Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) increases quality of care. However, its practice in Indonesia is still uncovered. A measure on EBP is then needed to acquire the EBP profile in Indonesia. The Upton and Upton’s EBPQ is utilized to measure the perception of health workers on their EBP’s knowledge, attitude and practice. This questionnaire is widely known; however, the Indonesian version is yet available. Therefore, a reliable Indonesian version of EBPQ is imperative. Objectives: This study aimed to translate EBPQ into Indonesian language, adapt, and evaluate its reliability. Methods: The WHO’s framework on translation and adoption process of instrument was assigned in this study. 24 items in 3 subscales of EBPQ was translated forward, discussed with experts then translated backward, pretested and finalized. The reliability test was conducted towards a total of 20 doctors and nurses at three hospitals in West Java, Indonesia and were calculated using the SPSS software. Results: 12 changes of words and the psychometric scale were applied in the Indonesian version of EBPQ. The 4 pairs of questions in the attitude subscale were separated into 8 independent questions, although only 4 of them reliable. The Cronbach’s of total items valued 0.92 with 0.81, 0.74 and 0.94 for practice, attitude, and knowledge, respectively. Thus, a total of 24 reliable questions were finalized in this version. Conclusions: The Indonesian version of EBPQ is reliable. Further study on the attitude subscale and psychometric scale are necessary.

Health services are constantly met by greater demands on offering the best treatment and care based on quality and research. For that reason health workers and teachers in health care institutions and universities are working evidence-based. Hedmark University College and Hamar municipality have collaborated in two projects. The aim of this article is to illuminate the students’ learning outcomes in palliative care after participated in two evidence-based projects. Different written guides for conversations with patients, next of kin and staff, a log-book and an evaluation form were developed. Results show that the students learned about the significance of continuity in patients’ pain relief, spiritual and existential needs, and about palliative care in the municipality.

Collaborative Model

Introduction: This study is a part of a project aimed at implementing and evaluating the Collaborative Model of Best Practice, (CMBP) to promoting evidence-based practice (EBP) in health care contexts. The aim of the study was to assess nurses’ interest, attitudes, utilisation, and views on promotors of and resources related to EBP before and after taking part in the CMBP project, and to investigate their views on the CMBP in relation to collaboration between the academy and clinical practice, the earning environment, job satisfaction, and nursing quality.Methods: A descriptive, comparative design was used with pre- and post-test measurements. The Research Utilization Questionnaire (RUQ) and study-specific questions were distributed to ward nurses (n = 67) in a rural Indian hospital.Results: Most of the nurses thought that the CMBP had a positive impact on quality of care, on their attitudes to, interest in, and knowledge EBP, and on their job satisfaction. They also considered that the collaboration between the nursing college and clinical practice had a positive impact on the learning environment and that more resources were available at the end of the project.Conclusions: The CMBP project was an attempt to improve the quality of care for patients and the learning environment for nursing students and nurses on the project wards. The results indicated fulfilment of these goals, which strengthens the usability of the model. Implementation of EBP is challenging and requires long-lasting activities and comprehensive support from leaders and facilitators. More studies are needed in which EBP is systematically implemented, accomplished, evaluated, and reported.

School nurses contend with a variety of challenges related to collecting and using their own data. Seemingly small steps can be taken to overcome these challenges, which will result in significant improvements in data collection and use. Improving the quality of data collection assists school nurses to identify and define practice issues and guide implementation of evidence-based practice within their schools and districts. This article provides school nurses with practical steps to collect and use school or district specific health data.
