摘要：Objective: To compare (i) the evidence-based practice (EBP) profiles and (ii) socio-demographic characteristics of nurses in 4 selected low-middle income countries (LMICs). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 677 nurses from 4 hospitals in 4 countries (Afghanistan, Ghana, Iran, and Uganda). Results: The findings revealed that there are significant differences between the 3 EBP subscales (that is, practice/use, attitude, and knowledge/skill) across the 4 countries (P < 0.05). No significant EBP differences were identified across age groups and gender in the subscales of practice, knowledge, and attitude. Practice and knowledge subscales were significantly associated with working schedules (that is, par t-time and full-time) (P < 0.05). Analyses also revealed significant differences between attitude and knowledge subscales and working experience (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Nurses in the 4 countries have moderate practice, attitude, and knowledge/skills of EBP. Nurses in LMICs require continuous professional development programs and suppor t to enhance their practice and knowledge regarding EBP in clinical settings.
