Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? In one randomized waitlist-controlled trial, EBP beliefs improved (mean difference 8.75) and implementation self-efficacy improved (mean difference 13.06), both statistically significant. → Varpula Jaakko 2026 q2 i? In one study, evidence-based nursing practice showed a non-significant mean difference of 0.33 between baseline and post-intervention. → Varpula Jaakko 2026 (2)

Varpula Jaakko, Askola Riitta, Kahsay Desale Tewelde, Axelin Anna, Virtanen Laura, Maijala Riikka, Peltonen Laura‐Maria. (2026).

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1

Narratively summarized outcome from one study (Tucker et al. 2022) using the EBP Beliefs Scale; the review reports the unstandardized "mean difference of 8.75" with p < 0.0016. A separate ISE4EBP outcome showed a mean difference of 13.06 (2.84, 23.28, p < 0.0123). No standardized effect size printed.

"A mean difference of 8.75 (3.33, 14.17 95% CI, p < 0.0016) was found between baseline and post‐intervention."

Varpula Jaakko 2026 (2)¶

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1

Narratively summarized outcome from one study (Caramanica and Spiva 2018) using the Evidence-Based Nursing Practice Questionnaire; the review reports a "non‐significant mean difference of 0.33" with a confidence interval crossing zero. No standardized effect size printed.

"Evidence‐based nursing practice was assessed in one study using the Evidence‐Based Nursing Practice Questionnaire, which found a non‐significant mean difference of 0.33 (−0.11, 0.77 95% CI) between baseline and post‐intervention (Caramanica and Spiva 2018)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Self-Efficacy — outcome: instruction changes it

Educational interventions substantially improve nurse leaders' EBP competence (SMD = 1.76) — related
Educational interventions significantly improve nurse leaders' EBP implementation leadership (SMD = 0.74) — related
Educational interventions improve nurse leaders' EBP knowledge (SMD = 1.05) — related
Certainty of evidence for all outcomes was rated low due to serious risk of bias and heterogeneity — related
