Result
The internal consistence of questionnaire was high ( Cronbach's alpha = 0.957-0.961). The Cronbach’s alpha of each subscale was 0.846-0.902. The result showed that the internal consistence of subscale was high. In addition, the internal consistence between English and Chinese version was similar. The average age of participant was 45.11 years old. The barriers of evidence-base nursing performance were “have enough time” (M=4.16,SD=0.685)and “Difficult to apply the research result” (M=4.02,SD=0.612).
