AIM: The research was conducted to determine nurses' attitudes toward evidence-based practices and the affecting factors. METHODS: This research was planned as descriptive and cross-sectional. The sample of the research consisted of 275 nurses actively working in a university hospital. A "Personal Information Form" and "Attitude Toward Evidence-Based Nursing Questionnaire" were used to collect the data. RESULTS: It was found that mean scores of the nurses were 67.856 +/- 7.754 for "total attitude toward evidence-based nursing," 32.530 +/- 3.617 for "beliefs and expectations toward evidence-based nursing," 17.383 +/- 2.711 for "evidence-based practice intention," and 17.944 +/- 3.039 for "feelings about evidence-based nursing." The total score of those who worked on shifts was 66.159 +/- 8.003. The total score of those who followed professional publications on the attitude toward evidence-based nursing questionnaire was 69.141 +/- 7.489. CONCLUSION: It was determined that nurses' attitudes toward evidence-based practices were positive, shift work reduced the attitude level, and following professional publications increased the attitude level.
