The 24\u2010item EBP Competency Scale was translated and culturally adapted following international guidelines. Content validity was assessed by a 16\u2010member expert panel, and 405 nurses completed the scale and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The sample was randomly split for exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and internal consistency, test\u2013retest reliability, and measurement invariance by prior EBP training were examined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Content validity indices were high (I\u2010CVI\u2009=\u20090.75\u20131.00; S\u2010CVI\u2009=\u20090.92).
