ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF A SMALL-GROUP EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ON NURSES' KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, AND PRACTICES REGARDING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE

Abstract

This cross-sectional study evaluates the effectiveness of a small-group educational program in improving nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) concerning evidence-based practice (EBP). The study employed a mixed-methods approach to assess the impact of the program on the participants. Quantitative data were collected using a pre- and post-intervention Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) survey, while qualitative insights were gathered through focus group discussions. Results showed significant improvements in nurses’ knowledge and attitudes towards EBP, along with enhanced application in clinical practice. This study highlights the importance of tailored educational interventions in promoting evidence-based nursing practices.
