Abstract

This study analyses factors that nursing professionals perceive as facilitators, as well as the influence of both, practice environment and different professional profiles, in the development of an evidence-based clinical practice (EBCP), in the Balearic Islands’ Health Service. The Evidence Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ) and Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) had previously been validated to Spanish context. A second stage was carried out to obtain a diagnose through a multicentre, cross-sectional, observational study with 3,129 nurses in the Balearic Health Service in 2009. The analysis strategy included an descriptive and bivariated analysis with parametric and non-parametric tests, and a multivariate analysis with the main variables in the study and the factors in the EBPQ and PES-NWI questionnaires. Results show significant differences among settings and professional profiles in developing an EBCPs and, further, they suggest key lines of action for health services.
