Abstract

Evidence Based Practice (EBP) is now widely accepted worldwide as essential to delivering the highest standards of healthcare and achieving the best patient outcomes at the lowest cost. Professional organizations have established EBP as an essential element of quality care, setting EBP competency as a professional standard. Numerous studies have shown that current practice is often based on experience, tradition and intuition rather than evidence. Therefore, to enable the implementation of best evidence in practice, this study aims to develop interactive media in learning to improve nursing students^ EBP skills. Methods. An experimental research study was conducted by providing electronic-based learning media with problem-based learning method to improve EBP skills. The significance of this study is expected to contribute to exploring and developing methods of EBP implementation in nursing. This study provides various interactive media in medical-surgical nursing learning including e-modules, interactive quiz, and PBL with virtual simulation. The results showed that the average ability to implement EBP of students was 7.42 (scale 1-10) and the ability of clinical judgment was 7.72. Practically, the results of this study are expected to provide a design for an application-based/electronic EBP implementation model so that nurses in Indonesia can easily implement EBP.
