    Author: Felcenloben J, Gerstenkorn A.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2008 Jun; 24(144):526-8. PubMed ID: 18702335.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Evidence Based Medicine integrates best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values and convictions. The problem of "EBM in family doctors/GPs practice", described in this paper, was the topic only of a few studies. AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of the study was to measure the level of Evidence Based Medicine rules' knowledge and its usage in GPs' practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted among a random sample of 60 GPs from province of Lodz. The survey created by researcher was used as a tool in this study. RESULTS: Evidence Based Medicine was viewed positively by over half of interviewed GPs (0.63). All of them see the opportunity to use rules of this system in their future practice. The respondents' knowledge of epidemiological and statistical terms and of the valid study results is low. The majority of respondents use medical journals as the source of knowledge about EBM. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study encourage to spread the idea of EBM among physicians and to complete their education (undergraduate and postgraduate) with elements of evidence based medicine, epidemiology, statistics and IT knowledge as well.
