Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the attitudes of nurses working in private hospitals about evidence-based practice and the affecting factors. Materials and Methods: The universe of the study consisted of nurses working in 10 private hospitals in the city center of Manisa, Türkiye (n=460). The data were collected from 214 nurses by visiting hospitals between 20 October 2022 and 20 December 2022 through face-to-face interviews. The nurses' introductory characteristics questionnaire and the Attitude towards Evidence Based Nursing Questionnaire were used in this study. The attitude towards Evidence-Based Nursing Questionnaire consists of 15 items and three sub-dimensions as follows: beliefs and expectations towards evidence-based nursing, the intention of conduct towards evidence-based nursing, and feelings towards evidence-based nursing. Results: It was stated that 73.8% of the nurses knew the concept of evidence-based nursing and 68.2% applied evidence-based practices in their clinic. The mean score of the Attitudes towards Evidence-Based Nursing Questionnaire was found to be 61.5±8.8 (min=30 max=75). The total mean score of the Attitudes towards Evidence-Based Nursing Questionnaire was found to be statistically significantly higher in nurses working in service, who followed the current nursing literature, who knew the concept of evidence-based nursing, who applied evidence-based practices in their clinics and who knew the literature review. Conclusion: It is very important to determine the factors affecting the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of nurses towards evidence-based practice and to organize training programs in this direction in terms of professional development and increasing the quality of health care.

Abstract

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı özel hastanelerde çalışan hemşirelerin kanıta dayalı uygulamaya ilişkin tutumlarını ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini Manisa ili merkezinde bulunan 10 özel hastanede çalışan hemşireler (n=460) oluşturmuştur. Veriler 20 Ekim 2022 ile 20 Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında hastane ziyaretleri yapılarak 214 hemşireden yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmada hemşirelerin tanıtıcı özellikleri anketi ve Kanıta Dayalı Hemşirelik Tutum Anketi kullanılmıştır. Kanıta Dayalı Hemşireliğe Yönelik Tutum Anketi, 15 maddeden ve kanıta dayalı hemşireliğe yönelik inanç ve beklentiler, kanıta dayalı hemşireliğe yönelik davranış niyeti ve kanıta dayalı hemşireliğe yönelik duygular olmak üzere üç alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin %73,8'i kanıta dayalı hemşirelik kavramını bilmekte ve %68,2'si kliniğinde kanıta dayalı uygulamaları uygulamaktadır. Kanıta Dayalı Hemşirelik Tutum Ölçeği puan ortalaması 61,5±8,8 (min=30 maks=75) olarak belirlenmiştir. Kanıta Dayalı Hemşirelik Tutum Anketi toplam puan ortalaması serviste çalışan, güncel hemşirelik literatürünü takip eden, kanıta dayalı hemşirelik kavramını bilen, kanıta dayalı hemşirelik uygulamalarını kendi kliniklerinde uygulayan ve literatür taramasını bilen hemşirelerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin kanıta dayalı uygulamaya yönelik bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi ve bu doğrultuda eğitim programlarının düzenlenmesi mesleki gelişim ve sağlık hizmetinin kalitesinin artırılması açısından oldukça önemlidir.
