of individual and organizational factors on implementation of evidence based nursing practice.

“…Currently it seems obvious that nurses are aware of the importance of EBP and the use of research, [34,35] but our results show that their knowledge and skills in implementing evidence-based interventions can be improved. Several studies have found a connection between the use of EBP and nurses' knowledge and skills [34,36] and have shown that nurses' knowledge and skills improve after educational interventions.…”

“…It has long been a common understanding that nursing colleges and nursing administrators/leaders share responsibility in this matter. [35] Nursing colleges are expected to educate both undergraduate and post graduate nurses about EBP and to collaborate with clinical practice in supporting nursing students and professionals in using EBP. [41,42] Administrators and nursing leaders in different health care organisations have great responsibility for providing ongoing education, in-service training, and lifelong learning to nurses.…”

Introduction: This study is a part of a project aimed at implementing and evaluating the Collaborative Model of Best Practice, (CMBP) to promoting evidence-based practice (EBP) in health care contexts. The aim of the study was to assess nurses' interest, attitudes, utilization, and views on promotors of and resources related to EBP before and after taking part in the CMBP project, and to investigate their views on the CMBP in relation to collaboration between the academy and clinical practice, the learning environment, job satisfaction, and nursing quality. Methods: A descriptive, comparative design was used with pre-and post-test measurements. The Research Utilization Questionnaire (RUQ) and study-specific questions were distributed to ward nurses (n = 67) in a rural Indian hospital. Results: Most of the nurses thought that the CMBP had a positive impact on quality of care, on their attitudes to, interest in, and knowledge EBP, and on their job satisfaction. They also considered that the collaboration between the nursing college and clinical practice had a positive impact on the learning environment and that more resources were available at the end of the project. Conclusions: The CMBP project was an attempt to improve the quality of care for patients and the learning environment for nursing students and nurses on the project wards. The results indicated fulfilment of these goals, which strengthens the usability of the model. Implementation of EBP is challenging and requires long-lasting activities and comprehensive support from leaders and facilitators. More studies are needed in which EBP is systematically implemented, accomplished, evaluated, and reported.
