Implication

Randomized clinical trial evaluates the effect of an educational intervention on EBP competencies, suggesting improvements in healthcare quality.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effect of a personalized educational intervention on evidence-based practice (EBP) competencies in healthcare professionals.
  • Conducted a randomized controlled trial with healthcare professionals at a private tertiary general hospital.
  • Participants were assigned to an intervention group receiving an EBP course or a control group.
  • The intervention included a seven-week course of three-hour weekly sessions, totaling 21 hours.
  • Competencies were assessed using the Assessing Competencies in Evidence-Based Medicine (ACE) and the Fresno Test.
  • The intervention group showed a statistically significant increase in general EBP knowledge, with a mean gain of 19.1%.
  • Improvements included a 10.8% increase in ACE scores and a 24.2% increase in Fresno Test scores in the intervention group.
  • No significant changes were found in the control group, highlighting the effectiveness of the educational intervention.
