Abstract

Objective: This study was aimed at evaluating the experiences, views, and opinions of senior nursing students on evidence-based practices for the clinical environment just before graduation. Material and Methods: The research was performed in the interpretive paradigm using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Data were collected from 15 students who were going to graduate from the nursing department of an eastern Türkiye university from May 2019-July 2019. The data were collected by the first researcher using the individual, face-to-face interview method. The data were collected through detailed individual interviews, using the ''Personal Information Form'' and the ''Semi-Structured Interview Form.'' The Personal Information Form included questions on the participants'' age, year at school, sex, academic achievement, information about evidence-based practices, and reading status. Results: The opinions of the nursing undergraduate students on evidence-based practices were analysed, and 8 themes were created in 4 categories. Data analyses yielded the following 3 categories: ''scientific product'', ''vital for the quality of patient care and the professionalization of nurses'', ''applicability in patient care'' and ''the power to referral evidence-based practice in patient care.'' Conclusion: It was determined that some of the nursing students did not learn evidence-based practices at all, and the most important reason for this was the students'' indifference, and clinical nurses'' lack of knowledge and the academic nurses'' lack of attention regarding evidence-based learning.
