“…perceptions of EBP knowledge, as well as their attitudes and beliefs about EBP, which mirror the results of this study (Leach et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2012). Other studies have examined the benefits of incorporating research concepts into the entire nursing curriculum, rather than only in one course,…”

“…Thus, equipping nursing students to have greater confidence in clinical decision-making and improving their perceptions of the value of research in practice may increase their likelihood to utilize EBP in their future practice (Brown, Kim, Stichler, & Fields, 2010;Leach, Hofmeyer, & Bobridge, 2016;Pravikoff et al, 2005). Since these are important skills for nursing students to obtain, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the change in nursing students' 1) perceptions of and 2) confidence in research and EBP, as well as to assess 3) changes in nursing students' interest in research participation, after completing a required course in research and EBP.…”

“…Academic institutions should comply with the rules and clinical guidelines of patient safety. Notably, students may have more limited expertise in participating in patient safety initiatives than other healthcare professionals (Leach, Hofmeyer, & Bobridge, ). Therefore, the patient safety competencies of students should be strengthened in the undergraduate healthcare curricula to build a strong safety culture.…”

Aims and objectives To assess the perceived patient safety competence during clinical training of Saudi nursing students. Background Ensuring safety in healthcare settings requires improvements in the educational and clinical practice of professionals. Experts stressed that shared patient safety culture must be of primary importance; they also emphasised the resolute need for theoretically driven research approaches for patient safety competence in healthcare organisations and educational institutions. Design Descriptive, cross‐sectional design. Methods This study was conducted in six government universities in Saudi Arabia. A sample of 829 nursing students was surveyed using the health professional education in patient safety survey. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The study adhered to the STROBE guideline for cross‐sectional studies (See Supporting Information Appendix S1). Results The percentage of agreement on the items of the health professional education in patient safety survey ranged from 61.5%–76.5%. The dimension “understanding human and environmental factors” received the highest perceived competence, whereas the dimension “working in teams” received the lowest competence. Significant differences in students’ patient safety competence from different universities were reported. Male students perceived their competence in “working in teams” higher than the female students. Students in their internship year had significantly higher levels of competence in all the six dimensions of the health professional education in patient safety survey than students in the third‐ and fourth‐year levels. Conclusions Saudi nursing students have positive perceptions towards their patient safety competencies. Significant differences were found in the patient safety competence of nursing students between universities, gender and year of study. Relevance to clinical practice The results provide valuable insights and guidance for improving the patient safety competence of nursing students. The findings can be used to guide the creation of policies and interventions that may ensure the continuous development of patient safety competence of nursing students as they navigate the clinical area.

“…Such work is being conducted by one author on a sample of South Australian final-year nursing students, who will be tracked for 12 months after graduation. 23 EBASE results can be used formatively to tailor course curriculum and learning objectives to better meet learner needs. CAM professional associations may also consider surveying their members with an online version of the EBASE to assess the need for EBP continuing education courses.…”

Objective: Most health professions recognize the value of evidence-based practice (EBP), yet the uptake of EBP across most health disciplines has been suboptimal. To improve EBP uptake, it is important to first understand the many dimensions that affect EBP use. The Evidence-Based practice Attitude and utilization SurvEy (EBASE) was designed to measure the attitudes, skills, and use of EBP among practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM); however, the dimensionality of the instrument is not well understood. The aim of the current research was to examine the psychometric properties of the attitudes, skills, and use subscales of EBASE. Design: This was a secondary analysis of data obtained from the administration of EBASE. Data were examined using principal components analyses and confirmatory methods. Internal consistency reliabilities of resultant subscales were also computed. Participants: 1314 U.S. chiropractors and 554 Canadian chiropractors. Results: A unidimensional structure best fit the attitudes and use subscales. Skills subscale items were best represented by subscales with a multidimensional structure. Specifically, the skills construct was best modeled with three dimensions (identification of the research question, locating research, and application of EBP). All subscales had acceptable internal consistency reliability estimates. Conclusions: The findings support the modification of the scoring guidelines for the original EBASE. These changes are likely to result in a more accurate measure of EBP attitudes, skills, and use among chiropractors, and possibly CAM providers more generally.

The impact of research education on student nurse attitude, skill and uptake of evidence‐based practice: a descriptive longitudinal survey

Abstract: Undergraduate research education may play an important role in improving student nurse uptake of evidence-based practice; whether these changes can be sustained when transitioning from student nurse to registered nurse is a question for further research.
