Abstract

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.

护士循证医疗保健能力的测量及相关背景因素：一项范围回顾。

推进循证实践要求护士在被称为循证医疗的证据翻译过程中具有一定的能力。进行了范围审查，以确定用于测量护士循证医疗保健能力的工具，并绘制相关的背景因素。该综述遵循JBI指南，检索了2021年和2023年的七个数据库CINAHL （EBSCO）、PubMed、Scopus、Medic和灰色文献EBSCO Open Dissertations & MedNar。共纳入52项研究。采用多种工具测量护士循证医疗保健能力相关领域（n = 23）。本研究共考察了24个背景因素，其中与护士循证能力相关的6个因素是：教育水平、工作经验、EBP教育、年龄、临床环境和研究经验。未来的研究应进一步探讨测量工具与循证卫生保健能力、卫生保健需求和护理角色的关系，并进一步探讨背景因素的意义。

期刊介绍： Research in Nursing & Health ( RINAH ) is a peer-reviewed general research journal devoted to publication of a wide range of research that will inform the practice of nursing and other health disciplines. The editors invite reports of research describing problems and testing interventions related to health phenomena, health care and self-care, clinical organization and administration; and the testing of research findings in practice. Research protocols are considered if funded in a peer-reviewed process by an agency external to the authors’ home institution and if the work is in progress. Papers on research methods and techniques are appropriate if they go beyond what is already generally available in the literature and include description of successful use of the method. Theory papers are accepted if each proposition is supported by research evidence. Systematic reviews of the literature are reviewed if PRISMA guidelines are followed. Letters to the editor commenting on published articles are welcome.
