Abstract
Introduction/Objectives: To obtain data on the knowledge of evidence-based medicine among clinicians in China.
Methods: The subjects of the survey were 324 clinicians in Sichuan, China. The questionnaire included specialty of clinicians, stage of career, opinion of the effect on clinical evidence for clinical decisions and evaluation on the quality of systematic reviews.
Results: It was found that 0.9% of clinicians were told the evidence-based medicine. 85.2% of clinical decisions were made from text book, 3.6% were from senior colleagues, 11.2% were from journals. There was 64% of clinical decision among journals from clinical review. Only 10.2% of interviewee read English journals. These clinicians identified some barriers to obtaining useful clinically important information: They lacked the time necessary for read many journals, the textbooks were out of date, the journals were too disorganized to be useful.
Discussion: to disseminate evidence-based medicine in China and improve the quality of systematic reviews.
