The availability of evidence-based practice competency tools evaluating nurses' knowledge, skills attitudes and adoption in the context of Indonesian nursing practice are limited. A valid tool in EBP that measures nurses' self-perceived competency in knowledge, skills, attitudes, and utilization was used in this study for translation and psychometric validation.
The content validity of the questionnaire at the item level showed a range between 0.81 and 1.0 and at the scale level was 0.95. The construct validity was conducted using confirmatory factor analysis which showed RMSEA value was 0.109 (average/mediocre fit), CFI value = 0.981 (fit), TLI value 0.979 (fit), Bentler - Bonett Normed Fit Index (NFI) = 0.967 (fit) after removing an item which had similar meanings in the Bahasa version. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using Cronbach's alpha was calculated as 0.94, indicating excellent reliability.
