Cochrane, evidence-based medicine and associated factors: A cross-sectional study of the experiences and knowledge of Ethiopian specialists in training

Abstract:

Introduction Evidence-based healthcare is a core competency for practicing healthcare practitioners and those in speciality training. In sub-Saharan Africa, little is known about the teaching of evidence-based medicine (EBM) in residency program. This survey evaluated the experiences and knowledge of Cochrane, EBM and associated factors among Ethiopian specialists in training. Methods A convenient sample of trainee specialists completed a pretested self-administered survey. The majority (93%) were ≤30\u202fyears old, males (63%) and 41% in paediatrics speciality. The associations of categorical variables with EBM knowledge was assessed by Fisher’s exact or Chi-Square tests. Covariates contributing to EBM knowledge were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Eighty-three trainees participated in the survey (response rate 88.2%). About 75% have heard about Cochrane but no one recognized Cochrane South Africa. Only 25% of the trainees knew the Cochrane Library but none used it in clinical practice. Most (78%) have heard of EBM, 15% had attended EBM course, 96% wanted to attend EBM course and 81% had positive attitudes to EBM. Trainees EBM knowledge was associated with awareness of Cochrane [Adjusted odds ratio (AOR)\u202f=\u202f8.5, 95% Confidence interval (CI) 1.3–54.6, P\u202f=\u202f0.02], EBM (AOR\u202f=\u202f51.2, 95% CI 2.7–960.8, P\u202f=\u202f0.009), and being in third year training (AOR\u202f=\u202f28.4, 95% CI 1.9–427.2, P\u202f=\u202f0.02). The promotion of EBM in residency hospital (AOR\u202f=\u202f22.2, 95% CI 2.2–223.8, P\u202f=\u202f0.008) and being aware of Cochrane (AOR\u202f=\u202f4.8, 95% CI 1.1–21.7, P\u202f=\u202f0.04) were predictors of positive attitude. Familiarity with Cochrane Library was influenced by EBM knowledge (AOR\u202f=\u202f6.6, 95% CI 1.4–31.5, P\u202f=\u202f0.02) and perceived organization barrier to accessing the resource (AOR\u202f=\u202f3.2, 95% CI 1.03–10.1, P\u202f=\u202f0.04). Conclusion Ethiopian trainee specialists lacked formal EBM training, awareness and use of the Cochrane Library. To improve the healthcare quality and patient outcomes, EBM education should be integrated into residency curricula.
