“…This finding is supported by previous study finding conducted in Finland [54] and Iran [41] in which a large number of nurse lack information retrieval Skills and awareness of searching and using literature as well. However, our result is not coincide with a recent comparative study conducted by (Upton, P., et al, 2015) on nursing professionals working in US and UK [38] in which both nurses working in an academic faculty and clinical faculty frequently use all source of EBP. This may be due to the level of nurse's awareness and available resource in USA, UK and China is not the same.…”

“…it helps nurses provide high-quality patient care based on research knowledge [37]. So, enhancing the knowledge and skill of EBP will help nurses to see the value of EBP [38]. Thus, the finding of these study has significant implications for staff nurse, leaders/ managers, and educators who are in a key positions to build a supportive culture for EBP and to provide the time, educational skills and resources which is necessary for all nurse to implement evidence-based care.…”

Abstract:Background: Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is one of the nursing professional roles that can lead them to provide the best and more effective quality patient care. However, little studies are available across china on registered nurses' attitude, skills and utilization of knowledge source for implementation of evidence based practice. Due to this the extent to which evidence based practice being utilized and implemented in nursing practice is still in its infancy across China. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the attitude, skills and source of knowledge on implementation of EBP among registered nurses working at selected teaching hospitals. Method: A descriptive institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess nurses' attitude, skills and utilization of knowledge source for implementation of EBP. A total of 366 RN were participated in filling self-administered questionnaire. The descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS version 20. The cut point for level of statistical significance was set at < 0.05 and all tests were 2-sided. Result: Overall, registered nurses who were participated in this study had a positive attitudes towards utilization of evidence based practice (M = 3.53, SD = 0.97). However, the level of skill in performing different EBP activities (M = 2.82 SD = 1.34) and the use of knowledge source to support daily care practice (M = 3.01, SD = 0.98) were found to be low. Similarly, participants indicated that they use more human and printed resources than electronic resources for supporting their practice (mean = 3.69, SD = 1.01; mean = 2.88, SD = 0.80; and mean = 2.57, SD = 1.05) respectively. Conclusion: It is recommended that organizational and nursing educational support were needed to improve this gap through providing training, creating awareness, and enhancing nurses' abilities for utilization and implementation of evidence based practice. Additionally, it is recommended that further research is needed to identify the influence of individual and organizational factors on implementation of evidence based nursing practice.

“…This might be because in China, nurse academics usually have higher levels of education than clinical nurses, and education levels influence health beliefs (Hacihasanoglu & Gozum, 2008); higher levels of education and the habit of reading professional nursing journals were positively related to research utilization (Milner et al, 2006). Participants in factor 1 insisted on the importance of evidence, not only because they came from high-level schools and hospitals, but also because nurse academics have more knowledge about and skills in evidence-based practice (Upton et al, 2015).…”

Q-methodology was used to investigate the health beliefs of Chinese clinical nurses and nurse academics. Twenty-eight participants from one hospital and nursing school in China were involved. The four stages of this study included: (i) concourse development from literature review, Internet searches, and key informant interviews; (ii) A pilot study to develop the Q-sample from the concourse; (iii) participants sorted the Q-sample statements along a continuum of preference (Q-sorting); and (iv) PQ data analysis using principal component analysis and varimax rotation. Five viewpoints were revealed: (i) factor 1--health management and the importance of evidence; (ii) factor 2--challenging local cultural belief, and Eastern and Western influences; (iii) factor 3--commonsense; (iv) factor 4--health and clinical practice; and (v) factor 5--health and nursing education. This study presents a need for nurses and nurse academics to think critically, examine their long-held health beliefs, and promote the use of evidence-based practice.

“…Imidlertid er andel deltagere med førstekompetanse representativ for utdanningsinstitusjonen. En studie blant laerere i USA og England vedrørende KBP rapporterte en tilsvarende lav svarprosent (27 %) (Upton et al 2015). Det er umulig å sammenligne resultater fra spørreskjema direkte med funn fra fokusgruppeintervju, men de ulike data utfyller hverandre og gir et fyldigere bilde på hvilke områder laerere både har og trenger mer kunnskap om når det gjelder KBP.…”
