|
Change in Evidence-Based Practice Process Assessment Scale (EBPPAS) score
Tijdsspanne: Baseline, 3 months (mid-intervention), and 6 months (immediately after completion of the course)
|
The primary outcome is the change in participants' EBPPAS score from baseline to post-intervention. The EBPPAS assesses participants' evidence-based practice process outcomes. Items are rated on a 5-point response scale, with higher scores indicating more favorable evidence-based practice process outcomes. |
