Article Abstract

With evidence-based practice (EBP) as an expected core competency for all health care professionals and the integration of EBP competencies in nursing curricula, the process of translating EBP knowledge to EBP implementation behaviors among graduating baccalaureate nursing students was examined. A sample of 174 students in four states participated in this online survey. Results showed students scored low on their EBP knowledge test and engagement in EBP implementation behaviors. However, students were moderately confident in their EBP readiness. EBP readiness was a significant mediator between knowledge and engagement in implementation behaviors. Nursing education should focus on increasing students' self-confidence in their EBP competencies to support engagement in EBP implementation behaviors. A nursing workforce ready to deliver care using an evidence-based approach has the potential of improving patient outcomes.

Background: Over the past decade, calls for research assessment reform have grown, led by initiatives such as the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and the Leiden Manifesto, and, more recently, the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA). A key element being discussed as part of research assessment reform is a shift towards more qualitative assessments, focussed on the content of research and the broad skills and competencies of researchers, and the array of contributions they make to knowledge creation and innovation. Narrative CV formats have emerged as a good practice example for enabling qualitative assessments of research projects and researchers, and are becoming more widely piloted and implemented.

The global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a profound threat to human, animal and environmental health. Although antimicrobials have revolutionized modern medicine, their overuse and misuse have accelerated AMR, necessitating urgent, multisectoral action. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), a set of coordinated strategies that promote responsible antimicrobial use, has emerged as a key intervention in managing AMR.
