Brief summary: This clinical trial aims to develop an online education program and an educational booklet for nurses on EBP and to compare the evidence-based competencies and clinical decision-making levels of nurses trained with these two methods.

Hypotheses of the Study Ho: There is no statistically significant difference between the nurses' competency levels who participated in the online education developed for evidence-based practices and those who were informed of the educational booklet.

H1. The nurses' competency levels who participated in the online education developed for evidence-based practices are statistically higher than those who were informed of the educational booklet.

Ho: There is no statistically significant difference between the clinical decision-making levels of nurses who participated in the online education developed for evidence-based practices and nurses who were informed with the educational booklet.

H1: The clinical decision-making levels of the nurses who participated in the online education developed for evidence-based practices are statistically higher than those informed with the educational booklet.

Participants will:

The nurses in the intervention group are expected to fill in the data collection tools (Introductory Information Form for Nurses, Evidence-Based Practice Competency Scale, Clinical Decision Making Scale in Nursing) before the education and then participate in the education about evidence-based practices on the online platform and fill in the data collection tools (Evidence-Based Practice Competency Scale, Clinical Decision Making Scale in Nursing and Education Evaluation Form) 20 days after the education.

The nurses in the control group were expected to complete the data collection tools (Introductory Information Form for Nurses, Evidence-Based Practice Competency Scale, Clinical Decision Making Scale in Nursing) before the education booklet was given and 20 days after the education.

Detailed description: One of the specific highlights of this project is that nurses' competencies and clinical decision-making skills can be increased with an education program developed for EBP. In addition, the online education design of the education program in this project will facilitate the integration of education into orientation programs and in-service training for nurses working in institutions where healthcare services are provided. At the same time, the fact that the education program has an online design and consists of an online education that includes modules compatible with smartphones without time and space restrictions shows the original value of the study. Therefore, this study aims to develop an innovative and generalizable online education program for nurses at EBP, contribute to the literature, and indirectly reduce the cost of care and contribute to safe patient care.
