چکیده
Aim: The aim of the study was to determine Czech nursing and midwifery students’ perception of the effectiveness of evidence-based practice (EBP) courses. Another objective was to verify the psychometric properties of a Czech version of the Perception of Effectiveness of EBP Courses questionnaire. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Methods: The Czech version of the 13-item instrument was used. Data were collected from April 2013 to July 2013. The sample consisted of 119 students of nursing and midwifery. The reliability of the scale was measured by Cronbach’s alpha. The construct validity of the instrument was tested using factor analysis. Results: The participants strongly believed in the value of EBP for patient care, but were less confident regarding their own knowledge and skills needed for EBP. The average item mean of the instrument was 5.25 (on a scale from 1 – strongly disagree to 7 – strongly agree; higher scores meant higher effectiveness). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.915) confirmed a good internal consistency of the scale. The results of factor analysis identified three factors (subscales) of the instrument: satisfaction and behavioral changes; teaching; and EBP mastery. Conclusion: The Perception of Effectiveness of EBP Courses questionnaire showed satisfactory psychometric properties and may be used to assess Czech students’ perception of the effectiveness of EBP courses.

Kummer’s Original Type Congruence Relation for the Universal Bernoulli Numbers
The aim of this paper is to give a congruence on universal Bernoulli numbers which congruence is the same type of Kummer’s original paper [K]. The remakable thing is the index of prime power that is the modulus of the congruence is half of the original one. We mention in this paper that this estimate is best possible. It is suprising fact for the author that the critical index is not less than ...
متن کاملFormalization of Lemma for Adjacent Replacement Paths
This paper formalizes the proof of a lemma for adjacent replacement paths given in some paper so that one can verify it with a theorem prover such as HOL by just typing the content of this paper. The proof in the original paper is simplified by reorganizing case analysis. Several properties implicitly used in the original paper are explicitly stated and proved.
