Abstract：Objective To explore the relationship of nurses'evidence-based practice(EBP)competencies with head nurses'imple-mentation leadership,and the factors associated with nurses'EBP competencies.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Form,Evidence Based Practice Evaluation Competence Questionnaire(EBP-COQ)and Implementation Leadership Scale(ILS)among a convenience sample of 1 354 nurses from 7 tertiary hospitals,10 secondary hospitals,and 20 primary hospitals in Chongqing.Results The mean scores of nurses on the EBP-COQ and ILS were(91.61±13.20),and 36.00(24.00,48.00),respectively.The ILS score of head nurses was positively correlated with the EBP-COQ score of nurses(r=0.558,P＜0.01).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that hospital level,EBP training,literature reading habits,pieces of literature read,being proactive,being supportive and persistent leadership were independently associated with nurses'EBP competencies(P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of self-rated EBP competencies of nurses is high,but the nurse-rated implementation leadership level of head nurses is moderate and needs to be improved,and these two show a significant positive correlation.Nursing managers should provide adequate resources,training and policy support,and actively partici-pate in the implementation process to facilitate the sustainable development of EBP in nursing work.
