The relationship between evidence-based practices' facilitators and barriers among nurses and their competencies: self-efficacy as a mediator.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough evidence-based practices are crucial for enhancing nursing abilities and patient outcomes, many nurses encounter barriers and facilitators that limit their capacity to effectively apply evidence-based practices. Self-efficacy is crucial to how nurses view and overcome these challenges.
aimThis study aimed to examine the relationship between evidence-based practice facilitators and barriers and nurses' competencies, with a specific focus on self-efficacy as a mediating factor.
designA correlational descriptive design was used. METHODS AND TOOLS: A stratified random sampling of 350 nurses provided data for the study using structured questionnaires that assessed evidence-based practice facilitators, barriers, nurses' self-efficacy, and competencies.
resultsThe strongest positive correlation was observed between practice competency and Knowledge (r = 0.903, p < 0.001), skills (r = 0.903, p < 0.001), and utilization (r = 0.921, p < 0.001). On the other hand, EBP barriers show significant negative correlations with attitude (r = -0.140, p = 0.009), knowledge (r = -0.114, p = 0.032), and skills (r = -0.198, p < 0.001).
conclusionThe findings of this study highlight a significant mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between evidence-based practice facilitators, barriers, and nurses' competencies. NURSING IMPLICATIONS: The results of this study demonstrate how critical it is to support nurses' self-efficacy to help them overcome obstacles and improve their capacity to apply evidence-based practices, which will ultimately improve nursing competence and patient care. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
