The Evidence-Based Practice Beliefs (EBP-B) and Evidence-Based Practice Implementation (EBP-I) scales are psychometrically sound instruments that were used, within an educational setting, to systematically study students' beliefs about and their implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP). Czech and Slovak versions of these instruments were developed and evaluated using a sample population of nursing students.
The purpose of the study was to test the psychometric properties of the Czech and Slovak versions of the EBP-B and EBP-I scales.
Psychometric properties were evaluated using a sample of undergraduate and graduate (nearly graduated) nursing students (n = 223) completing EBP courses. To test psychometric properties of the questionnaire, its reliability and validity were explored. Cronbach´s alpha was computed to evaluate internal structure and internal consistency.
The Slovak versions of both the EBP-B and the EBP-I scale have good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: .82 and .94, respectively). Similarly, the Czech versions of the EBP-B and the EBP-I scales both have good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: .85 and .89, respectively).
The results of psychometric analysis of the Czech and Slovak versions of the EBP-B and the EBP-I scales are consistent with the results of the original study and indicate that the Czech and Slovak versions have the potential to be valid, reliable, and sensitive instruments for measuring an individual's beliefs about the value of EBP and their ability to implement it. Both instruments can be used to assess changes in nurses´ beliefs about EBP over time as well as the effectiveness of strategies aimed at promoting the use of evidence in practice.
循证实践信念（EBP - B）量表和循证实践实施（EBP - I）量表是心理测量学上可靠的工具，在教育环境中用于系统研究学生对循证实践（EBP）的信念及其实施情况。这些工具的捷克语和斯洛伐克语版本是针对护理专业学生样本开发并进行评估的。
本研究的目的是测试EBP - B和EBP - I量表捷克语和斯洛伐克语版本的心理测量特性。
使用完成EBP课程的本科和研究生（即将毕业）护理专业学生样本（n = 223）评估心理测量特性。为测试问卷的心理测量特性，探讨了其信度和效度。计算Cronbach's α系数以评估内部结构和内部一致性。
EBP - B和EBP - I量表的斯洛伐克语版本都具有良好的内部一致性（Cronbach's α系数分别为0.82和0.94）。同样，EBP - B和EBP - I量表的捷克语版本也都具有良好的内部一致性（Cronbach's α系数分别为0.85和0.89）。
EBP - B和EBP - I量表捷克语和斯洛伐克语版本的心理测量分析结果与原始研究结果一致，表明捷克语和斯洛伐克语版本有可能成为测量个体对EBP价值的信念及其实施能力的有效、可靠和敏感的工具。这两种工具都可用于评估护士对EBP的信念随时间的变化以及旨在促进实践中证据使用的策略的有效性。
