To identify the attitude of occupational health physicians toward evidence-based occupational health (EBOH) and clinical practice guidelines (CPGs); to determine their ability to access, retrieve and appraise the health evidence and the barriers to applying evidence to practice.
A cross-sectional survey study was carried out among all Dutch-speaking occupational health physicians in Belgium (584 physicians could be reached).
A response rate of 25.5% was achieved. The majority of respondents were positive toward EBOH and CPGs. Most respondents were less confident in basic skills of EBM, except for their searching skills. Perceived barriers to applying evidence to practice were mainly time and lack of EBM skills.
Belgian occupational health physicians are interested in the implementation of EBOH in their daily occupational practice and have a general knowledge of EBM. However, there are barriers in the legislative framework, the education and the information infrastructure, which first have to be removed. The time has come for the responsible authorities to take educational initiatives and to take a huge leap forward in the integration of EBOH into occupational practice.
确定职业健康医师对循证职业健康（EBOH）和临床实践指南（CPGs）的态度；确定他们获取、检索和评估健康证据以及将证据应用于实践的障碍的能力。
在比利时对所有讲荷兰语的职业健康医师进行了横断面调查研究（可联系到 584 名医师）。
实现了 25.5%的回复率。大多数受访者对 EBOH 和 CPGs 持积极态度。除了搜索技能外，大多数受访者对 EBM 的基本技能都不太有信心。将证据应用于实践的感知障碍主要是时间和缺乏 EBM 技能。
比利时职业健康医师对将 EBOH 应用于日常职业实践感兴趣，并且对 EBM 有一般的了解。然而，在立法框架、教育和信息基础设施方面存在障碍，首先必须消除这些障碍。现在是责任当局采取教育举措并在将 EBOH 纳入职业实践方面迈出巨大一步的时候了。
