    AimsAim of this study is to translate and apply a cross-cultural adaptation of the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS) in Turkish and investigate its validity and reliability.MethodsThe original EBPAS-15 (a questionnaire assessing health professionals' attitudes to implementation of evidence-based practice) was translated into Turkish. To assess its validity and reliability, 151 family medicine residents answered the EBPAS-15 by web-based survey. In addition, relationships of family medicine residents' characteristics with EBPAS-15 total scores are examined.ResultsThe results showed that the EBPAS-15 has good internal consistency and reliability. The Cronbach's alpha value for EBPAS-15 was 0.828. The scores of the two scales were highly correlated (ρ = 0.72). In the scale, there was no item with a total correlation value of less than 0.40. For this reason, no item was removed due to the high reliability value of all 15 items.ConclusionThe Turkish version of the EBPAS-15 shows mainly good validity and reliability.© 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
