Sammanfattning
It is required that faculty in nursing education prepares students to work evidence-based (EBP).
The purposes of this study are to identify teachers’ beliefs towards EBP and to describe what the
faculty identify as their specific learning needs to teach EBP. Data were collected from teachers at a
University College in Norway by use of questionnaires and focus group interviews. Descriptive
statistics were used to analyze the questionnaires and thematic content analysis for the focus group
interviews. The teachers have positive beliefs towards EBP and their central learning needs were
searching the literature, critical appraisal and application. They have knowledge in basic
methodology, but need more knowledge of epidemiological and summarized research. Teaching and
training in all six stages of EBP is important for teachers to develop their knowledge of EBP.
Qualitative and quantitative methods in combination, works well to identify teachers’ specific needs
for new knowledge.
