dc.description.abstractEvidence-Based Nursing is imperative for high-quality care, but its implementation continues to face the know-do gap. While organizational barriers are often cited, the role of individual competencies, specifically Emotional Competence, in facilitating adoption remains underexplored on a large scale. This study aimed to analyze the association between perceived Emotional Competence, Evidence-Based Nursing adoption, and perceived attitudes and barriers in a nationwide sample of nurses registered with the Portuguese Order of Nurses. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted using a non-probabilistic sample of 3014 nurses registered with the Portuguese Order of Nurses. The Clinical Effectiveness and Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire, the Attitudes and Barriers Questionnaire, and the Emotional Competence Questionnaire were administered. Data were analyzed using bivariate correlations and a multivariable linear regression model. Results: Nurses reported high levels of perceived Emotional Competence (M = 204.7; SD = 20.3). In the multivariable regression model, Emotional Competence remained robustly and independently associated with Evidence-Based Nursing adoption (B = 0.315; p < 0.001), even after adjusting for sociodemographic and professional covariates. The perception of organizational barriers (e.g., time, incentives) did not correlate with adoption (rs = 0.011; p = 0.54). Conclusions: Perceived Emotional Competence is a significant and independent correlate of Evidence-Based Nursing adoption. The results suggest that developing socio-emotional skills, including emotional regulation, may be a relevant training target to support evidence implementation.por
