This study aimed to describe the current situation of evidence-based practice (EBP) among undergraduate nursing students in Thailand.
A cross-sectional study was conducted. A convenience sample of 470 third- and fourth-year undergraduate nursing students from five public universities across Thailand participated in this study from January 2021 to March 2021. All participants were invited to complete a general information questionnaire, and the Student Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (S-EBPQ).
The overall mean S-EBPQ score was 5.29 ± 0.71, and the four subscales, from highest to lowest, were attitudes (5.50 ± 0.93), sharing and applying EBP (5.37 ± 0.87), practice (5.18 ± 0.84), and retrieving and reviewing evidence (5.10 ± 0.81). The current situation of S-EBPQ was higher among nursing students who had higher previous EBP studies, familiarity with research methods, confidence in clinical decision-making, preparedness in practice, and access to journals ( < 0.05).
This study's findings provide valuable insights for planning strategies that can be integrated into the existing nursing curricula to enhance nursing undergraduates' EBP application in clinical settings.
本研究旨在描述泰国本科护理专业学生循证实践（EBP）的现状。
进行了一项横断面研究。2021年1月至2021年3月，从泰国五所公立大学选取了470名三、四年级本科护理专业学生作为便利样本参与本研究。所有参与者均被邀请填写一份一般信息问卷和学生循证实践问卷（S-EBPQ）。
S-EBPQ的总体平均得分为5.29±0.71，四个子量表得分从高到低依次为态度（5.50±0.93）、循证实践的分享与应用（5.37±0.87）、实践（5.18±0.84）以及证据检索与回顾（5.10±0.81）。在之前循证实践学习程度较高、熟悉研究方法、临床决策有信心、实践准备充分且能获取期刊的护理专业学生中，S-EBPQ的现状得分更高（<0.05）。
本研究结果为制定可纳入现有护理课程的策略提供了有价值的见解，以提高护理本科生在临床环境中循证实践的应用能力。
