Abstract

INTRODUCTION: due to the nature of Evidence-Based Practice and its relevance to nursing, the skills that it requires should be integrated in the healthcare degree programs. Therefore, the Evidence-Based Practice process should be introduced in the nursing education program to strengthen the students' independence and self-learning skills. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the academic teaching and the assessment of the competence degree achieved by students are hindered by the lack of validated assessment instruments. In the Italian context, today there is no instrument to assess the knowledge, skills and attitudes to Evidence-Based Practice.

OBJECTIVE: the authors aimed at validating, for the Italian context, the Evidence-Based Practice Evaluation Competence Questionnaire (EBP-COQ).
METHODS: this study was an Italian linguistic and cultural adaptation of a research instrument. To this end, the Beaton and Sousa Model were used. These models require six phases and aim at producing a pre-final version of the instrument to be submitted to a sample of nursing students.

RESULTS: Each item has reached a content validity index (I-CVI) value equal to or greater than 0.9 and a scale validity index (S-CVI) value of 0.992 for the whole questionnaire. The study has confirmed the reliability of the instrument's internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.892. The reliability of the test–retest confirms the stability of the questionnaire over time (Pearson's r = 0.976). The factorial analysis confirmed the construct validity.

CONCLUSION: the instrument has been validated in its psychometric characteristics and is ready to be administered to Italian nursing students.

Italian Validation of Evidence Based Practice Evaluation Competence Questionnaire (EBP-COQ)

INTRODUZIONE: per la natura dell'Evidence-Based Practice e per la sua rilevanza per l'infermieristica, le abilità che richiede dovrebbero essere una componente dell'educazione nei Corsi di Laurea di primo livello. Per questo il processo dell'Evidence-Based Practice dovrebbe essere introdotto precocemente nella formazione infermieristica per sviluppare negli studenti indipendenza e abilità di autoapprendimento. La valutazione dell'efficacia dell'insegnamento nella formazione universitaria e la valutazione del grado di competenza raggiunto dagli studenti vengono ostacolati da un'assenza di strumenti di valutazione validati. Nel contesto italiano non esiste ad oggi uno strumento per valutare conoscenze, competenze e attitudini all'Evidence-Based Practice.

OBIETTIVO: scopo di questo studio è validare per il contesto italiano l'Evidence Based Practice Evaluation Competence Questionnaire (EBP-COQ).

METODI: validazione e adattamento linguistico-culturale di uno strumento di accertamento delle competenze EBP negli studenti infermieri. Per condurre il processo di validazione e di adattamento linguistico-culturale sono stati assunti i modelli di Beaton e di Sousa. Questi modelli richiedono sei fasi e hanno l'obiettivo di produrre una versione pre-finale dello strumento pronta per essere somministrata ad un campione di studenti infermieri.

RISULTATI: ogni item ha raggiunto un valore di Content Validity Index (I-CVI) pari o superiore a 0.9 e un valore di Scale Validity Index (S-CVI) di 0.992 per tutto il questionario. Lo studio ha confermato l'affidabilità della coerenza interna dello strumento con un valore complessivo di Alpha di Cronbach di 0,892. L'affidabilità del test-retest conferma la stabilità dello strumento nel tempo (r di Pearson 0,976). L'analisi fattoriale ha confermato la validità di costrutto.

CONCLUSIONI: lo strumento è stato validato nelle sue caratteristiche psicometriche ed è pronto per essere somministrato agli studenti infermieri italiani
