Abstract

Although evidence-based practice provides the best diagnosis and treatment decisions for patients, there is no relevant theoretical basis for designing an evidence-based practice curriculum for medical students. Also, no study has been conducted to investigate the attitude and behaviour of evidence-based practice among resident doctors in China. Therefore, this study aims to identify the beliefs and implementation of evidence-based practice among registered resident doctors in Lianyungang First People's Hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to recruit 257 participants conveniently. Beliefs about the evidence-based practice was evaluated using the Evidence-Based Practice Beliefs scale. In addition, the implementation of Evidence-Based Practice was evaluated using the Evidence-Based Practice Implementation scale. Participants' rate of evidence-based practice was 71.60%. Cronbach's alpha was more than 0.90 for each scale. Participants who had learned about evidence-based medicine gave significantly higher scores on the Evidence-Based Practice Beliefs scale and Evidence-Based Practice Implementation scale than those who did not. This study demonstrates that resident doctors develop a positive attitude towards evidence-based practice but exercise it to a lesser extent. Integrating the theory course of evidence-based medicine at the undergraduate level with the practice course at the standardized training stage is crucial to improving their practice, aiming to enhance that patients receive the best available care based on high-quality evidence.
