The aim of this paper is to understand UK doctors' attitudes towards evidence-based medicine (EBM) and their self-perceived understanding of specified EBM terms. An online questionnaire was emailed to doctor's emails (identified from the Internet) and the questionnaire URL was promoted on certain websites and electronic newsletters. This article focuses on the EBM questions posed on this research instrument. Respondents were generally positive towards the practice of EBM; for example, 72.3% of UK doctors agreed that EBM improves patient outcomes. Over 85% of respondents were either able to explain (or had some understanding) all the specified EBM terms. Respondents who had graduated from medical school most recently were more positive towards EBM and had a stronger self-perceived understanding of the EBM terms. This research found that doctors were generally in favour of EBM and their understanding of specialist terms was higher than previous published research.
本文旨在了解英国医生对循证医学（EBM）的态度，以及他们对特定 EBM 术语的自我认知理解。我们通过电子邮件向医生的电子邮箱（从互联网上获取）发送了在线调查问卷，并在某些网站和电子通讯上推广了问卷链接。本文重点介绍了该研究工具中的 EBM 问题。受访者普遍对 EBM 的实践持积极态度；例如，72.3%的英国医生认为 EBM 可以改善患者的预后。超过 85%的受访者能够解释（或有一定的理解）所有指定的 EBM 术语。最近从医学院毕业的受访者对 EBM 更为积极，对 EBM 术语的自我认知理解也更强。本研究发现，医生普遍支持 EBM，他们对专业术语的理解高于之前发表的研究。
