abstract = {Background: Twenty years after the degree in nursing was introduced in Spain, the subject of evidence-based nursing is still unstructured and unestablished in most faculties. Moreover,
there are hardly any rigorous studies at a national level that evaluate the current state of this competence in our faculties. Understanding the starting point is essential for the curricular design to
ensure that evidence-based practice is implemented among future professionals. Aim: To design
and validate an evidence-based nursing competency questionnaire for fourth-year nursing students.
Methods: A specific questionnaire was developed and validated (EBE-ST). A cross-sectional survey
design with psychometric validation of an instrument. Participants were 304 senior year nursing
students from eight universities in Spain (2020). Results: The EBE-ST questionnaire is composed of
33 items that determine eight factors. It presents adequate reliability and validity (alpha = 0.882),
measuring knowledge, attitudes and the practical application of evidence-based practice. Conclusions: We have created an instrument with good psychometric properties to measure evidence-based
practice competence among senior nursing students. The heterogeneity of knowledge regarding
evidence-based nursing in our country suggests that further reflection is warranted on the incorporation of this topic during undergraduate training. We have designed and validated an evidence-based
nursing competency questionnaire specific to nursing students.},
