Abstract

The purpose of the research is to determine the student nurses’ knowledge, attitude and behaviors towards evidence-based nursing practices. This cross-sectional descriptive research was conducted with 722 students studying in the nursing department of a faculty in the spring semester of the 2017-2018 academic year. The data were collected through the questionnaire form and the Scale of Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors of Students on Evidence-Based Nursing. The data were evaluated using descriptive statistical methods as well as student t test, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson Correlation test. It was found that students received an average score of 22.14±4.78 from the knowledge sub-dimension of the scale, 24.10±5.80 from the attitude sub-dimension, 37.49±7.56 from the future use sub-dimension, and 16.69±5.86 from the implementation sub-dimension. It was determined that the mean scores of the students' ages and the class levels they studied and the knowledge, attitude and future use sub-dimensions of the scale showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05). It was determined that the students who took evidence-based nursing courses at the university, attended the training on this subject outside the university and stated that they needed evidence-based nursing knowledge in their professional practice had higher mean scores in the implementation sub-dimension of the scale (p<0.05). The research showed that the students' evidence-based practice knowledge, attitude, and future use score averages were good level and the practice score average was moderate level. It was determined that the age and class levels of the students were effective in the mean scores of knowledge, attitude, implementation and use in the future.

HEMŞİRELİK ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN KANITA DAYALI HEMŞİRELİK UYGULAMALARINA YÖNELİK BİLGİ, TUTUM VE DAVRANIŞLARI

Abstract

Araştırmanın amacı, öğrenci hemşirelerin kanıta dayalı hemşirelik uygulamalarına yönelik bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını belirlemektir. Bu kesitsel tipte tanımlayıcı çalışma, bir fakültenin hemşirelik bölümünde 2017-2018 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar yarıyılında öğrenim gören 722 öğrenci ile yapıldı. Veriler, anket formu ve Öğrencilerin Kanıta Dayalı Hemşirelik Konusundaki Bilgi, Tutum ve Davranışları Ölçeği ile toplandı. Veriler tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemlerin yanı sıra student t testi, tek yönlü ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis testi ve Pearson Korelasyon testi ile değerlendirildi. Öğrencilerin ölçeğin bilgi alt boyutundan ortalama 22.14±4.78, tutum alt boyutundan ortalama 24.10±5.80, gelecekte kullanma alt boyutundan 37.49±7.56 ve uygulama alt boyutundan 16.69±5.86 puan aldıkları bulundu. Öğrencilerin yaşları ve öğrenim gördükleri sınıf ile ölçeğin bilgi, tutum ve gelecekte kullanma alt boyutları puan ortalamalarının istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği belirlendi (p<0.05). Üniversitede kanıta dayalı hemşirelik ile ilgili ders alan, üniversite dışında bu konuya yönelik eğitime katılan ve mesleki uygulamalarında kanıta dayalı hemşirelik bilgisine ihtiyaç duyduğunu ifade eden öğrencilerin ölçeğin uygulama alt boyutu puan ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu saptandı (p<0.05). Araştırma öğrencilerin kanıta dayalı uygulama bilgi, tutum ve gelecekte kullanma puan ortalamalarının iyi düzeyde olduğunu, uygulama puan ortalamasının orta düzeyde olduğunu gösterdi. Öğrencilerin yaş ve sınıf düzeylerinin bilgi, tutum, gelecekte kullanma ve uygulama puan ortalamalarında etkili olduğu saptandı.
