Subclaims¶

q3 i? EBP Step 3 (critical appraisal) was the most frequently taught step (63 of 85 studies; 74%), followed by acquiring evidence (63%) and asking a clinical question (61%). → Albarqouni Loai 2018 q3 i? Only 10 of 85 studies (12%) taught content addressing all five EBP steps; about one-third covered only one step. → Albarqouni Loai 2018

q3 · i? · review · r2

Systematic review of 85 controlled studies of EBP educational interventions, with intervention content categorised into the five EBP steps. The review reports "EBP step 3 (critical appraisal of evidence) was the step taught most frequently" and that only 10 (12%) studies covered all five steps.

"EBP step 3 (critical appraisal of evidence) was the step taught most frequently in EBP educational interventions (n = 63; 74%), followed by step 2 (acquiring the evidence; n = 52; 63%) and step 1 (asking a clinical question; n = 51; 61%)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Few EBP intervention studies used high-quality instruments, and no high-quality instrument covers all five EBP steps
• Educational interventions significantly improve nurse leaders' EBP implementation leadership (SMD = 0.74) — related
• Interventions covered different steps of the EBP domains: research question, sources of evidence, evidence appraisal, and implementation into practice — a broader claim this one bears on
