Effectiveness of a technology-based intervention to teach evidence-based practice
Background: As the world becomes increasingly digital, advances in technology have changed
how students access evidence-based information. Research suggests that students overestimate
their ability to locate quality online research and lack the skills needed to evaluate the scientific
literature. Clinical nurses report relying on personal experience to answer clinical questions rather
than searching evidence-based sources. To address the problem, a web-based, evidence-based
research (EBR) tool that is usable from a computer, smartphone, or iPad was developed and
tested. The purpose of the EBR tool is to guide students through the basic steps needed to
locate and critically appraise the online scientific literature while linking users to quality electronic
resources to support evidence-based practice (EBP).
Methods: Testing of the tool took place in a mixed-method, quasi-experimental, and twopopulation
randomized controlled trial (RCT) design in a U.S. and Middle East university.
Results: A statistically significant improvement in overall research skills was supported in the
quasi-experimental nursing student group and RCT nutrition student group using the EBR tool.
A statistically significant proportional difference was supported in the RCT nutrition and PharmD
intervention groups in participants’ ability to distinguish the credibility of online source materials
compared with controls. The majority of participants could correctly apply PICOTS to a case
study when using the tool.
Conclusions: The data from this preliminary study suggests that the EBR tool enhanced student
overall research skills and selected EBP skills while generating data for assessment of learning
outcomes.PublishedN/
