Data was entered using EpiData version 4.6, and the collected data was cleared, arranged, coded, and then analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26. Descriptive statistics and bivariable and multivariable analyses of logistic regression with AOR (95% CI) were performed at . Result. The study revealed that 36.2% of health professionals had good evidence-based practice. The factors found to be significantly associated with good EBP include having training in EBP (; 95% CI: 4.323, 9.532), good knowledge (; 95% CI: 1.065, 3.541), a favorable attitude (; 95% CI: 1.884, 2.342), and work experience greater than 5 years (; 95% CI: 1.482, 2.437).
