Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) related to evidence-based practice (EBP) among nurses at Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre (SASMEC) and to examine the relationship between these factors and socio-demographic characteristics. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from April to May 2022 among 122 nurses using a structured questionnaire, including the Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ). The data were analysed using SPSS version 23. Results: The majority of nurses demonstrated moderate EBP knowledge (63.9%), positive attitude (96.7%), and moderate practice level (50%). A significant correlation was found between EBP knowledge and participation in EBP-related programs (p < 0.05). Conclusion: While most nurses at SASMEC have moderate EBP knowledge and practice, their attitudes towards EBP are overwhelmingly positive. It is recommended to improve EBP implementation through continuous education and targeted interventions.
