“…Study variables were measured with the following valid and reliable instruments. The Evidence-Based Practice Beliefs (EBPB) Scale Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2003a) measured clinicians' beliefs about EBP and their ability to implement it. The 16-item Likert scale has established face, content, and construct validity with internal consistency reliabilities greater than .85 across multiple studies (Melnyk et al, 2008).…”

“…The EBP Beliefs Scale and the EBP Implementation Scale have been used and tested for reliability and validity in several studies among nurses [5,35-44]. In addition, demographic data were collected related to: age, seniority, job position, percentage of full-time position, education, and participation in evidence-based workgroups.…”

Evidence based practice beliefs and implementation among nurses: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2014

BackgroundHaving a positive attitude towards evidence-based practice and being able to see the value of evidence-based practice for patients have been reported as important for the implementation of evidence-based practice among nurses.The aim of this study was to map self-reported beliefs towards EBP and EBP implementation among nurses, and to investigate whether there was a positive correlation between EBP beliefs and EBP implementation.MethodWe carried out a cross-sectional study among 356 nurses at a specialist hospital for the treatment of cancer in Norway. The Norwegian translations of the Evidence-based Practice Belief Scale and the Evidence-based Practice Implementation Scale were used.ResultsIn total, 185 nurses participated in the study (response rate 52%). The results showed that nurses were positive towards evidence-based practice, but only practised it to a small extent. There was a positive correlation (r) between beliefs towards evidence-based practice and implementation of evidence-based practice (r = 0.59, p = 0.001).There was a statistical significant positive, but moderate correlation between all the four subscales of the EBP Beliefs Scale (beliefs related to: 1) knowledge, 2) resources, 3) the value of EBP and 4) difficulty and time) and the EBP Implementation Scale, with the highest correlation observed for beliefs related to knowledge (r = 0.38, p < .0001). Participants who had learned about evidence-based practice had significantly higher scores on the Evidence-based Practice Belief Scale than participants who were unfamiliar with evidence-based practice. Those involved in evidence-based practice working groups also reported significantly higher scores on the Evidence-based Practice Belief Scale than participants not involved in these groups.ConclusionThis study shows that nurses have a positive attitude towards evidence-based practice, but practise it to a lesser extent. There was a positive correlation between beliefs about evidence-based practice and implementation of evidence-based practice. Beliefs related to knowledge appear to have the greatest effect on implementation of evidence-based practice. Having knowledge and taking part in evidence-based practice working groups seem important.

“…EBP beliefs were measured by the I-EBP Beliefs Scale. The I-EBP Beliefs Scale is a translation of Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt's EBP Beliefs Scale© (46), which captures nurses' beliefs about the value of EBP and their ability to implement it in practice. Participants indicate their agreement with 16 statements on a five-point Likert scale with responses ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).…”

Nurses' EBP activities must be facilitated and accelerated. The findings provide empirical support to the primacy of EBP beliefs in nurses' engagement in EBP and of the complexity of EBP. While the identified predictors of EBP activities and beliefs are susceptible to change, diverse strategies are needed to influence each one. Strategies should focus on influencing EBP beliefs, that is, by increasing skills in using EBDs, discussion about EBP in the clinical environment and familiarity with EBP.
