Abstract:
Background: Valid and reliable tools must be implemented to measure nursing students' evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge and skills that transfer to their practice. Purpose: To-translate and validate the English version of the Evidence Based Practice Competence Questionnaire (EBP-COQ-E). Methods: The EBP-COQ developed by Ruzafa-Martinez in Spain was administered to a sample of 279 undergraduate nursing students. Results: The content validity index was 96.16%, indicating that all items were correlated with the measurement of EBP competence. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.83, indicating good internal consistency. In confirmatory factor analysis, a three-factor solution was extracted with an eigenvalue greater than one, indicating a good measure of what it purports to be measuring. Conclusion: EBP-COQ-E can be recommended for standard implementation in English-speaking students taking EBP courses.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
