ABSTRACT
 Objective: The study aimed to examining nursing students' knowledge, skill and attitude competencies regarding evidencebased practices and the related factors affecting this. Material and Methods: The cross-sectional study's participants consisted of 445 student nurses from three government universities in the north of Türkiye in the academic year 2020-2021. Data were collected with ''Participant Information Form'' and ''Evidence-Based Practice Evaluation Competence Questionnaire'' from students via email or social media. Descriptive statistics, Pearson and Spearman correlation, t-test, Mann-Whitney U, analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to evaluate the data. Results: The total mean score of the nursing students on the Evidence-Based Practice Evaluation Competence Questionnaire was determined as 87.97±10.11, and the students' evidence-based practice competency was above a medium level. It was determined that the knowledge, skill and attitude sub-dimensions and total scale scores of the students who obtained information from the internet or books, from their colleagues or from their own experiences were high. It was found that most of the students thought that evidence-based practice would increase care quality, trust in the nursing profession, work satisfaction and professionalism, reduce clinical errors to a minimum and create a legal basis. Conclusion: It was established that nursing students had an above average level of knowledge, skill and attitude competencies regarding evidence-based practice. It was found that there was a relationship between students receiving training or information about evidence-based practices from anywhere and their knowledge, skills and attitude competencies. It is recommended that studies should be conducted aimed at developing students', who are future nurses, knowledge, skills and attitude on evidence-based practice competency.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin kanıta dayalı uygulamaya yönelik bilgi, beceri ve tutum yetkinliklerini ve bunları etkileyen ilişkili faktörleri incelemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipteki çalışmanın katılımcılarını, 2020-2021 eğitim-öğretim yılında Türkiye'nin kuzeyindeki üç devlet üniversitesinden 445 öğrenci hemşire oluşturdu. Veriler, öğrencilerden ''Katılımcı Bilgi Formu'' ve ''Kanıta Dayalı Uygulama Değerlendirme Yetkinliği Ölçeği'' ile e-posta veya sosyal medya aracılığıyla toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Pearson ve Spearman korelasyonu, t-testi, Mann-Whitney U, varyans analizi ve KruskalWallis testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin Kanıta Dayalı Uygulama Değerlendirme Yetkinliği Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 87,97±10,11 ile öğrencilerinin orta düzeyin üzerinde kanıta dayalı uygulamaya yetkinliğine sahip oldukları belirlendi. İnternetten veya kitaplardan bilgi almış olan, meslektaşlarından ya da kendi deneyimlerinden faydalanan öğrencilerin bilgi, beceri ve tutum alt boyutları ile toplam ölçek puanlarının yüksek olduğu saptandı. Öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğu kanıt temelli hemşirelik uygulamalarının; bakım kalitesini, hemşirelik mesleğine olan güveni, iş doyumunu ve profesyonelleşmeyi artıracağını, klinik hataların en aza indirilmesini ve yasal dayanak oluşturacağını düşündükleri belirlendi. Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin kanıta dayalı uygulamaya ilişkin bilgi, beceri ve tutum yeterliliklerinin ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu belirlendi. Kanıta dayalı uygulamalara ilişkin herhangi bir yerden eğitim veya bilgi alan öğrencilerin bilgi, beceri ve tutum yeterlilikleri arasında bir ilişki olduğu bulundu. Geleceğin hemşireleri olan öğrencilerin kanıta dayalı uygulamaya yeterliliğine ilişkin bilgi, beceri ve tutumlarını geliştirmeye yönelik çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
