Correlation between evidence-based practice competence of undergraduate nursing interns and hospital evidence-based culture
Objective To investigate the correlation between the evidence-based practice competence of undergraduate nursing interns and hospital evidence-based culture,and to provide a reference for the design of evidence-based practice activities in the internship program for undergraduate nursing interns in the future.Methods From December 2021 to February 2022,the nursing interns in Hunan province of China were selected as subjects,and the evidence-based practice competence scale for nursing interns and the hospital evidence-based practice culture scale were used to investigate the evidence-based practice ability of nursing interns and hospital evidence-based practice culture.SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis and inference.Results The total score of evidence-based practice competence was 84.67±27.17 among the nursing interns,and the total score of hospital evidence-based practice culture was 79.65±15.92.Evidence-based practice competence was positively correlated with the total score of hospital evidence-based practice culture and the scores of each dimension(r=0.635-0.813,P<0.01).Conclusions The evidence-based practice competence of undergraduate nursing interns needs to be improved,which is positively correlated with hospital evidence-based practice culture.Schools should cooperate with teaching hospitals to create a good hospital evidence-based practice culture,systematically optimize the clinical practice arrangements of nursing interns,and promote the development of the evidence-based practice competence of nursing interns.
