About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Leadership and Work Environment in the Process of Integrating Evidence-based Practices in Surgical Clinics: A Multicenter Study
It is aimed to examine the leadership status and work environments of nurses working in surgical units during the integration of evidence-based practices into the institution.
Read the detailed description
The study will be conducted with 248 nurses working in surgical units of three centers in Aydın, Isparta and Burdur provinces. Before the data collection begins, nurses will be informed about the study. The study data will be collected by researchers through face-to-face interviews with nurses every weekday between 15:00-16:00, so that the daily operations of the nurses and the institution will not be affected. The purpose of the study will be explained to the nurses who will participate in the study and the nurses who volunteer to participate will be asked to fill out the form. The form will take approximately 15 minutes to fill out. The study will question the sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses, their leadership status in the process of integrating evidence-based practices into the clinic, and the work environment and influencing factors.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Leadership in Evidence-Based Practice
This is the first section of the scale and consists of 10 items. Scale items are scored using a 5-point Likert system ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 50 points are obtained from the scale. As the score obtained from the scale increases, it is interpreted that leadership in evidence-based practices increases.
Measured: Once between 01.10.2024 and 31.05.2025
Evidence-Based Practice Work Environment
This is the second part of the scale and consists of 8 items. Scale items are scored using a 5-point Likert system ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). A minimum of 8 and a maximum of 40 points are obtained from the scale. As the score obtained from the scale increases, it is interpreted that the working environment improves in evidence-based practices.
Measured: Once between 01.10.2024 and 31.05.2025
