“…In two previous studies carried out among Iranian SLPs, Tahmasebifard et al (16) and Tohidast et al (15) mentioned that Iranian SLPs had positive attitudes toward EBP. These results are similar to other studies carried out among other healthcare professionals, such as nurses, physicians, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists (20,21).…”

“…Given that the mean score of Iranian SLPs participating in this study was higher than 33; therefore, the present study showed that SLPs in Iran had positive and favorable attitudes toward EBP. Through the studies on SLPs, similar findings were reported in previous studies regarding attitudes toward EBP (2,16,17,(20)(21)(22)(23). For example, Zipoli and Kennedy (13) reported that SLPs, as members of the ASHA, had positive attitudes toward EBP, but they were more dependent on traditional sources for decision making than evidence-based sources.…”

Background: Despite the great need and significance for documentation of knowledge, attitudes, and practice of speech and language pathologists (SLPs) about evidence-based practice (EBP), few studies have been performed in this field among SLPs, especially Iranian SLPs. Objectives: The present study aimed at investigating the knowledge, attitude, and practice of Iranian SLPs toward EBP. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from October to December 2019, in Iran. A valid and reliable self-administrated questionnaire (The Speech and Language Pathology Evidence-Based Practice questionnaire (SLP-EBPQ)) was used to evaluate the attitude, knowledge, and the use of evidence sections of SLP-EBPQ among 600 Iranian SLPs. Results: Four hundred twenty-two out of 600 questionnaires were returned. The mean figure of the knowledge score of the SLPs was 3.85 (± 2.8), while SLPs with postgraduate degrees scored higher in the knowledge section than those with an undergraduate degree (P < 0.001). The mean figure of the attitude score of the SLPs was 46.97 (± 4.55). Conclusions: The findings of the present study showed that SLPs in Iran have positive and favorable attitudes toward EBP with an effective application. Our findings also showed that EBP knowledge is not very comprehensive among SLPs; however, the postgraduate SLPs presented a higher EBP compared with the undergraduate SLPs.

“…Moreover, more than half of the members were completely unaware of the Cochrane Library (28). According to multiple studies, the low level of knowledge among dental students opposes strong attitudes and limits the clinical use of the EBD approach (27,28,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36).…”

“…The results of a study conducted on residents in various medical fields indicated that 53% of the residents, who were well acquainted with EBD, were also able to apply this approach in different treatments. Furthermore, classroom-based practice and workshops were referred to as methods leading to the widespread adoption of EBD (32). The results of another study also revealed that 82% of the medical residents of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran, had high attitude levels in this regard (38).…”

Background: The use of evidence-based dentistry (EBD) as the integration of investigations and clinical decisions has been a focus of attention in recent years. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of EBD among Iranian dentists in 2019. Methods: A total of 140 self-administered questionnaires with 57 items were distributed among dentists in the 2019 exhibition of Iranian dentists. Moreover, 60 self- administered questionnaires were sent to five different dentistry schools in Iran. The analyses were carried out using the Chi-square test, independent samples t-test, and Pearson correlation. Results: A total of 119 fully-responded self-administered questionnaires were analyzed in this study. The dentists attending EBD workshops obtained significantly higher scores of knowledge. The Cochrane Library, manufacturer’s brochures, and evidence-based guidelines were used the least for clinical decisions. Consultation with colleagues, use of textbooks, and personal judgment were mostly utilized for clinical decisions. In addition, 93.3% of the participants stated sensible uncertainties in their clinical decisions. The most important barriers to EBD were the need for long discussions with patients, lack of skills in the critical appraisal of articles, and lack of motivation in dentists with the incidence rates of 62.2%, 62.2%, and 39.5%, respectively. Conclusions: Due to the low levels of EBD knowledge among Iranian dentists, it is recommended to give further close attention to increasing the knowledge in this regard. However, their high enthusiasm for participation in EBD workshops and enhancement of EBD skills is promising.

“…Its principles are not always easily applicable because of barriers such as misinterpretation of literature, lack of training and time to access evidence-based resources and the attitude of the physicians themselves [4,9]. Several studies pointed out that the major barriers were lack of time and skills [4,7,10,11,12].…”

Background: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a term that has acquired different definitions in different settings and is considered as an ambiguous concept. However, it represents an empiricist mode of thinking in medicine. EBM is a patient-centered approach in medicine and bases clinical knowledge on evidence as well as having a huge impact on clinical practice during the past few decades.Aim: The study aimed to evaluate medical resident trainees’ attitude, knowledge, and practice of EBM and encountered barriers in clinical settings to determine the relationship between trainees at different levels and departments and implications on patient care.Methods: A cross sectional survey conducted between June 2022 till December 2022, utilizing face-to-face and online questionnaire. Our questionnaire consisted of 37 questions which include characteristics of the sample in addition to attitudes related to EBM and perceptions of barriers related to it. Inclusion criteria were residents working at Jordan University Hospital with a total of 175 residents who agreed to participate in this study, and exclusion criteria were other medical assistant members and fellows.Results: A survey was distributed to 175 residents, who completed it and provided information on their sociodemographic. Approximately 72.6 percent of the participants were females (n = 127), and the median age was 27 years and an interquartile range of 2 years. The majority of participants (n = 171, 97.7%) stated that they had heard the term "evidence-based medicine" before. When asked about the residents' knowledge of various research-related terms, their answers showed a positive trend, with the majority indicating that they had some understanding of the term. The remaining findings are covered below.Conclusion: Despite having received no formal training in this area during their years of training, JUH residents demonstrated positive views regarding EBM, supporting it, and believing in its conclusions. They also generally had good terminology knowledge. More than 85% utilize medical websites, more than 50% have papers published, and more than 50% endorse EBM.
