Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) positively impacts the safety and quality of care for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD). Objective: To assess nurses' attitudes toward EBP and the barriers they face in implementing it when caring for people with CKD on HD. Methodology: A cross-sectional, exploratory, and descriptive study was conducted and applied the Portuguese version of the Attitudes to Evidence-Based Practice questionnaire to 147 nurses working in HD. Results: Nurses demonstrated attitudes promoting EBP and perceived aptitude for searching (76.1%) and evaluating evidence (78.2%), which were related to professional group (p = 0.001; r = -0.278) and academic qualifications (p = 0.02; r = -0.191). Lack of time (66%), lack of education (68.6%), and lack of experts sharing information (72.1%) were reported as the main barriers. Conclusion: Nurses recognize that EBP contributes to professional development, demonstrate positive attitudes toward EBP, and identify the associated barriers.
