Overview

Randomized trial validates an Evidence-Based Practice scale for Italian nurses, suggesting a reliable assessment tool.

Key Points

  • The aim is to translate and validate the Evidence-Based Practice Competency Scale for Italian nurses.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional online survey of Italian nurses in 2024
  • Translated and culturally adapted the 24-item EBP Competency Scale
  • Assessed content validity with a 16-member expert panel and conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses
  • High content validity indices (I-CVI = 0.75-1.00; S-CVI = 0.92)
  • A one-factor model explained 72.1% of variance and showed excellent fit
  • Very high reliability demonstrated (α = 0.974; ICC = 0.83) and lower competence in nurses without prior EBP training
