Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an important prerequisite for the provision of effective, efficient and personalised patient care. Universities must provide the educational foundation for students to enable them to implement the use of EBP in everyday practice. Hence, there is a need to evaluate students' learning and approach to EBP.
