Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Healthcare Competency Assessment

Background:

  • Measuring competence in evidence-based practice (EBP) is challenging due to a lack of explicit criteria.
  • Uncertainty exists regarding specific EBP competencies for nurses and their measurement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a competency framework for measuring evidence-based knowledge and skills in nursing.
  • To gather health educators' and researchers' perspectives on the framework's elements.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive survey design utilizing a questionnaire.
  • Forty-two health academics, educators, clinicians, and researchers participated.
  • Participants rated the framework's structure and relevance and discussed measurement criteria.

Main Results:

  • Substantial agreement on the framework's structure and relevance (ICC: 0.80).
  • Qualitative analysis revealed themes of a useful EBP framework, varying competence expectations, and implementation challenges.

Conclusions:

  • The EBP competency framework holds credible value for nursing education and research.
  • Uncertainty and disagreement persist regarding required EBP competence levels for nurses.
  • Further stakeholder engagement is needed to establish a benchmark for nursing EBP competence.
