practices to improve quality of care and patient safety.
Target: Determine the mean score of the information sources used as evidence and the relationship
between the information sources and the general characteristics of the sample in applying evidence
to nursing practice.
Methods and materials: A descriptive cross-sectional study on 169 nurses with college degrees
or higher who are working at Quang Nam General Hospital from October 2020 to April 2021.
Information was collected through a self-completed questionnaire.
Results: The study showed that the information from colleagues and information sources belongs
to personal experience and has the highest average score of 4.02±0.46, and 3.94±0.4, respectively;
information from outside has a mean score of 3.64 ± 0.53. Information sources from hospital sources
were 3.42±0.47; Information sources from research evidence were reported with the lowest mean
score of 3.16±0.43. Found a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between education level and
using information sources from research evidence. Between age groups, personal experience with the
source of information belongs to personal experience.
