Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the Spanish Evidence-Based Practice Confidence (EPIC) scale in occupational therapy students and professionals
The EPIC scale showed excellent internal consistency, strong test-retest reliability, and adequate construct validity for evaluating EBP self-efficacy among Spanish-speaking OT professionals using the total score. However, test-retest reliability was moderate among Spanish-speaking OT students, indicating that changes in EBP confidence assessed with the EPIC scale in this group should be interpreted with caution.
