Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the evidence-based
nursing attitudes of nurses working in surgical wards and their patient-centered care
competencies.
Design
This was a prospective, correlational, and cross-sectional study.
Methods
The sample for this study included 209 surgical nurses working in the surgical clinics
of a research hospital. Data were collected between March and July 2020 using the
Nurses' Descriptive Characteristics form, Evidence-Based Attitude Toward Nursing Scale
(EATNS) and the patient-centered care competency of the nurses, Patient-Centered Care
Competency Scale (PCCS). Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were conducted
to analyze the data.
Findings
The mean total EATNS was moderate (53.93 ± 7.18, out of 75), and their approach to
patient-centered care behaviors was high (69.46 ± 8.64, out of 85).
Conclusions
We found a medium level of positive correlation and a significant relationship between
the attitudes toward evidence-based nursing and patient-centered care competencies
of the nurses participating in the study (r = 0.507, P < .05).
