“…Personal attitude towards EBP is affected by EBP Perceptions. These findings are confirmed by recent studies which documented a positive correlation between EBP attitude and EBP knowledge [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. In addition, EBP attitude had low correlation with workplace culture and information needs.…”

“…It is worth noting that the construct of the EBP-COQ_GR is different in comparison to other versions of the tool in other languages. More specifically, the factor loadings and the factors themselves are different, depending on the national culture of each study population [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…In Greece, there is a lack of research tools to investigate nursing students' EBP competence, and this is the main obstacle for research in Greek educational institutions [7]. The literature supports the view that the evidence-based practice competence questionnaire (EBP-COQ) [12] is a valid scale with adequate psychometric properties, and it has been used as research tool in different contexts in Spain [13], Latin America [14], India, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Oman [14,15], and has been translated and validated in many different languages, such as Turkish [16], Italian [17], Polish [18] and Chinese [19]. A recent scoping review concluded that the main barriers to the implementation of EBP by health professionals are workload, an unsupportive professional environment and culture, a lack of resources and a lack of authority to change established practices [20].…”

(1) Background: evidence-based nursing has been widely adopted by healthcare facilitators, and it is predicated on the connection between research evidence and clinical practice. The knowledge and implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) depend on a variety of long-established barriers and attitudes. The purpose of this study was to translate and validate the Greek version of the evidence-based practice competence questionnaire (EBP-COQ) and test it on a sample of Greek undergraduate nursing students. (2) Methods: a cross-sectional analysis was conducted on data obtained between November 2018 and January 2019. A convenience sample of 320 Greek undergraduate nursing students participated in a survey to examine the psychometric properties of the tool. The reliability and validity of the tool was examined. Cronbach’s coefficient alpha was used to determine the scale’s internal consistency reliability. (3) Results: the EBP-COQ was translated and validated. The estimated Cronbach’s alpha was higher than 0.70 for all scales. Of the participants, 22.5% were men and 77.5% were women, while 31% of them were in their final year of nursing education. A total of 61% of the students stated that they had not participated in an EBP seminar in the past. High Spearman’s correlation coefficients were found for “Knowledge in EBP” with “Personal attitude towards EBP” (rs = 0.329, p < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: the Greek version of the EBP-COQ is a valid instrument that can be used in the Greek population. It provides information about attitude, knowledge and skills in the EBP approach.

“…We used the Evidence-Based Practice Competence Questionnaire (EBP-COQ) created by Ruzafa-Martinez et al (2013) [16], in the form of the Polish adaptation constructed by Panczyk et al (2020) [17]. The questionnaire consists of 25 items arranged into three subscales: attitude toward EBP, skills in EBP, knowledge in EBP.…”

Decision-making using evidence-based practice (EBP) is generally universally accepted by nurses. Such acceptance may affect the personnel’s behaviour towards patients, which is also demonstrated by taking into consideration the patient’s preferences, including the patient’s spiritual needs, in the care plan. The provision of such care requires the development of an attitude of approval and an adequate level of communicative competence, which will enable the actual implementation of the EBP. The purpose of our study was to assess the perception of spirituality and the nurse’s role in providing spiritual care, as well as the perception of the significance of communication skills in the approval of EBP in professional practice. A multi-centre cross-section study was conducted on a population of 1176 participants (459 undergraduate (Bachelor programme, BP) and 717 postgraduate students (Master programme, MP)) from 10 medical universities in Poland. Three tools were used in the study to evaluate the participants’ approach: Evidence-Based Practice Competence Questionnaire (EBP-COQ), The Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS), and Communication Skills Attitude Scale (CSAS). Structural equation modelling was used for the analysis. An analysis of structural equations revealed the presence of positive relationships of the attitude to spiritual care and the role of communicative competences with the approach to EBP regardless of the cohort. A significant difference was found related to the influence of age on the attitude toward learning communicative competences. The approval in this respect was observed to decrease with age in the MP group. Increasing approval of EBP requires strengthening the approach to activity-centred spiritual care, with the simultaneous development of a positive attitude towards learning communicative competences. The model reveals the need to integrate a humanistic approach with EBP, which can be achieved by planning different interventions in different groups of recipients: nurses, academic teachers and students.
