Abstract
Objective: Nurses working in intensive care units should be aware of evidence-based nursing attitudes and decision-making skills.
Methods: It is a descriptive cross-sectional correlational study. The data were collected with the Information Form, Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Questionnaire (EBNAQ), and Nurse Decision-Making Instrument (NDMI). Data were evaluated using descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation Analysis, Independent t-tests, ANOVA, and Levene’s tests. p<0.05 significance was accepted.
Results: It was found that the nurses’ attitudes towards evidence-based nursing were at a moderate level (EBNAQ score 61.59±9.27), and they made intuitive decisions (NDMI score 95.05±12.05). The belief and expectations sub-dimension mean score of EBNAQ was 29.63± 4.41, the intention sub-dimension mean score was 15.30 ± 3.14, and the emotions sub-dimension mean score was 16.65±3.14.
Conclusion: The study concluded that nurses’ positive evidence-based nursing attitudes supported their decision-making skills. In line with this result, nurses’ awareness of evidence-based practices should be increased, and they should be able to make analytical decisions.
