循证实践态度量表(EBPAS；Aarons，2004)是一个相对较新的结构，用于研究精神卫生服务环境中对采用创新和循证实践(EBPs)的态度。尽管人们普遍对在采用循证医学计划的同时衡量卫生保健提供者的态度感兴趣，但先前没有研究将EBPA用于医生，他们是与最初开发该量表时不同的人群。本研究以希腊14家医院的534名内科医生为样本，对EBPAS量表的结构、信度和效度进行了检验。此外，卫生保健提供者的特征(年龄、性别、医疗专业、信息和通信技术的使用和知识)与EBPAS总分的关联也被检验。验证性因素分析支持EBPAS的4因素结构，并为量表的效度提供了令人信服的证据。最后讨论了研究的意义和未来的发展方向。
The Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS; Aarons, 2004) is a relatively new construct for the study of attitudes toward the adoption of innovation and evidence-based practices (EBPs) in mental health service settings. Despite widespread interest in measuring the attitudes of health care providers in conjunction with the adoption of EBPs, no prior research has used the EBPAS with medical doctors, a different population than that with which the scale was originally developed. In the present study, the factor structure, reliability, and validity of EBPAS scores were tested with a sample of 534 medical doctors working in 14 Greek hospitals. In addition, associations of health care provider characteristics (age, gender, medical specialty, information and communication technology use and knowledge) with EBPAS total scores are examined. Confirmatory factor analyses support the 4-factor structure of the EBPAS and provide convincing evidence for the validity of the scale. Implications and future directions are discussed.
