Abstract
AIM: To explore nurses' perceptions of evidence-based nursing courses for undergraduates through academic-practice partnerships. DESIGN: A deductive thematic analysis based on the practice-academic logic model. METHODS: Fifteen academic and clinical nurses were interviewed between November and December 2023, either online or through face-to-face meetings. Each interview lasted 20-30 min. The interview outline was constructed based on the practice-academic partnership logic model, which was followed during the process of recorded, analyzed, and checked. RESULTS: Themes identified include inputs (e.g., stakeholder commitment), activities (e.g., communication), outputs (e.g., nursing projects), and outcomes (e.g., improved competence). These themes highlight the various aspects and outcomes of academic-practice partnerships in evidence-based nursing courses. CONCLUSION: Effective academic-practice partnerships are crucial for developing evidence-based nursing courses, leading to positive educational and professional outcomes. IMPACT: Nurses' perceptions provide valuable guidelines for developing effective evidence-based nursing courses. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public users participated in this study.
