ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Evidence-Based Practice is recognized as a standard practice and a core competence for clinical healthcare professionals and therefore educators' competences in teaching Evidence-Based Practice are essential. Yet only little is known about the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and teaching practices around Evidence-Based Practice among educators of Danish undergraduate healthcare students.

OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of this study were to describe 1) the Evidence-Based Practice profiles regarding attitudes, knowledge, skills, and teaching practices among educators who teach in undergraduate healthcare educations; 2) the current state of teaching Evidence-Based Practice in undergraduate program curricula; 3) the perceived barriers and facilitators to teach Evidence-Based Practice; and 4) the educators` needs regarding teaching Evidence-Based Practice. DESIGN, SETTING AND

PARTICIPANTS:

A cross-sectional survey using a self-administrated online questionnaire among 81 educators at University College South Denmark.

METHODS:

The survey covered 1) Demographic questions, 2) Educators Evidence-Based Practice profiles measured by the Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire for teachers, 3) perceived state of Evidence-Based Practice teaching 4) perceived barriers and facilitators and 5) educators´ needs for competence development regarding teaching Evidence-Based Practice.

RESULTS:

The translated version of the Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire showed that respondents had a mean of 3,6 regarding practicing Evidence-Based Practice when asked to rank on a scale of 1-7 (higher score indicating higher degree). The respondents showed positive attitudes towards Evidence-Based Practice and had a high self-perception of their Evidence-Based Practice skills and knowledge, scoring an overall average value of 5 on these items. In open ended questions educators gave a variety of examples of their Evidence-Based Practice teaching in terms of content, teaching methods and cooperation with clinical practice.

CONCLUSIONS:

Educators report limitations to teaching Evidence-Based Practice; however, attitudes, knowledge and skills were perceived generally high. Main facilitator was partnership with clinical practice and main barrier was time lack. MESH Evidence-Based Practice, Health Educators, Knowledge, Attitude.
