Purpose of the Study:
- To examine factors influencing the development of evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP) among registered nurses and nurse practitioners in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Main Methods:
- An adapted electronic questionnaire was distributed to 68 practicing registered nurses and nurse practitioners.
- Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data.
Main Results:
- A significant difference was found between nurses' clinical practice setting and their EBNP scale scores.
- Age and education level significantly impacted EBNP subscales.
- Novice nurses relied more on experience and intuition, while expert nurses with higher education excelled at synthesizing research.
- Expert nurses with higher education levels reported greater skill in applying research findings into practice.
Conclusions:
- Clinical practice setting, age, and education level are significant factors influencing EBNP.
- Nurses' experience and education level correlate with their ability to integrate research into practice.
