  • Title: Introducing evidence-based practice to an inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry unit.
    Author: Kurth J.
    Journal: Acad Psychiatry; 2009; 33(5):400-3. PubMed ID: 19828856.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: An evidence-based practice (EBP) course was presented to the nonphysician clinical staff of an inpatient child psychiatry unit to assess change in attitude and knowledge. METHODS: Staff members were surveyed to determine change in attitudes and knowledge. RESULTS: The staff gained knowledge about EBP and attitudes were positive overall, indicating that the staff was much more likely to use EBP after the course. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the feasibility of teaching EBP to inpatient child psychiatry staff, although the small sample size was a significant limitation and further studies are indicated.
