A systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence-based practice and its associated factors among health professionals in Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence-based practice (EBP) entails utilizing the most up-to-date information to inform clinical decisions. Healthcare professionals at all levels are encouraged to integrate the latest research evidence to ensure high-quality care. In Ethiopia, there is a lack of comprehensive, nationally representative data on the prevalence of EBP among healthcare workers. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess the overall prevalence of EBP and its associated factors among health professionals in Ethiopia.

Methods

This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The investigators searched electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane
