“…Similarly, in Poland, both Bachelor [10] and Master level [23] nursing students have been found to have insufficient RU knowledge. Other international studies [17,18] have also revealed low to moderate levels of RU knowledge. Although both groups exhibited poor knowledge, Finnish students clearly scored higher in all knowledge categories.…”

“…Students believe that research is important for nursing practice, for the quality of patient care [9] and for the development of the profession, and they agree that nurses should learn to read, evaluate and utilise research findings in practice [11]. Nursing students' RU knowledge and skills, however, have frequently been shown to vary from low to moderate, whether based on tests or self-assessment [12,17,18]. Evidence shows that nursing students have limited skills in formulating questions to search for research knowledge, in carrying out database searches, and in critically appraising and implementing research results [15,18].…”

Introduction. Evidence-based practice and research utilisation at its core are essential for high quality patient care. In this study, research utilization is defined as a process involving acquisition, critical reading (including evaluation) and application of research knowledge. The translation of research knowledge into clinical nursing practice, however, is often hampered, primarily due to nurses' lacking competence for research utilization. Objective. The aim of this study is to assess and compare graduating nursing students' attitudes, knowledge and skills related to research utilisation in two European countries. Materials and method. Data was collected in Poland (n=168) and Finland (n=260) using the Competence in Research Utilisation instrument, and analysed statistically. Results. Students in both countries had positive attitudes to research utilisation. Polish students' attitudes were more positive. A knowledge test revealed poor knowledge of research utilisation in both countries. Students assessed their research utilisation skills as above moderate, but Polish students rated their skills higher. Conclusions. Based on the results, students' skills cannot be regarded as moderate or good, since they lack a solid theoretical knowledge base. Further development of curriculum content and a search for effective pedagogical methods for classroom, clinical and digital settings are recommended to support the students´ learning of research utilization. In the future, multidimensional, international competence assessments are recommended.

“…Moreover, our study noted that those who received formal education about EBP in school expressed greater competence of EBP. From those findings, we can concluded that the integration of EBP‐related knowledge and skills into school curriculum plays an essential role in promoting the implementation of EBP (Al Qadire, ). Therefore, it is suggested that the related courses about evidence‐based nursing should be conducted among the undergraduates and the opportunities to further education for on‐the‐job nurse managers should be provided.…”

“…Generally, the undergraduate nursing education in most developing countries put more emphasis on professional knowledge and skill, less on the cultivation of students' scientific research ability. Moreover, teaching of EBP and its related skills are reserved for postgraduate studies (Al Qadire, ). Thus, nurse managers with postgraduate qualifications may have more enthusiasm about EBP and more preparation for EBP (Rose Bovino et al, ).…”

Aim To describe the value, knowledge and implementation of evidenced‐based practice (EBP) among Chinese nurse managers and explore its influencing factors. Background Although much of literature have reported the importance of nurse managers in pushing EBP progress and encouraged them to engage in EBP activities, the extent to which nurse managers engage in EBP is unclear. Methods A cross‐sectional web‐based survey was applied to 1,166 nurse managers recruited from 54 hospitals in Guangdong Province, China. Descriptive statistics, t‐tests or one‐way ANOVAs, Spearman's correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the data. Results The average scores of the Quick‐EBP‐VIK were with the mean of 2.62 (±0.56). Result showed that educational background, professional title, whether they have received EBP education or training, and EBP organisational culture and readiness are the factors influencing managers’ total Quick‐EBP‐VIK score, with 43.5% of the variance explained by these factors. Conclusions Nurse managers had positive attitudes towards EBP, but they lacked the EBP knowledge and rarely implemented EBP. Furthermore, supportive organisational environment, effective education and training can help to enhance EBP knowledge and skills of managers. Implications of nursing management The competence of nurse managers for EBP implementation should be taken seriously. Personal and organisational strategies which can strengthen managers’ EBP knowledge and skills need to be developed and conducted.

Aim This study aimed to develop a tool to measure paediatric specialist nurses' core competencies and examine the scale's validity and reliability. Design An exploratory quantitative study. Methods This study was performed in April 2022 with 302 paediatric specialist nurses in mainland China. Items were created through a literature review, a qualitative interview, and the Delphi method. The data were evaluated using descriptive statistics, independent sample t‐test, explanatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and split‐half reliability. Results The final scale consisted of five factors and 32 items. The factors were communication, coordination and judgement abilities; professional technology mastery ability; specialist knowledge mastery ability; medical‐related processes; and evidence‐based nursing competencies. The explained total variance of the five factors was 62.216%. The scale‐level and item‐level CVI of this scale was 1.00, and the mean CVR of the total scale was 0.788. The Pearson correlation coefficients of each dimension and the total dimension of the scale was 0.709–0.892, and within each dimension, it was 0.435–0.651. The Cronbach's α of this scale was 0.944, and its split‐half reliability was 0.883.
