Abstract Background: Evidence-based practice is competency required by librarians to provide quality services in today’s rapidly growing world of information. This study aimed to instructional desianing and implementing of an evidence-based information management and practice course based on ADDIE Model.Methods: This action research was conducted based on ADDIE Model in 2019 in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. The Analysis,Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation was performed accordingly. The course was offered virtually through the Learning Mangement System of one of the top ranked universities in Iran. course evalouation was done based on Kirkpatrick’s model. A Likert-based satisfaction evaluation questionnaire was developed, which included three open-ended questions about strengths and weaknesses of the course and an open-end question for recommendations. After psychometric analysis, the questionnaires were distributed among the participants. The data were analyzed in SPSS 19 and reported by descriptive statistics (mean and SD).Results: After three sessions of focus group discussion, 10 lessons was determined inclouding: evidence-based practice in clinical medicine, critical thinking and mind map, searching and retrieving evidence, systematic reviews, critical appraisal of evidence, systematic search, levels of evidence, systematic questions, and meta-analysis. The syllabuses was categorized in 5 modules based on 5 steps of evidence-based practice guidline.The overall satisfaction about the training was reported excellent (83.52 ± 16.27), and addressed the highest satisfaction with the support services (94.52 ± 29.68).Conclusions: This syllabus is appropriate for short course education of evidence-based approach in librarianship as a branch of medical librarianship and information sciences. It also is suitable for professional continuing education of librarians.

Cumulative Knowledge

The push for evidence-based practice is persistent in the public sector—what counts is what works. One central premise for evidence-based practice is the existence of an evidence base; that is, an accumulated and generalizable body of knowledge. Informed by a recent systematic review, we examine the promises and pitfalls of meta-analysis (the statistical workhorse of systematic reviews) as the primary blueprint for cumulative knowledge building in evaluation. This analysis suggests that the statistical assumptions underlying the meta-analytic framework raise issues that, at least in regards to producing generalizable knowledge, may cut even deeper than is suggested by common criticisms. Advancing beyond meta-analysis, we consider alternative approaches for knowledge building and reflect on the implications of these for individual evaluations.

Abstract Background The clinical and surgical procedures are often based on scientifical evidence but 30-40% of patients do not receive treatment according to evidence based medicine. The main aim of this review and meta-analysis is to assess the effectiveness of leadership in healthcare setting. Methods It was conducted a literature research on MEDLINE, Pubmed and Scopus with publication year between 2015 and 2019. The inclusion criteria were studies involving healthcare workers that evaluated effectiveness of opinion leaders in improving behaviour of healthcare workers, according to clinical or patient related outcomes. The quality of studies were assesed with the NHLBI for before after studies and the NOS for other study designs. The effect of leadership was assessed as risk difference for all studies with the exception of cross sectional studies. For the last it was evaluated correlation between leadership level and outcome measurment. Results A total of 3,155 articles were screened and 284 were fully assessed including 22 of them in the final database: 1 randomized trial, 9 cross sectional and 12 before after studies. For the cross-sectional studies there was a correlation of 0.22 (95% CI 0.15-0.28) between leadership level and outcome measurment. In the metaregression analysis the only factor that increased the correlation was private setting (meta regression coefficent =0.52, p = 0.022). The pooled efficacy was 24% (95% CI 10%-17%) for before after studies. Furthermore, a higher effectiveness was revealed in studies conducted on multi professional (24%) than single professional (9%) healthcare workers. Conclusions According to results, the guidelines adherence and task performance increased in a setting with leadership implementation. The leadership effectiveness appears comparable to other strategies as audit and feedback used to implement evidence-based practice in worldwide healthcare. Key messages The translation of evidence into clinical practice is often difficult but this study suggests that leaderhip can had higher effectiveness in multiprofessional healthcare workers and private setting. The effectiveness of leadership in this review suggests that it can be of help in order to make aware healthcare professionals about effectiveness of comply with evidence-based practice.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report the experience of the Portugal Centre For Evidence Based Practice (PCEBP): a JBI Centre of Excellence in the training of health professionals, researchers, and professors in the Comprehensive Systematic Review Training Program, a course on Evidence Synthesis, specifically on Systematic Literature Reviews. Method: This article aims to report the experience of the Portugal Centre For Evidence Based Practice: a JBI Centre of Excellence in the implementation of the Comprehensive Systematic Review Training Program that trains health professionals, researchers, and teachers to develop Systematic Reviews, according to the JBI approach. Results: By the end of 2020, 11 editions of the course had been developed with 136 participants from different educational and health institutions, from different countries. As a result of the training of these participants, 13 systematic reviews were published in JBI Evidence Synthesis and 10 reviews were published in other journals. Conclusion: The reported results and the students’ satisfaction evaluation allow us to emphasize the relevance of the course for health professionals training on evidence synthesis.
