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.
Participants: Seven hundred eighty PC active nurses in the National Health Service with at least one year of professional experience.
Main Measurements: (1) Sociodemographic, professional and access to scientific information variables; (2) outcome variable: EBP competency (attitude, knowledge, skills and utilization) assessed through the EBP-COQ Prof© questionnaire. Bivariate and multiple lineal regression analyses were carried out.
Results: The mean score for the EBP competency of the PC nurses was 131.5 (standard deviation [SD] 17.0), according to dimensions: attitude 36.8 (SD 3.6); knowledge 38.2 (SD 8.9); skills 23.0 (SD 3.5); and utilization 33.3 (SD 6.1). The number of articles read in the last month has showed the most influence on all the EBP-COQ Prof© dimensions, followed by EBP training (more than 150h) and nursing students mentoring. The education level (master, specialist and doctorate) is associated with knowledge and skills dimensions, meanwhile belonging to a BPSO® center is associated with the EBP utilization.
Conclusions: These findings can guide PC service managers to plan strategies that improve the EBP competency level of the nurses, aimed mainly at achieving real application in clinical practice. However, it is necessary to consider the possible impact of selection bias on the results.

Background: Youth involved in the legal system have disproportionately higher rates of problematic substance use than non-involved youth. Identifying and connecting legal-involved youth to substance use intervention is critical and relies on the connection between legal and behavioral health agencies, which may be facilitated by learning health systems (LHS). We analyzed the impact of an LHS intervention on youth legal and behavioral health personnel ratings of their cross-system collaboration.

Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation can improve healthcare safety and patient outcomes. The significant challenge for intensive care nurses is providing safe and evidence-based care to patients with complex illnesses who are at high risk of complications and death. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practice of EBP, and the perceived barriers to EBP implementation among nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) in the North West Bank hospitals.

Background: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) after an accidental dural puncture (ADP) is a common complication in obstetric analgesia. It has been proposed that inserting an intrathecal catheter (ITC) after an ADP may reduce PDPH incidence and the need for therapeutic epidural blood patch (EBP). Our primary objective was to assess if the insertion of an ITC after an ADP reduces the incidence of PDPH in obstetric patients.

Background: Despite the wealth of evidence-based practices attesting to the influence of patient dignity on the care relationship, gaps persist in healthcare professionals' abilities to bolster it. Promoting dignity-in-care poses a challenge due to the abstract nature of the concept and its lack of unequivocal definition.
Objective: To delineate the scope of training opportunities, identify gaps in dignity-in-care training, excluding the broader concept of dignity beyond healthcare assistance, and propose strategies to address these deficiencies.
