Introduction: Evidence-based care improves the quality of care and patient outcomes and reduces the need for variation in care and unnecessary care. To implement evidence-based care, nurses' knowledge and performance must be evaluated. The present study was conducted to investigate and psychometrically evaluate the evidence-based performance questionnaire created by Upton in 2006.
Methods: In this methodological study, after obtaining permission from the questionnaire designer, the steps of translation and re-translation, etc., the validity of the content and the structure of the tool were evaluated. Also, reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and Intra-Class correlation. For construct validity, 524 nurses working in teaching hospitals of medical sciences universities completed the evidence-based performance questionnaire.
Results: The exploratory factor analysis results showed the three dimensions of knowledge, attitude, and implementation of evidence-based practice. These three dimensions explained 53% of the total variance of the evidence-based performance questionnaire variables. Also, the tool's reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.894) and Intra-Class correlation (0.881).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the evidence-based performance questionnaire had good validity and reliability in Iran. According to the appropriate psychometric parameters, this tool can be used in future studies to evaluate nurses' performance in evidence-based care.
