Popis: Background Research on evidence-based practice (EBP) training demonstrates effectiveness in increasing the knowledge and attitudes of nurses toward EBP, but does not consistently result in willingness to implement EBP. Purpose The purpose of this quality improvement project was to examine how EBP training of nurse residents affects their EBP self-efficacy and outcome expectancy. Method A survey of EBP self-efficacy was obtained for a convenience sample of nurses at the beginning, middle and end of their residency program. Results Improved confidence in implementing EBP was demonstrated in posttest self-efficacy scores (M = 182.24; SD = 33.68; p Conclusion In 12-month nurse residency programs providing EBP training, increases in EBP self-efficacy and outcome expectancy were noted as measures positively associated with willingness to implement EBP.
