A study on the current situation and influencing factors of evidence-based nursing practice knowledge-attitude-practice among nurses in third Class A hospitals
Objective A study was conducted to investigate the current status of capacity levels and factors influencing the knowledge-attitude-practice of evidence-based nursing in Grade 3A general hospital.Methods In March 2023,a convenience sampling method was employed to select 251 clinical nurses as research subjects from three Grade 3A general hospitals in Bengbu City.Questionnaire surveys were conducted using the general information questionnaire and the evi-dence-based practice questionnaire to analyze the current situation and explore the relevant influencing factors.Results The total scores of evidence-based nursing practice knowledge-attitude-practice among 251 clinical nurses in Grade 3A general hospitals were(105.24±20.98)points.The entry mean score was(4.38±0.87)points.The scores for each di-mension were as follows:knowledge skills had a total score(55.61±11.22)points and a mean score of(4.27±0.86)points,attitude towards practice behavior had a total score(22.80±5.15)points and a mean score of(4.56±1.03)points,and practice behavior had a total score of(26.82±7.05)points and a mean score of(4.47±1.17)points.Among these dimensions,practical attitude had the highest mean scores,while knowledge skills had the lowest mean scores.One-way analysis showed significant differences among the 251 clinical nurses in terms of age,title,years of ex-perience,computer skills,specialized technical skills,professional attitudes,knowledge of evidence-based nursing,ex-perience of training in evidence-based nursing,experience of evidence-based practice,ability to implement personalized nursing care,and the practicality of evidence-based nursing practice(P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis indi-cated that computer skills,professional attitude,knowledge of evidence-based nursing,experience of evidence-based practice,and ability to implement personalized care were the factors influencing the level of knowledge,belief,and prac-tice of evidence-based nursing practice among clinical nurses in Grade 3A general hospitals in Bengbu City(P<0.05).Conclusion Evidence-based practice competencies of clinical nurses in Grade 3A general hospital need to be further im-proved.Management leadership should develop and implement targeted training programs that take into account all rele-vant factors in order to enhance the level of medical care services.
