Nursing students are strategically positioned to influence adoption of evidence-based practice within the nursing profession. The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of knowledge, attitudes, use and future use of evidence-based practice among baccalaureate nursing students at two universities. A cross-sectional survey design was used to study a convenience sample of 436 nursing students (response rate of 63.3%) enrolled at two baccalaureate nursing programs at the beginning of 2007 fall semester in the United States. The surveys included demographic questionnaire and knowledge, attitudes and behaviors questionnaire for evidence-based practice. EBP Knowledge, Attitudes toward EBP and Future Use of EBP subscales demonstrated statistically significant increase in mean scores with advancing academic levels. Confidence in clinical decision-making and clinical preparedness had moderate positive correlation with EBP Use and Future use of EBP. Simultaneous multiple regression analyses indicated that the clinical preparedness and confidence in clinical decision-making were statistically significant predictor variables for EBP use and Future use of EBP. Clinically well-prepared nursing students with high confidence in clinical decision-making are most likely to use evidence-based practice, both in the present and the future.
护理专业的学生在影响护理行业采纳循证实践方面具有战略地位。本研究旨在确定两所大学护理专业学士学位学生的循证实践知识、态度、使用和未来使用的预测因素。本研究采用横断面调查设计，对美国两所护理学士学位课程的 436 名护理专业学生（响应率为 63.3%）进行了便利抽样研究。调查问卷包括人口统计学问卷和循证实践知识、态度和行为问卷。EBP 知识、对 EBP 的态度和 EBP 的未来使用分量表的平均得分随着学术水平的提高呈统计学显著增加。临床决策信心和临床准备情况与 EBP 使用和未来使用呈中度正相关。同时进行的多元回归分析表明，临床准备情况和临床决策信心是 EBP 使用和未来使用的统计学显著预测变量。临床准备充分且对临床决策有信心的护理专业学生最有可能在现在和未来使用循证实践。
