Evidence-based practice (EBP) prevents unsafety/inefficiency and improves healthcare quality. However, EBP implementation and sustainment are challenging for healthcare organizations and providers considering gaps between research and practice. An educational preparation of the future healthcare professionals can minimize these gaps. Thus, it is mandatory that undergraduate curricula in health sciences, namely in nursing, promote an EBP culture so that future health professionals use it into clinical practice. Within the Portuguese context, there is no available scientific literature about the current state of EBP integration in the undergraduate nursing curricula. Thereby, the investigators intend to verify if an EBP educational programme would be successful in improving the undergraduate nursing students' EBP knowledge and beliefs and, and the extent of their EBP implementation This will be tested using a prospective cluster randomized control trial with two-armed parallel group design.
