Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Research
  • Psychometrics
  • Clinical Practice Improvement

Background:

  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial in healthcare for clinical problem-solving.
  • Barriers like time constraints, skill gaps, and negative attitudes hinder EBP adoption.
  • Quantifying these barriers is essential for improving EBP implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a self-report questionnaire.
  • To assess knowledge, practice, and attitudes towards EBP.
  • To provide a tool for measuring EBP implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized established psychometric methods for questionnaire development.
  • Employed principal component factor analysis to identify scale dimensions.

  • Assessed internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha and construct validity through convergent and discriminant methods.

    • Main Results:

    • The final questionnaire consists of three distinct scales: EBP, attitudes towards EBP, and knowledge of EBP.
    • The developed scales demonstrated robust validity.
    • The measure showed strong internal reliability.

    Conclusions:

    • The validated questionnaire serves as a reliable tool.
    • It can effectively measure the implementation of evidence-based practice.
    • This tool aids in understanding and addressing barriers to EBP.
