Evidence-Based Nursing Competence in Pediatrics: A Cross-Sectional Examination of Current Practices and Influencing
Background:
It is necessary to explore the current status and determinants of evidence-based nursing (EBN) competencies among pediatric nurses, thereby offering valuable insights for clinical practice and patient care.
Method:
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among pediatric nurses employed at a pediatric hospital in May 2024. Pearson correlation and multiple stepwise linear regression were used to ascertain the predictors of EBN competencies.
Results:
The survey included 422 pediatric nurses. The mean EBN competency score was 70.66 ± 15.04, indicating a moderate level of EBN proficiency. Correlational analysis revealed significant associations between EBN competencies and nurses' age (r = 0.465), educational level (r = 0.534), professional title (r = 0.507), and prior EBN training (r = 0.528) (all p < .05). Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that age, educational level, professional title, and prior EBN training are influencing factors (all p < .05).
Conclusion:
It is essential for nursing administrators to implement more rigorous and targeted EBN training programs to enhance the competencies of pediatric nurses. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2025;56(6):237-244.].
