ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim was to investigate if an extracurricular research skills development program builds the knowledge, attitudes, and skills (KAS) to support evidence-based practice (EBP).METHODS:
Twenty nursing students and six mentors in four teams completed small, student-led research projects over 1 year. Using a mixed-methods design, the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) survey was administered at three-time points, followed by qualitative interviews. A linear mixed-effects regression model was used to analyze survey data and thematic analysis for qualitative data.RESULTS:
The change from the KAP survey from the first to the third time point showed a statistically significant difference following engagement in the program. Qualitative data indicated benefits and challenges to participation for both students and mentors. Mentorship provided students with improved relationships, collaboration, and leadership skills. Students believed the program enhanced their understanding of research and reported increased confidence in using EBP.CONCLUSION:
Offering students innovative first-hand experiences with research develops research KAS to support EBP.Palavras-chave
