Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior Scale on Evidence-Based Nursing
Time Frame: Change from baseline and post test (after 14 weeks).
Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior Scale on Evidence-Based Nursing The Likert-type scale consists of four sub-dimensions: "knowledge", "attitude", "future use" and "application" and 26 items. Although the scale does not have a total score, each sub-dimension is evaluated separately. A high score indicates that the student has more knowledge.
Change from baseline and post test (after 14 weeks).
Nursing Students' Awareness and Attitude Scale to Research and Developments
Time Frame: Change from baseline and post test (after 14 weeks).
The scale is a five-point Likert type (strongly disagree = 1, strongly agree = 5) and consists of 29 items, 17 of which are positive and 12 of which are negative, and has a single sub-dimensional. The scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 29-145. A high average score indicates that awareness and positive attitude towards research is high.
