## Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the current situation of clinical nurses with regard to association standard evidence-based practice (EBP) of the Chinese Nursing Association, analyze the factors affecting clinical nurses in carrying out association standard EBP, and provide scientific basis for further improving the level of clinical nurse association standard EBP.

Design: An observational, cross-sectional study design.

Participants: A total of 225 nurses in the departments of neurology and neurosurgery of a tertiary hospital in the Jilin province of China.

Methods: The questionnaire survey was conducted using the general data questionnaire, the standard EBP cognition scale of clinical nurses, the standard EBP belief scale of clinical nurses, the standard EBP behavior scale of clinical nurses, and the organizational atmosphere scale of clinical nurses.

Results: Clinical nurse association standard EBP cognition score was 26.66 ± 5.22 points, belief score was 17.92 ± 3.50 points, and behavior score was 31.08 ± 5.10 points. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that organizational atmosphere was the main factor affecting the cognition of evidence-based nursing practice of clinical nurses (p < 0.05). Scientific research experience and organizational atmosphere were the main influencing factors of clinical nurses' belief in evidence-based nursing practice (p < 0.05). The degree of understanding of nursing association standards related to the department, cognition of association standard, and organizational atmosphere were the main influencing factors of clinical nurses' evidence-based nursing practice behavior (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: The study reveals that clinical nurses demonstrate high levels of cognition, belief, and behavior regarding association standard EBP. Key influencing factors include organizational atmosphere, scientific research experience, and understanding of association standards. Nursing managers should foster a supportive work environment, leverage research talents, and organize comprehensive training to enhance evidence-based nursing practice further.
