Abstract
It is necessary to explore the current status and determinants of evidence-based nursing (EBN) competencies among pediatric nurses, thereby offering valuable insights for clinical practice and patient care. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among pediatric nurses employed at a pediatric hospital in May 2024. Pearson correlation and multiple stepwise linear regression were used to ascertain the predictors of EBN competencies. The survey included 422 pediatric nurses. The mean EBN competency score was 70.66 ± 15.04, indicating a moderate level of EBN proficiency. Correlational analysis revealed significant associations between EBN competencies and nurses' age (r = 0.465), educational level (r = 0.534), professional title (r = 0.507), and prior EBN training (r = 0.528) (all p < .05). Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that age, educational level, professional title, and prior EBN training are influencing factors (all p < .05). It is essential for nursing administrators to implement more rigorous and targeted EBN training programs to enhance the competencies of pediatric nurses. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2025;56(6):237-244.].
