“…Nearly similar results were obtained by Hassan et al (2014) in which 10% of participants attended critical appraisal courses (7). Our results were higher than that reported by Boulus et al (2013) in which only 4% attended critical appraisal courses (6). A relatively higher percentage was obtained by Ismail et al (2011) at 19.1% attending such courses (17).…”

“…This study indicated a generally positive attitude towards the current promotion of EBM. Boulus et al 2013found that 77.8% of participants had a positive attitude toward EBM (6). This was also similar to that reported by Abeysene et al (2012) in which 75.8% of the study participants had a positive attitude towards the current promotion of EBM (13), while studies by Barghouti et al (2009) indicated that 63.5% of participants were positive towards EBM (14).…”

“…This varied with results from Hassan et al (2014), which showed that only 29.1% of participants were aware (7). In addition, the studies conducted by Abd Al-Magied et al (2013) and Boulus et al (2013) reported that participants' awareness of clinical evidence websites were 30% and 31.6%, respectively (5,6). This can be attributed to the observation that our study participants had received training during both undergraduate and postgraduate curricula about EBM and its resources.…”

“…Over one half of participants (55.8%) attended courses in EBM. This differed from Hassan et al (2014) who reported only 18.2% of participants attending EBM courses (7), or Boulus et al (2013) at 7.2% (6). This could be explained by the younger age of the target group included in those studies, namely graduated residents with high workloads and thus little chance of attending courses, especially those not integral in their postgraduate study.…”

Aim: To assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of graduate physicians toward evidence-based medicine (EBM) and the barriers to the implementation of EBM worldwide. Methods:Relevant databases were searched systematically with appropriate search terms up to September 2017. References of the articles detected by the search were screened for any new articles. Risk of bias was assessed by two independent reviewers. Data were extracted from the full-text articles based on the study summary measures and were collected in a data table.Results: Fifty-seven articles were finally included in this systematic review. The studies were of variable and moderate quality. Based on our results, physicians have a generally positive attitude toward EBM and most of them believe that its implementation improves patient care. However, their self-reported awareness and knowledge regarding EBM concepts and the main databases are generally poor. The major barriers to the practice of EBM were related to patient overload and lack of personal time, knowledge, and skills rather than a lack of facilities and resources. However, this pattern varied among the studies. Most of the physicians in the included studies referred to their colleagues and textbooks to answer most of their clinical questions.Conclusion: Although many physicians have poor EBM knowledge and skills, the majority of them have a positive attitude toward the implication of EBM. To overcome the barriers against the evidence-based practice, it is recommended that appropriate policies be adopted to decrease physicians' workload and to provide them with preappraised evidence.

Background: Application of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) is widely growing as a tool for the best available evidence in decision making in the health care. Objective: This study aims to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of resident physician towards EBM and to compare theses aspects between residents in a Teaching and a General Hospital in the same city and to determine their educational needs for greater use of EBM in health care. Method: This cross-sectional study included 522 residents from two hospitals. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire addressing knowledge, attitudes & practices about EBM and to define the barriers to practice it. Results: In most aspects, the knowledge, attitude and practice of Mansoura University Hospital residents about EBM was significantly higher than that for Mansoura General Hospital Conclusions: Although there is a high positive attitude among physicians towards EBM, the knowledge and the practice of EBM is still defective.
