| Aim | To assess the methodological quality using AMSTAR 2 and current evidence from systematic reviews (SRs) on educational interventions being used by educators to teach evidence-based practice to professional bachelor-degree healthcare students indexed across PubMed/Medline, CINAHL, ERIC and the Cochrane library) from May 2013 to January 25th, 2024. |
| Level of Investigation | Descriptive |
| Summary of Findings | All the 6 included systematic reviews on educational interventions being used by educators to teach evidence-based practice to professional bachelor-degree healthcare students indexed across PubMed/Medline, CINAHL, ERIC and the Cochrane library) from May 2013 to January 25th, 2024, were of critically low methodological quality using AMSTAR 2. The main reasons for the low quality of the reviews were 1) not demonstrating a registered protocol prior to the review (4/6, 66.6%), 2) not providing a list of excluded studies with justification for exclusion (5/6, 83.3%) and 3) not accounting for the quality of the individual studies when interpreting the result of the review (14/6, 66.6%). Half of the SRs did not report sources of funding for primary studies. |
