摘要

目的：批判性评估（CA）和研究方法论（RM）是循证牙科（EBD）的基本技能。本综述旨在总结现有的证据和经验，有关CA和RM教学的牙科学生和从业人员。数据来源：在PubMed， Embase， Web of Science和ERIC中进行了系统搜索，并辅以手工和引文搜索。研究选择：两位研究者独立进行文章选择和数据提取。数据分析：使用频率表和专题内容分析对数据进行分析。结果：共识别并纳入53篇文章，其中大部分（39/53,73.6%）为研究性研究，其余（14/53,26.4%）为叙述性文章。大多数研究（33/39,84.6%）为观察性研究，只有1项研究采用随机对照设计。大约五分之三（31/53,58.5%）的人关注EBD的广泛教学，将CA或RM作为教学内容的一部分。专业学位教育（DDS、DMD、BDS等）被描述的频率最高（38/53,71.7%），其次是研究生/住院教育（12/53,22.6%）、教师发展（6/53,11.3%）和继续教育（4/53,7.5%）。CA或RM的教学效果很少独立评估，大多数是短期的EBD综合技能评估。只有26.4%（14/53）提到教学评价，主要针对教学内容，以学生反馈为基础。结论：牙科CA或RM教育的研究以观察性为主，通常采用前后自我比较设计或非对照设计。关于CA和RM教学活动的长期效果及其对临床实践的影响，仍然缺乏证据。临床意义：通过CA和RM的教学，使牙科医生具备实施循证实践的基本技能，提高牙科护理质量。我们的研究结果表明，目前关于牙科CA和RM教学的证据是有限的。本综述为牙科课程的创新和继续教育的加强提供了参考，最终促进了循证牙科实践的发展。

Teaching critical appraisal and research methodology to dental students and practitioners: A scoping review

Objective

Critical appraisal (CA) and research methodology (RM) are essential skills for evidence-based dentistry (EBD). This scoping review aims to summarize the existing evidence and experience regarding the teaching of CA and RM to dental students and practitioners.

Data sources

A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and ERIC, supplemented with manual and citation searches.

Study selection

Two researchers performed article selection and data extraction independently.

Data analysis

Data were analysed using frequency tabulation and thematic content analysis.

Results

A total of 53 articles were identified and included, among which a majority (39/53, 73.6 %) were research studies, while the rest (14/53, 26.4 %) were narrative articles. Most of the research studies (33/39, 84.6 %) were observational, while only 1 used a randomized controlled design. About three-fifths (31/53, 58.5 %) focused on broad teaching of EBD, incorporating CA or RM as part of teaching content. Professional degree education (DDS, DMD, BDS, etc.) was described most frequently (38/53, 71.7 %), followed by postgraduate/resident education (12/53, 22.6 %), faculty development (6/53, 11.3 %), and continuing education (4/53, 7.5 %). The teaching outcomes of CA or RM were rarely assessed independently, and the majority assessed comprehensive EBD skills in the short term. Only 26.4 % (14/53) mentioned teaching evaluation, primarily about teaching content and based on student feedback.

Conclusions

Research on CA or RM education in dentistry is predominantly observational, which typically adopted before-and-after self-comparison designs or uncontrolled designs. There remains a lack of evidence regarding the long-term effects of CA and RM teaching activities and their influence on clinical practice.

Clinical Significance

Teaching CA and RM equips dental practitioners with essential skills to implement evidence-based practice and improve the quality of dental care. Our findings indicate that current evidence on CA and RM teaching in dentistry is limited. This review provides insights to inform dental curriculum innovation and continuing education enhancement, ultimately facilitating the advancement of evidence-based dental practice.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis. Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research. The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
