Objective. This study was to describe RNs' attitude, knowledge, and practice on evidence-based practice (EBP) in traditional Chinese nursing field and to estimate the related sociodemographic and professional factors. Methods. A multiple institutional cross-sectional survey design with self-reported EBP Questionnaire (EBPQ) and self-designed questionnaires were used. Results. The average scores of the total EBPQ were with a mean of 4.24 (SD = 0.79). The score of attitude was the highest one, followed by the knowledge score, and the lowest one is practice. RNs with longer experience reported stronger EBP knowledge (H = 6.64,P 0.05). And RNs under higher working pressure reported less positive attitudes (rho-0.17,P 0.001), whereas RNs holding negative professional attitude reported lower scores (Spearman's rho: 0.12 to 0.15,P. 0.001). Significant statistics were found between RNs with research experience and without in attitude (t= -2.40,P 0.05) and knowledge (t = -2.43,P 0.05). Conclusions. Respondents generally viewed EBP positively and their attitudes towards EBP tended to be more positive than knowledge and practice of EBP. Data also showed that longer working experience, having administrative position, research experience, lighter working load, and better professional attitude might facilitate EBP.
