Abstract (summary)
The MacEwan BScN program supports development of
skills and attributes in the domain of clinical practice,
including information literacy (IL) interventions in Year 2.
Addressing a noticeable trend in 2018 of fewer students
making connections between IL and evidence-based
practice (EBP), librarians and instructors collaborated on
an IL redesign, integrating IL and EBP in a blended
learning (BL) context. The redesigned IL intervention,
which pulls from best practices in online EBP instruction
in nursing (Kelly et al., 2016), was implemented in 2019
with revised learning outcomes.
Literature on IL instruction and EBP learning points to
similarities, synergies, and value of a more fulsome
integration in teaching (Adams, 2012; Amit-Aharon et al.,
2020). While Adams (2012) emphasizes the importance of
teaching IL concepts through a disciplinary lens,
Amit-Aharon et al. (2020) note the significant positive
correlation between IL self-efficacy, EBP attitudes and
knowledge, and future EBP implementation in practice.
Purpose:
This Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) research
investigates the impact of the redesigned BL IL
intervention on YR 2 nursing students’ perceived EBP
confidence, attitudes, and ability, using an adapted
Student EBP Questionnaire (S-EBPQ) (Upton et al., 2016).
