• Abstract:

  Goal: The provision of evidence-based health care is an imperative of contemporary societies in a context of more complex clinical conditions, demanding high quality and safety responses, in a context of high resource constraints, implying higher levels of effectiveness, efficiency and effectiveness of interventions. In this context, it is pertinent to assess the impact of promoting evidence-based practice through the promotion of a short-term intensive educational/training intervention. Methods: A quasi-experimental study in which the impact of an educational intervention was evaluated on 264 subjects, which corresponds to 63.8% of the total number of participants in the training sessions (N = 414). For data analysis, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used, specifically the t test for independent samples. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The following instruments were used to monitor and evaluate the impact: BRUS – Barriers to Research Utilization Scale; QABPBE-26 – Questionnaire of Attitudes and Barriers to Evidence-Based Practice and the QECPBE-20 – Questionnaire of Clinical Efficacy and Evidence-Based Practice. All instruments had psychometric properties indicative of their validity for use in the present study. Results: There are statistically significant differences at the level of the “Practice” subscale of the QECPBE-20 and the four subscales that make up the BRUS scale. Regarding the “Practices” dimension of the QECPBE-20, lower mean values of evidence-based practice perception were registered after the intervention was carried out. Regarding the perception of barriers in relation to EBP, in the four dimensions higher average values are observed. Final considerations: A short-term training program is an intervention that can be used by organizational leaders in order to provide nurses with greater skills, involving them in the dynamics of EBP, and therefore, albeit in a limited way, relevant.
