The effect of advanced professional programs on nurse’s beliefs and implementation of evidence-based
practice in Saudi healthcare settings
Thamer Alduraywish
Prince Sultan Military Medical City, KSA
Nowadays, healthcare systems move rapidly toward Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). Critical care nurses relay on the gained
knowledge for patient care rather than any other source. Nurses education has shown to be associatedwith EBP beliefs, in the same
line recent research had found that nurses who held stronger beliefs about the value of EBP reported a higher level of implementation
that nurses with weaker EBP beliefs. However, it is challenging to determine if nurses who have received a postgraduate education
have developed the further skills to look into research, analyse it, and adopt its findings into their own nursing practice. Hence, the
primary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of advanced professional programs in EBP beliefs and implementation in Saudi
critical care settings. A cross-sectional descriptive and correlational study will include 150 nurses to ensure results validity. The
inclusion criteria will be registered nurses working full-time at Saudi critical care settings for at least two years, nurses that work part-
time and those who do not sign the consent form will be excluded. Nurses will be recruited to complete the questionnaire, they will be
informed about the objective of the study and will be asked to sign a consent form. This study will investigate how nurse’s education
and knowledge could affect EBP beliefs and implementation which will be beneficial to patient outcomes and quality of care.
