Abstract：Objective To understand the status of implementation leadership of head nurses,evidence-based practice(EBP)work environment and EBP beliefs of nurses in pediatric oncology-related departments,and examine the mediation effect of EBP work environment on the association between the two formers.Methods Nurses from pediatric oncology-related departments in 20 grade A tertiary hospitals in Guangdong province were selected and surveyed using general information questionnaire,Implementation Leadership Scale(ILS),EBP Work Environment Scale(EBPWES)and EBP Belief Scale(EBPBS).Results The median scores of nurses on ILS,EBPWES,and EBPBS were 2.46(1.98,3.25),29.00(24.00,32.00)and 3.44(3.13,3.75),respectively,and they were positively correlated with each other(P＜0.001).EBP work environment acted as a partial mediator between implementation leadership of head nurses and nurses'EBP beliefs,and its effect size accounted for 35.08%of the total effect.Conclusion In pediatric oncology-related departments,the implementation leadership of head nurses can directly forecast nurses'EBP beliefs,and the association between them is partially mediated by EBP work environment.So impro-ving EBP work environment is beneficial to enhancing nurses'EBP beliefs.
