“…Despite ease and free of charge access to evidence-based resources, medical students in our university do not usually use these sources on a regular basis. Only a minority of respondents were aware of EBM resources, which were similar to some previous studies (26,27,30,32) but considerably lower than the rate reported in the other studies (14,18,21,25). Also, our study confirmed previous findings of low utilization of typical EBM information sources and frequent use of traditional sources (23,33,34).…”

BackgroundWe aimed to investigate whether students at German medical schools participating in elective courses on acupuncture and homeopathy differ from an unselected group of students regarding attitudes and personality traits.MethodsElective courses on acupuncture and homeopathy in the academic half-year 2013/14 all over Germany were identified and participants invited to fill in a questionnaire including nineteen questions on attitudes towards Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), orientation towards science, care and status orientation, and a short validated instrument (Big-Five-Inventory-10) to measure personality traits (extraversion, neuroticism, openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness). Participants of a mandatory family medicine course at one university served as unselected control group.ResultsTwo hundred twenty and 113 students from elective courses on acupuncture and homeopathy, respectively, and 315 control students participated (response rate 93%). Students participating in elective courses had much more positive attitudes towards CAM, somewhat lower science and status orientation, and somewhat higher care orientation than control group students (all p-values for three-group comparisons < 0.001). There were no differences between the three groups regarding personality traits with the exception of lower values for agreeableness in controls (p = 0.009).ConclusionsThe findings of this study show that attitudes of students participating in elective courses on acupuncture or homeopathy at German medical schools differ to a considerable degree from the attitudes of unselected students.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12906-017-1653-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Background Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is an essential component of modern medical practice and crucial for patient safety and high-quality healthcare services. The purpose of this study is to assess the factors associated with practicing EBM among medical interns in Amhara regional state teaching hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods An institution based cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to April, 2020. Simple random sampling with proportional allocation was used. A total of 403 medical interns were included in the study. The data were collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire. Data were coded and entered in to Epi info 8.1 then exported to and analyzed by using SPSS 20.1. Multivariable logistic regression analysis method was used to identify the factors associated with the practice of EBM. Results From the total of 403 medical interns, 48.4% had good practices towards EBM. EBM knowledge, attitude towards EBM, ability to critically appraise evidence and having sufficient time to search for evidence were the factors significantly associated with EBM practice. Conclusion Medical interns have limited practice of integrating scientific evidence in to clinical practice. There is a need to setup EBM journal club, which helps to increase awareness and use of evidence, as well as assist medical interns and other clinical staffs to ensure the correct application of EBM in to clinical practice.
