Background: Online learning is becoming increasingly essential for health professionals, and it is necessary to understand how this modality affects clinical nurses' learning of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). For this reason, the present study sought to assess the effectiveness of an online training program in improving nurses' EBP competence.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design was conducted with a control group and without randomization for a period of 6 months.
Objective: Adaptation and validation of the BTI-St© to assess the level of competence in brief tobacco intervention in general practitioners and nurses in Primary Health Care.
Design: Cross-sectional study of adaptation and psychometric validation of a criterion-referenced test.
Setting: Primary Health Care.
Objective: To describe the Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) competency level in Primary Care (PC) nurses in Spain and to determine the associated factors.
Design: Cross-sectional, national survey design, carried out between January and March 2020.
Setting: PC in Spain.
Aims: To discover the level of evidence-based practice competency of Spanish nurses, to develop a scale of the EBP-COQ-Prof© and to analyse the influence of different variables on the level of competency.
Background: The evidence-based practice competency has previously been assessed using a wide variety of instruments, although these have methodological limitations and lack associated scales that allow for the interpretation of the score obtained.
Method: Observational, cross-sectional, national study.
Background: The availability of valid and reliable instruments, based on current competency frameworks, is essential to respond to the need for accurate measurement of the competency of registered nurses in evidence-based practice (EBP).
Aims: To develop and validate a questionnaire capable of measuring EBP competencies in registered nurses following the competency framework developed by Melynk et al. (2014).
The socio-demographic and epidemiological changes of our environment are characterized by an increase in aging, chronic illness, comorbidities and with it, a progressive escalation of the demand for care. These new demands and expectations of citizenship are accompanied by an evolution of health systems (technological advances, complexity of the healthcare network, limited resources), the need to develop new roles and competence in care, together with the opportunity that full academic development implies: Nursing undergraduate and posgraduate degrees. This is why, at present, it is necessary to reorient care models in order to achieve health care for more agile, efficient and better quality care processes, adapted to the needs and expectations of citizens and to the sustainability of health systems.

However, few studies have addressed the effectiveness of educational interventions to improve their competence.
Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of a brief basic online and face-to-face educational intervention to promote EBP attitudes, knowledge and skills, and practice in clinical care nurses.
Objective: To know the expectations and user experiences of older Roma women with health services in primary care (PC).
Design: Phenomenological qualitative study. Using focus groups (4-9 women/group) and semistructured interviews.
Objective: To determine the attitudes of physicians and registered nurses in the Andalusian Public Health System towards preventive and health promotion (PHP) interventions in the context of Primary Health Care and the relationship with occupational variables and self-reported competence in PHP.
Design: Multicenter, observational, descriptive study.
Location: Primary Health Care (PHC), Andalusia, Spain.
Objective: To develop and validate a questionnaire to measure attitudes towards prevention and health promotion.
Design: Cross-sectional study for the validation of a questionnaire.
Location: Primary Health Care (autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain).
The health assets model is a field of work that has protective effects on children associated with the protection, safety, and to their well being. This assets model is complementary, to the deficit model, which is often absent. From this point of view, we present the case of a 4 year old who was healthy and for whom a series of activities were designed with parents as primary implementers and directed primarily to the maintenance of health and child welfare.

Method: Reliability study. 12 experienced nurses were paired (community and hospital) to use this nursing outcome questionnaire to assess health service users.
