520 3 _aEvidence-Based practice (EBP) has been a professional expectation from nurses in the 21century health service arena. The plethora of literature indicates that nurses' interest in this standard of care is increasing globally. However, as the world acclaims its importance in various practice disciplines like nursing, the progress of EBP is slow and challenging in developing countries. Although efforts have been made to at least introduce EBP in the practice setting, little to no studies have been forwarded as to how valuable EBP is in the perspective of its direct implementers in the Philippine setting. Existing literature holds the absence of information about Filipino nurses' EBP beliefs, implementation and perceived competence. The purpose of this study is to assess the EBP beliefs, implementation and perceived competence of staff nurses practicing in the [locos region and to present an action plan that would enhance their belief, perceived competence and implementation of EBP. A sample size of 384 nurses was surveyed in this cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study. They were selected through simple random sampling in seven (7) different government and private training hospitals in the Ilocos Region. The EBP Beliefs Scale (EBPB), EBP Implementation Scale (EBPI) and the Capability Beliefs Regarding Evidence-Based Practice scale were employed to collect the data on the respondents' EBP Beliefs, Implementation and Perceived EBP Competence, respectively. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation; and inferential statistics such as Spearman rank correlation. , The respondents have no full commitment or belief to EBP but the possibility exists based on the mean total score computed at 58.57 (SD= 6.86) and scores ranging from 28 to 76 (with possible scores 16-80). The overall mean rating is reported at 3.63 (SD= 0.42) signifying that they "Agree" on the statements in the EBPB scale in general. On the EBP implementation, a low mean summative score of 28.06 (SD=l5.47) indicated that the respondents have implemented EBP between 1-3 but less than 4 times in the past eight (8) weeks. Raw scores ranged from I to 70 (possible scores of 0-72). The overall mean rating was calculated at 1.56 (SD= 0.21) suggestive that EBP is "Rarely implemented". A mean score across the six items of the Capability Beliefs Regarding Evidence-Based Practice Scale was computed at 3.46 (SD = 0.08) suggests that the respondents perceived themselves as "Good" in carrying out EBP process. A weak positive correlation existed between EBP Beliefs and EBP Implementation of the respondents (r,(382) = 0.252,p < 0.001); moderate positive correlation between the respondents' EBP beliefs and their perceived level of EBP competence (rs (382) = .413, p <0.001); and signifies a moderate positive correlation between EBP implementation and perceived level of EBP competence (r, (382) = .530,p <0.001). This study revealed that nurses in the locos region are positive about their knowledge of, confidence in and belief about EBP but are not fully committal to it. Also, they view themselves as having the desired skills in carrying out EBP activities that need to be mastered. However, in spite of having positive attitudes and perceiving themselves as competent, their implementation of EBP was rare or low. The study was able to elicit also that a positive correlation exist between and among EBP beliefs, EBP implementation and the respondents' perceived level of EBP competence. These data served as essential bases for developing strategies that would solidify the nurses' beliefs and perceived competence as well as improve their actualization of EBP as presented in the action plan.
