Abstract Background Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is an essential component of modern medical practice and crucial for patient safety and high-quality healthcare services. The purpose of this study is to assess the factors associated with practicing EBM among medical interns in Amhara regional state teaching hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods An institution based cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to April, 2020. Simple random sampling with proportional allocation was used. A total of 403 medical interns were included in the study. The data were collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire. Data were coded and entered in to Epi info 8.1 then exported to and analyzed by using SPSS 20.1. Multivariable logistic regression analysis method was used to identify the factors associated with the practice of EBM. Results From the total of 403 medical interns, 48.4% had good practices towards EBM. EBM knowledge, attitude towards EBM, ability to critically appraise evidence and having sufficient time to search for evidence were the factors significantly associated with EBM practice. Conclusion Medical interns have limited practice of integrating scientific evidence in to clinical practice. There is a need to setup EBM journal club, which helps to increase awareness and use of evidence, as well as assist medical interns and other clinical staffs to ensure the correct application of EBM in to clinical practice.

ABSTRAK   Insidensi terjadinya kasus BPPV di dunia mencapai 64/100.000 yang paling banyak melibatkan kanalis semisirkularis posterior unilateral. Lima puluh persen penyebabnya adalah idiopatik, diikuti dengan kasus trauma kepala, neuritis vestibularis, migrain, implantasi gigi dan mastoiditis kronis. Sebuah kasus pusing berputar disertai dengan mual dan muntah pada perempuan usia 49 tahun sejak 3 jam sebelum datang ke Puskesmas Rawat Inap Simpur. Pasien memiliki riwayat vertigo sejak 3 tahun lalu dan riwayat hipertensi sejak 1,5 tahun yang lalu. Pemeriksaan fisik didapatkan tekanan darah 150/90 mmHg dengan IMT 25,3 (pemeriksaan fisik lain dalam batas normal).Pemeriksaan neurologis otologi didaptkan hasil Dix-Hallpike maneuver vertigo positif dengan nistagmus cepat ke kiri. Dilakukan intervensi dengan pendekatan dokter keluarga berupa tindakan Epley manuver selama perawatan di puskesmas serta pemberian betahistin mesylate 3 x 6 mg, difenhidramin HCl 4 x 25 mg, dan kaptopril 1 x 12,5 mg. Saat pulang pasien diberikan edukasi mengenai latihan vestibuler berupa Brandt-Daroff maneuver dan pola hidup sehat. Dilakukan follow up pada pasien sebanyak 4 kali dan didapatkan hasil keluhan berkurang lebih dari 50% sejak datang ke puskesmas, pusing hanya terasa pada saat bangun dari tidur. Penatalaksanaan BPPV kanalis posterior kanan yang diberikan pada kasus ini sudah sesuai dengan guideline dan penelitian terkini, terlihat perkembangan yang baik pada gejala klinis dan perubahan perilaku pasien setelah dilakukan intervensi berdasarkan evidence based medicine yang bersifat patient centred dan  family approach. Kata Kunci: BPPV, Dokter Keluarga, Kanal Posterior Kanan, Unilateral   ABSTRACT   The incidence of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) has been reported 64/100.000 in the world which mostly involves the unilateral posterior semicircular canal. Fifty percent of the cases are idiopathic, followed by cases of head trauma, vestibular neuritis, migraine, dental implantation, and chronic mastoiditis. Case: A Dizziness, nausea, and vomiting in 49 years old woman who came to the Simpur Primary Health Care (PHC) have been reported. She appeared to be overweight with BMI is 25,3. Her physical examinations were normal except blood pressure is 150/90 mmHg and Dix-Hallpike vertigo positive maneuver with fast nystagmus to the left. Family medicine approach was carried out as holistic and comprehensive management by performing Epley maneuvers during treatment at the PHC and the administration 3 x 6 mg of betahistine mesylate, 4 x 25 mg of diphenhydramine HCl, and 1 x 12.5 mg of captopril. Brandt-Daroff maneuver and healthy lifestyle education were given to her before she came home. There were 4 times follow-ups for patient and the results of complaints were reduced by more than 50% since coming to the PHC, dizziness was only felt when she is waking up from sleep. The diagnosis and management were given to the patient are by the guidelines and current research, there is a good development in clinical symptoms and changes in patient behavior after patient-centered and family approach intervention based on “evidence-based medicine”.

Background and Objectives: Reports of innovations in evidence-based medicine (EBM) training have focused on curriculum design and knowledge gained. Little is known about the educational culture and environment for EBM training and the extent to which those environments exist in family medicine residencies in the United States. Methods: A literature review on this topic identified a validated EBM environment scale intended for learner use. This scale was adapted for completion by family medicine residency program directors (PDs) and administered through an omnibus survey. Responses to this scale were analyzed descriptively with program and PD demographics. An EBM culture score was calculated for each program and the results were regressed with the correlated demographics. Results: In our adapted survey, family medicine PDs generally rated their residencies high on the EBM culture scale, but admitted to challenges with faculty feedback to residents about EBM skills, ability to protect time for EBM instruction, and clinician skepticism about EBM. In linear regression analysis, the mean summary score on the EBM scale was lower for female PDs and in programs with a higher proportion of international medical school graduates. Conclusions: To improve the culture for EBM teaching, family medicine residency programs should focus on faculty engagement and support and the allocation of sufficient time for EBM education.
