Abstract

BACKGROUND Evidence-based practice (EBP) training is essential for undergraduate students in making sound clinical decisions during patient care. However, EBP training is not included in the curriculum of undergraduate dental students in India and there is a dearth of research that assessed the effectiveness of EBP training in India. Hence, this study aimed to assess the effectiveness of EBP training to dental undergraduate students. METHODS Final year undergraduate students and interns of a dental institution participated in this pre and postexperimental study. All the participants received a 2-day workshop (didactic lectures, hands-on and group activities) in a classroom setting. A validated 35 item instrument titled EBP Knowledge, Attitudes, Access and Confidence questionnaire was used for the outcome assessment of EBP training. RESULTS Fifty undergraduate students (33 interns and 17 final year) participated in the study. Statistically significant improvement was observed in six out of 10 items related to EBP knowledge. All the items related to attitude showed a significant positive change in scores. Only four out of nine items related to accessing evidence showed a statistically significant change. Participants reported moderate confidence gain in critical appraisal skills. CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated moderate improvement in the effectiveness of EBP training in improving EBP knowledge, accessing evidence and critical appraisal skills.

训练对牙科本科学生循证实践的影响:实验前后研究。

背景基于证据的实践(EBP)训练对于本科生在病人护理过程中做出合理的临床决策至关重要。然而，在印度，EBP培训并不包括在本科牙科学生的课程中，并且缺乏评估印度EBP培训有效性的研究。因此，本研究旨在评估EBP训练对牙科本科学生的效果。方法某牙科院校大四本科生和实习生参与实验前后研究。所有参与者都在教室里接受了为期两天的研讨会(教学讲座，实践和小组活动)。采用经验证的35项EBP知识、态度、获取和信心问卷进行EBP培训效果评估。结果50名本科生(实习33名，大四17名)参与了本研究。在与EBP知识相关的10个项目中，有6个项目有统计学上的显著改善。所有与态度相关的项目得分都出现了显著的正变化。与获取证据有关的9项中只有4项显示出统计上显著的变化。参与者报告说，他们在关键的评估技能上有了适度的信心增长。结论本研究显示，EBP培训在提高EBP知识、获取证据和批判性评估技能方面的有效性有适度提高。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare is the official journal of the Joanna Briggs Institute. It is a fully refereed journal that publishes manuscripts relating to evidence-based medicine and evidence-based practice. It publishes papers containing reliable evidence to assist health professionals in their evaluation and decision-making, and to inform health professionals, students and researchers of outcomes, debates and developments in evidence-based medicine and healthcare. The journal provides a unique home for publication of systematic reviews (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, economic, scoping and prevalence) and implementation projects including the synthesis, transfer and utilisation of evidence in clinical practice. Original scholarly work relating to the synthesis (translation science), transfer (distribution) and utilization (implementation science and evaluation) of evidence to inform multidisciplinary healthcare practice is considered for publication. The journal also publishes original scholarly commentary pieces relating to the generation and synthesis of evidence for practice and quality improvement, the use and evaluation of evidence in practice, and the process of conducting systematic reviews (methodology) which covers quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, economic, scoping and prevalence methods. In addition, the journal’s content includes implementation projects including the transfer and utilisation of evidence in clinical practice as well as providing a forum for the debate of issues surrounding evidence-based healthcare.
