Summary
Clinical residents have a positive attitude towards Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) but lack sufficient knowledge and skills. Time constraints are the primary barrier to EBM practice.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Clinical Practice Research
Background:
- Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) integrates research and clinical experience for optimal patient care.
- Assessing EBM adoption among healthcare professionals is crucial for improving medical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the awareness, attitudes, and practices of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) among clinical residents.
- To identify the key barriers hindering the implementation of EBM in clinical settings.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 81 clinical residents at Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences teaching hospitals.
- Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS software.
Main Results:
- Respondents demonstrated a positive attitude towards EBM but exhibited low levels of knowledge and skills.
- Familiarity with evidence-based resources was limited, primarily to PubMed and Google Scholar.
- Lack of time was identified as the most significant barrier to practicing EBM.
Conclusions:
- While residents hold favorable views of EBM, a gap exists in their knowledge and practical application.
- Implementing training initiatives such as journal clubs and workshops is recommended to enhance EBM competency.

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...
