Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the level of EBP competence consisting of knowledge, attitude, and skills, and related factors with EBP competence for the faculty members working in community health nursing.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional was done with 42 faculty members using a self-administered questionnaire including demographic characteristics, EBP-related training/education, and the modified-Korean version of competence in EBP with 25 items from December 1, 2014 to March 2, 2015. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, Student`s t-test, and one-way ANOVA.
Results: The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and skills were 3.98, 4.14, and 4.01 on a five point scale, respectively. And, participants who have experienced in teaching EBP showed higher in knowledge in EBP than others (t=-2.38, p=.022).
Conclusion: This study indicates that Korean faculty members working in community health nursing have a positive attitude toward EBP but they do not rate their knowledge in EBP as positively. Only experience of teaching EBP is related with the knowledge in EBP. Therefore, an educational program needs to be developed, offering knowledge and developing necessary skills to promote EBP for faculty members. Further studies using larger sample size are required to increase the representativeness and generalizability of the study results.
