| Abstract: | Background: Systematic reviews provide critical exploration, evaluation, and synthesis of the unmanageable amount of information and separate the insignificant, unsound, or redundant deadwood in the medical literature from the salient and critical studies that are worthy of reflection. They have been regarded as the highest quality of evidence for clinical practice. Objectives: The National Health Research Institutes of Taiwan provided a series of education for postgraduate health professionals to learn systematic reviews. The curricula of the two-day workshop include how to perform meta-analysis by using RevMan 5. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of this training program. Methods: A pre- and post-survey of participants was carried out to examine views related to systematic reviews including changes in beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, skills, and perceived barriers. Results: The professions of participants include physicians, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, and public health experts. After educational training, participants’ knowledge and skill in the systematic reviews significantly increase (p < 0.001). They are more likely to believe that systematic reviews can improve patient care quality (p < 0.001), and thus to support the implementation of the systematic reviews (p < 0.001). The prevalence of perceived barriers to produce systematic reviews also decline (p < 0.001). In addition, the most common barrier to meta-analysis is lacking English language skill. Conclusions: The belief, attitude, knowledge, and skill in relation to systematic reviews have been improved after the training program. These data suggest that education is useful in disseminating systematic reviews. |
