Background: Fostering a culture of clinical effectiveness among healthcare professionals (HCPs) is crucial to achieving optimal patient health outcomes. To our knowledge, there is a lack of robust evidence-based practice (EBP) tools to assess the competence of HCPs in EBP in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Aim: This study aims to comprehensively investigate the construct validity and internal reliability of the evidence-based practice questionnaire (EBPQ) among HCPs in the EMR. Methods: This multinational and multi-disciplinary cross-sectional study was conducted between 27 April and 11 May 2023. Convenience and snowball sampling methods were used to recruit a sample of HCPs (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, dentists, and pharmacists) using an electronic survey questionnaire for data capture. To assess the reliability of the instrument, Cronbach’s alpha, inter-item reliability, and split-half reliability analyses were conducted. Furthermore, the convergent and discriminant validity of the questionnaire was ensured by calculating the average variance extracted (AVE) and the correlation coefficient between the different constructs, respectively. Factor loadings and cross-loadings of different indicators within each construct were calculated by performing both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Results: A total of 1536 HCPs from 18 countries in the EMR (response rate = 96.786%) with a median age of 28 years participated; 47% were female, and 55% had Arabic as their first language. English was the most common language for a bachelor’s degree in science (54%). The construct validity of the EBPQ was investigated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), which yielded four loaded factors. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed the four loaded factors. The CFA model showed that the root mean square error of approximation = 0.066, comparative fit index = 0.95, Tucker–Lewis’s index = 0.94, standardized root mean square residual = 0.033, normal fit index = 0.94, goodness of fit = 0.91, and χ2 test statistic= 22,553, with p < 0.001. The AVE values of the four factors were close to 1 (knowledge = 0.6, practice = 0.6, attitude = 0.5, and sharing = 0.7), thus supporting the convergent validity of the EBPQ. The four domains had Cronbach’s alpha coefficients and Omega ≥ 0.7 (knowledge = 0.9, practice = 0.9, attitude = 0.7, and sharing = 0.8), suggesting that the items within each domain had good internal consistency. These results support the discriminant validity of the EBPQ. Conclusions: The EBPQ is a robust questionnaire that can be completed in less than 10 min by EMR HCPs and can be used as a gold-standard questionnaire to collect valid data on the attitudes, knowledge, and proficiency of HCPs in making clinical decisions based on evidence. Future studies are recommended to investigate the retest reliability.

“…Evidence-based practice is widely thought to be vital to safe and effective patient care. Evidence-based practice enables nurses and other clinicians to apply scientific evidence within unique patient situations using clinical expertise and critical thinking skills 5–7 . To achieve widespread use of EBP, healthcare scholars and leaders developed and disseminated numerous clinical guidelines in various forms, from scientific publications to Web sites to standardized care plans.…”

Penerapan evidence-based nursing (EBN) merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan kualitas asuhan keperawatan dengan menerapkan hasil penelitian terbaik dalam melaksanakan perawatan pada pasien namun pelaksanaannya masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi hambatan pelaksanaan EBN oleh perawat. Penelitian deskriptif dilakukan terhadap 49 orang perawat di ruang rawat inap surgikal pada satu rumah sakit pemerintah di Kota Pekanbaru. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner dengan skala likert. Data dianalisis secara univariat menggunakan distribusi frekuensi. Hasil penelitian menemukan hal utama yang menjadi penghambat penerapan EBN adalah banyaknya pasien yang harus dirawat (69,4%), kurang lancar berbahasa inggris (61,2%), kurangnya waktu untuk mempelajari penelitian (53,1%) dan kurangnya pengetahuan perawat tentang perawatan berbasis bukti ilmiah (51%). Beban kerja dan aspek personal menjadi penghambat dalam pelaksanaan EBN oleh perawat, mungkin perlu dilakukan perhitungan beban kerja kembali sehingga distribusi perawat menjadi lebih baik dan pertimbangan untuk melaksanakan pelatihan terkait EBN untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan praktik EBN oleh perawat.
