q2 · i? · review · r3

Systematic review narrative synthesis of five theory-based studies; no meta-analysis was possible due to heterogeneity, so the conclusion is a narrative judgment. The review states interventions grounded in theory had "a small but positive effect on EBP attitudes".

"Of the included studies, interventions grounded in theory were found to have a small but positive effect on EBP attitudes."

Related Claims¶

• EBP attitude change depends on measurement timing: immediate post-test measures show no difference while longer-term measures show improvement
• A theory-based EBP intervention produced a small significant increase in EBP use but no significant difference in EBP future use
• The review found inconclusive evidence regarding the best time to introduce EBP teaching into the health curriculum — related
