ResumoEnquadramento: A implementação da prática baseada na evidência (EBP) em contextos clínicos é recomendada pelo seu impacto positivo na saúde, contudo, permanece abaixo do desejável. A formação de estudantes de licenciatura em enfermagem em EBP é fundamental, pelo que é crucial haver medidas válidas e confiáveis desta aprendizagem. Objetivo: Traduzir e adaptar transculturalmente para português europeu as escalas EBP Beliefs Scale (EBPB), EBP Implementation Scale for Students (EBPI-S) e Organizational Culture & Readiness for School-wide Integration of Evidence-based Practice Survey for students (OCRSIEP-ES). Metodologia: Tradução e adaptação transcultural segundo recomendações internacionais. Validação preliminar em estudantes portugueses de licenciatura em enfermagem, provenientes de nove instituições. Resultados: Às versões prefinais dos instrumentos os participantes sugeriram incluir a possibilidade de resposta "não tenho conhecimento suficiente que me permita responder" e aumentar o período de recordação no instrumento EBPI--S. Na fase II participaram 167 estudantes. O α para o EBPB, EBPI-S e OCRSIEP-ES foi 0,854, 0,943 e 0,970, respetivamente. Conclusão: Os resultados preliminares revelaram uma forte consistência interna. É necessário realizar mais estudos de validação com amostras robustas para testar a confiabilidade e validade dos instrumentos.

The training of undergraduate nursing students in the use of EBP is crucial, and, for that, there must be valid and reliable measures of EBP learning. Objective: To translate and to cross-cultural adapt into European Portuguese of the EBP Beliefs Scale (EBPB), EBP Implementation Scale for Students (EBPI-S), and Organizational Culture & Readiness for School-wide Integration of Evidence-based Practice Survey for Students (OCRSIEP-ES). Methodology: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation according to international recommendations. Preliminary validation in Portuguese undergraduate nursing students from nine institutions. Results: In the pre-final versions of the instruments, the participants suggested including the optional answer "I do not have sufficient knowledge to be able to answer" and increasing the recall period in the EBPI-S instrument. Phase 2 included 167 participants. The α for EBPB, EBPI-S, and OCRSIEP-ES was 0.854, 0.943, and 0.970, respectively. Conclusion: Preliminary results showed good internal consistency. Further validation studies with robust samples are required to test the reliability and validity of the instruments.

Background: Research Initiation Rotations (RIRs) fall under the Development Strategic Axis for Researchers' Training of the Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing as part of the Young Researcher Window opportunities. Undergraduate nursing students volunteer to integrate research teams that develop activities linking teaching and research. Objective: To analyze the results of the five editions of the RIR Program involving undergraduate nursing students (2014/2015 to 2018/2019). Main topics under analysis: Thirty-two research projects involved 202 RIRs, 133 of which were successfully completed. In addition to the skills acquired as part of the research project teams, students attended nine training activities that were specifically designed for them. Conclusion: Successfully completed RIRs are included in the diploma supplement. Despite the limited time available due to curriculum demands, students have rated this experience as very positive. The integration of this program into the curriculum is a step to be taken in the future.
