Achieving high quality care through full use of potential stemming from the use of the principles of evidence based practice (EBP) requires adequate shaping of student attitudes toward EBP already at an early stage of education, as well as teaching in the scope of knowledge and skills essential to apply EBP in future professional work. Therefore, nursing educators need a tool to assess competency in EBP. This study aims to present the adaptation of the psychometric test and setting norms to the Polish version of the Evidence Based Practice Competence Questionnaire (EBP-COQ_P).
Poland-wide multicentre study, cross-sectional validation design, a representative sample of 1636 nursing students. The EBP-COQ_P was validated in terms of content validity through an expert review. The EBP-COQ_P was administered to evaluate test reliability and validity. Settings norms for the Polish nurse population were also done.
Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that 25 items are grouped into three categories which define competences related to EBP: attitude, knowledge, and skills. Cronbach's alpha was 0.856 for the entire questionnaire. EBP-COQ_P had good parameters of absolute stability. EBP-COQ_P was also characterized with external construct validity. Measurement with the use of EBP-COQ_P allowed for a good differentiation of the respondents in terms of their expertise in EBP (known-groups validity).
In terms of reliability and validity, EBP-COQ_P is compared with its original version. EBP-COQ_P may be used in educational practice (graduate and postgraduate education). Polish norms set for a representative group of nursing students may serve as a benchmark for the results obtained from individual and group measurements.
通过充分利用循证实践（EBP）原则所带来的潜力来实现高质量的护理，需要在教育的早期阶段就对学生的 EBP 态度进行适当的塑造，同时教授在未来专业工作中应用 EBP 所必需的知识和技能。因此，护理教育者需要一种工具来评估 EBP 的能力。本研究旨在介绍经过心理计量测试改编和设置规范的波兰版循证实践能力问卷（EBP-COQ_P）。
波兰全国多中心研究，横断面验证设计，具有代表性的 1636 名护理学生样本。通过专家审查对 EBP-COQ_P 的内容进行了有效性验证。通过 EBP-COQ_P 对测试的可靠性和有效性进行评估。同时制定了波兰护士群体的设置规范。
验证性因子分析表明，25 个项目分为三个类别，分别定义了与 EBP 相关的能力：态度、知识和技能。整个问卷的克朗巴赫系数为 0.856。EBP-COQ_P 具有良好的绝对稳定性参数。EBP-COQ_P 还具有外部结构有效性。使用 EBP-COQ_P 进行测量可以很好地区分受访者在 EBP 方面的专业水平（已知群体有效性）。
EBP-COQ_P 在可靠性和有效性方面与原始版本进行了比较。EBP-COQ_P 可用于教育实践（本科和研究生教育）。为有代表性的护理学生群体设置的波兰规范可以作为个人和群体测量结果的基准。
