Özet
Background: This study was conducted to determine the views of future midwives about the place of evidence-based practices in midwifery education and practice. Materials and Methods: This descriptive qualitative study was conducted with 28 student midwives who took the course of evidence-based practices in midwifery. Data were collected through in-depth and face-to-face interviews using an interview form. Content analysis technique was used to analyze the data. Results: Four themes and thirteen sub-themes were identified in the data analysis. These themes are belief in evidence-based practice, differences in education and practice, barriers to evidence-based practices and implementation of evidence-based practices. Conclusion: In the current study, students' awareness of evidence-based midwifery practices and their ability to offer opinions and suggestions are related to the fact that they have taken the evidence-based practices course in their education. In this sense, it is important to increase the knowledge, awareness and skills of midwives by integrating evidence-based practices in the education curricula of future midwives.
