“…To test internal consistency of the items, most studies calculated and reported a Cronbach’s alpha ( n = 67), and two studies calculated and reported a person separation index. The quality of internal consistency calculations was rated as “very good” in 64 studies [ 36 – 39 , 41 – 45 , 47 – 63 , 66 , 67 , 69 , 71 – 81 , 83 , 84 , 86 , 88 – 92 , 94 , 95 , 97 , 99 – 102 , 104 – 106 , 108 , 110 ] and as “inadequate” in five studies [ 46 , 60 , 98 , 109 , 111 ]. Inadequate ratings were given when a Cronbach’s alpha was not reported for each unidimensional subscale in a multidimensional instrument [ 31 ].…”

Background Evidence-based practice (EBP) is well known to most healthcare professionals. Implementing EBP in clinical practice is a complex process that can be challenging and slow. Lack of EBP knowledge, skills, attitudes, self-efficacy, and behavior can be essential barriers that should be measured using valid and reliable instruments for the population in question. Results from previous systematic reviews show that information regarding high-quality instruments that measure EBP attitudes, behavior, and self-efficacy in various healthcare disciplines need to be improved. This systematic review aimed to summarize the measurement properties of existing instruments that measure healthcare professionals’ EBP attitudes, behaviors, and self-efficacy. Methods We included studies that reported measurement properties of instruments that measure healthcare professionals’ EBP attitudes, behaviors, and self-efficacy. Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, HaPI, AMED via Ovid, and Cinahl via Ebscohost were searched in October 2020. The search was updated in December 2022. The measurement properties extracted included data on the item development process, content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, reliability, and measurement error. The quality assessment, rating of measurement properties, synthesis, and modified grading of the evidence were conducted in accordance with the COSMIN methodology for systematic reviews. Results Thirty-four instruments that measure healthcare professionals’ EBP attitudes, behaviors or self-efficacy were identified. Seventeen of the 34 were validated in two or more healthcare disciplines. Nurses were most frequently represented (n = 53). Despite the varying quality of instrument development and content validity studies, most instruments received sufficient ( +) ratings on content validity, with the quality of evidence graded as “very low” in most cases. Structural validity and internal consistency were the measurement properties most often assessed, and reliability and measurement error were most rarely assessed. The quality assessment results and overall rating of these measurement properties varied, but the quality of evidence was generally graded higher for these properties than for content validity. Conclusions Based on the summarized results, the constructs, and the population of interest, several instruments can be recommended for use in various healthcare disciplines. However, future studies should strive to use qualitative methods to further develop existing EBP instruments and involve the target population.

Background The Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS) is a widely used measurement tool to assess mental health providers’ attitudes toward adopting research-based interventions. To date, this scale has yet to be used or validated among mental health professionals in Latin America. This study investigated the factor structure, psychometric properties, cross-cultural validity, and model fit of the EBPAS in an interdisciplinary sample of social workers, counselors, and psychologists. Methods The original 15-item EBPAS scale was administered to a sample (N = 237) of Puerto Rican mental health professionals (e.g., social workers, counselors, and psychologists) working in diverse settings, such as schools, clinics, and community settings, child protection and welfare services, etc. The EBPAS’s scores are derived from four distinct constructs involving willingness to adopt EBPs (i.e., requirements, openness to innovation, appeal, and divergence from research). A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the EBPAS scale. Several first and second-order factor models were specified. A global and approximate fit examination of the measurement model and composite reliability estimation for each subscale was conducted. RStudio version 4.3.1 software was used for the CFA. Results The CFA supported a first-order factor model. Most subscales were found to have strong reliability coefficients ranging between 0.83 and 0.91, except for the divergence subscale. After allowing for covariance between two items in the appeal dimension, the correlated factor model was found to adequately fit the data, although some misspecification was observed. Conclusions The EBPAS-15 has adequate psychometric properties in a Latinx sample of mental health professionals, suggesting that the factor structure and reliability may be useful in a Spanish-speaking and Caribbean sample of mental health professionals working in a variety of settings and contexts. Findings contribute to the scant literature on culturally validated measures examining attitudes toward EBPs in Latin America.
