الملخص EN

This study evaluated Kuwaiti clinical social workers’ orientation toward the evidence-based practice (EBP) process and investigated the variables associated with it.

A convenient sample of 300 clinical social workers was selected to participate in the study.

The findings showed a high overall level of orientation toward the EBP process.

The results showed that the female participants express more positive attitudes toward the EBP process than the male participants do.

In addition, social workers who are not recently graduated and who have years of practical experience in the field are more likely to adopt the EBP into their practice than the social workers who are recently graduated.

Moreover, the social workers who reported that they do not need to attend workshops on the EBP process were familiar with EBP and had more positive attitudes toward it than did those who reported that they need to attend workshops on the EBP process.
