Background: Master nursing students are strategically positioned to influence adoption ofevidence based practice within the nursing profession. Educating master nursing students withcore knowledge and skills for evidence based practice may be an effective strategy to increasetheir future use of evidence in their nursing practice to deliver high quality care and improvepatient health status in a cost effective approach. Aim: Examine the effect of a trainingprogram on evidence-based practice profiles and skills among students enrolled in the Masterof Science in nursing program. Design: A quasi-experimental design. Setting: The study wasconducted at the Faculty of Nursing, Zagazig University. Tools of data collection: Two toolswere used in this study the Evidence-Based Practice Profile Questionnaire (EBP2) and theFresno Test of Evidence-Based Medicine. Results: A total of 45 master nursing studentsparticipated in the program and data collection. Less than10% of participants had previoustraining about evidence based practice. Overall, scores were significantly increased.However, a sub score related to appraising evidence did not change and had a mean of 0 atboth time points. Our 15-hour program with six hours of lecture and nine hours of smallgroup exercises was effective at increasing knowledge of terminology, identifying clinicalquestions, searching for evidence, identifying the design and relevance of studies, andimproving attitudes and confidence related to evidence based practice. Building skills forappraising evidence may need additional time or a different format for this group ofparticipants. Conclusion: The training program was an effective strategy in makingsignificant improvements in all domains of evidence based practice profiles and most skillsrelated to evidence based practice inquiry among master nursing students.Recommendations: Further evaluation is needed to determine retention of the skill set andassociation of evidence based practice knowledge and skills on patient outcomes.
