DescriptionPurpose of Study:
The purpose of this study was to collect information on bedside nurses' attitudes and beliefs about EBP, conduct an educational session on EBP via an e-learning program, and then determine if there was a change in attitude and beliefs about EBP.

Methdology:
All the bedside nurses who participated in this randomized controlled study completed the EBP Beliefs Scale. (This scale served as the pre- and post-test). Nurses were then randomized to a control group, Arm 1 (one-page brochure on EBP) and the experimental group, Arm 2 (an educational session on EBP) via an e-learnin program called Talent Manager. A post-test using the same EBP Beliefs Scale was again completed by all nurses.

Results:
Study findings did not show that an educational session on an e-learning program was significantly effective in changing bedside nurses' attitudes and beliefs about EBP as compared to a one-page brochure. Overall, nurses had a positive attitude toward EBP.

Implications for Practice:
The educational session on EBP can be included in the annual review required for all nurses at the hospital where the research was conducted. It can serve as a reminder to the nurses to continue their implementation of EBP in daily practice. The educational session guides the nurses through the EBP process. It provided information to the nurses on how to develop a focused clinical question using the PICO framework, identify and search electronic databases, select appropriate studies for the best evidence, analyze a research article, and determine its level of evidence and methodological quality.
