A new Student version of the Evidence-based Practice Questionnaire (S-EBPQ) was developed and validated for nursing students. This tool reliably measures student nurses' EBP knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Psychometrics
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Assessing Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) learning in nursing students is crucial.
- Existing tools are not tailored for student nurses.
- The Evidence-based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ) was adapted to create a student version (S-EBPQ).
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a student version of the EBPQ (S-EBPQ).
- To evaluate the psychometric properties of the S-EBPQ in UK undergraduate nursing students.
Main Methods:
- Instrument development study involving 244 undergraduate nursing students.
- Data analyzed using Item Response Theory, Exploratory Factor Analysis, and Principal Component Analysis.
- Reliability and validity were assessed.
Main Results:
- Principal Component Analysis confirmed the S-EBPQ's construct validity.
- Convergent validity was supported by comparing scores between first and second-year students.
- The S-EBPQ demonstrated strong internal reliability, item facility, and discrimination.
Conclusions:
- The S-EBPQ is a psychometrically sound instrument for measuring EBP.
- It assesses EBP use, attitudes, and knowledge/skills in student nurses.
- The S-EBPQ can effectively evaluate EBP learning among undergraduates.
