Abstract
Background: Nursing research is the key to building an evidence-based practice for nursing. It is a necessity for nursing students to be professionals and to be encouraged to conduct research.
Aims: This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a scientific research education program on the attitudes of nursing students towards research methods.
Design: A single group pre and post implementation study.
Methods: The sample was composed of the third-year nursing students (n = 196). A questionnaire, and the Scientific-Research-Methods-Course-Attitude-Scale (SRMC-AS) were used for the data collection. The intervention consisted of theoretical education, group discussions, and research project writing practices lead by the researchers.
Results: The difference between mean scores of the SRMC-AS baseline measurement (85.18 ± 9.09), 3rd month (91.20 ± 7.59), and 6th month (90.68 ± 11.16) was statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The scientific research education program was found effective about positively increasing the attitudes of the students towards the course.
