Advancing evidence-based practice requires nurses to have competence in the spectrum of evidence-translation process known as evidence-based healthcare. A scoping review was conducted to identify the instruments used to measure nurses evidence-based healthcare competence and map the associated background factors. The review followed the JBI guidelines with a search made to seven databases CINAHL (EBSCO), PubMed, Scopus, Medic and gray literature EBSCO Open Dissertations & MedNar in 2021 and 2023. A total of 52 studies were included. Nurses' evidence-based healthcare competence related areas were measured with various instruments (n = 23). A total of 24 background factors were examined of which the six most frequently examined with reported associations to nurses' evidence-based competence were: educational level, work experience, EBP education, age, clinical setting, and research experience. Future research should examine the relation of measurement instruments to evidence-based healthcare competence, healthcare requirements and nursing roles, with further exploring the significance of background factors.
推进循证实践要求护士具备循证医疗保健这一证据转化过程全领域的能力。开展了一项范围综述，以确定用于衡量护士循证医疗保健能力的工具，并梳理相关背景因素。该综述遵循循证卫生保健国际协作网（JBI）指南，于2021年和2023年检索了七个数据库，即护理学与健康领域数据库（CINAHL，EBSCO平台）、医学期刊数据库（PubMed）、文摘与引文数据库（Scopus）、医学数据库（Medic）以及灰色文献数据库EBSCO开放学位论文数据库和医学文摘数据库（MedNar）。共纳入52项研究。使用各种工具（n = 23）对护士循证医疗保健能力相关领域进行了测量。共考察了24个背景因素，其中与护士循证能力有报道关联的六个最常考察因素为：教育水平、工作经验、循证实践教育、年龄、临床环境和研究经验。未来的研究应考察测量工具与循证医疗保健能力、医疗保健要求和护理角色之间的关系，并进一步探究背景因素的重要性。
