BİR EĞİTİM VE ARAŞTIRMA HASTANESİNDE ASİSTAN HEKİMLERİNİN KANITA DAYALI TIP FARKINDALIK DÜZEYLERİ

Abstract

Özet Giriş ve Amaç: Bu çalışma, İzmir Kâtip Çelebi Üniversitesi Atatürk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde görev yapan asistan hekimlerin kanıta dayalı tıp (KDT) uygulamalarına yönelik tutumlarını, farkındalık düzeylerini, bilgiye erişim davranışlarını ve karşılaştıkları engelleri belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma kesitsel bir nitelik taşımaktadır. 1 Aralık 2020 ile 31 Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında yürütülen çalışmada, 17 sorudan oluşan çevrim içi bir anket uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 25.0 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 211 asistan hekim katılmıştır. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 28,38±2,41 yıl olup %99,1’i KDT kavramını daha önce duyduğunu belirtmiştir. Veri tabanı kullanımında en sık tercih edilen kaynaklar PubMed (%73,0) ve Google Scholar (%53,6) olmuştur. Katılımcılar, KDT uygulamalarının önündeki başlıca engelleri zaman yetersizliği (%74,9) ve Türkçe kaynak eksikliği (%72,5) olarak ifade etmiştir. Katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğu, KDT'nin sağlık hizmetinin kalitesini artıracağı (%94,7) ve malpraktis riskini azaltacağı (%92,4) görüşündedir. Sonuç: Asistan hekimlerin KDT’ye yönelik tutumları genel olarak olumludur. KDT'nin klinik uygulamalarda daha etkin biçimde kullanılabilmesi için, tıp eğitimi sürecinde bu alana yönelik içeriklerin artırılması ve klinik pratikte hekimlere zaman kazandıracak düzenlemelerin yapılması önem arz etmektedir.

EVİDENCE-BASED MEDİCİNE AWARENESS LEVELS OF RESİDENTS İN A TRAİNİNG AND RESEARCH HOSPİTAL

Abstract

Introduction and Aim: This study aimed to assess the attitudes, awareness, evidence-seeking behaviors, and perceived barriers related to evidence-based medicine (EBM) among resident physicians working at a tertiary training and research hospital in İzmir, Türkiye. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional research. Data were collected between December 1, 2020, and May 31, 2021, using a 17-item online questionnaire. The responses were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results: A total of 211 resident physicians participated in the study. The mean age of participants was 28.38±2.41 years. Of the participants, 99.1% had previously heard of the concept of EBM. The most commonly used databases were PubMed (73.0%) and Google Scholar (53.6%). The main barriers to EBM practice were reported as lack of time (74.9%) and insufficient Turkish-language resources (72.5%). Most participants believed EBM improves the quality of healthcare delivery (94.7%) and reduces malpractice risk (92.4%). Conclusion: Resident physicians demonstrated a generally positive attitude toward EBM and showed a strong willingness to learn more. To increase the integration of EBM into clinical practice, the number of EBM-focused courses should be expanded during both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. Institutional support and improvements in workload management are also essential to enable physicians to engage more effectively with evidence-based practices.
