Students in allied health educational programs learn evidence-based practice (EBP) skills, yet often do not consistently utilize these skills as practitioners. Barriers to implementing EBP include time pressures and lack of skill. This descriptive study explains how librarians can teach information literacy skills and strengthen knowledge of EBP in graduate occupational therapy (OT) students. The goal of the study was to evaluate students' perception of the effectiveness of learning activities about EBP, and librarians' perception of the value of teaching in an OT curriculum. Sixty-three students at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio read articles and learned didactic information from OT faculty and librarians about EBP. Students researched intervention questions and electronically sent searches to librarians for feedback. Students applied skills by researching an intervention of their choice. Evaluative data were collected from students in 2009 and 2010 and from librarians in 2009. Both groups rated the learning experiences highly. Students felt the learning experiences improved their effectiveness in carrying out EBP. Librarians valued the experience of teaching information literacy to OT students. These results support other studies showing librarians' effectiveness in developing EBP skills in students. Recommendations are given about using journal clubs and secondary literature to ensure the use of EBP at the workplace.
联合健康专业教育项目的学生学习循证实践（EBP）技能，但作为从业者时往往不能始终如一地运用这些技能。实施循证实践的障碍包括时间压力和技能不足。这项描述性研究解释了图书馆员如何教授信息素养技能，并增强研究生职业治疗（OT）专业学生的循证实践知识。该研究的目的是评估学生对循证实践学习活动有效性的看法，以及图书馆员对职业治疗课程中教学价值的看法。圣安东尼奥德克萨斯大学健康科学中心的63名学生阅读文章，并从职业治疗专业教师和图书馆员那里学习关于循证实践的教学信息。学生们研究干预问题，并通过电子邮件将检索结果发送给图书馆员以获取反馈。学生们通过研究自己选择的干预措施来应用技能。2009年和2010年从学生那里收集了评估数据，2009年从图书馆员那里收集了评估数据。两组都对学习经历给予了高度评价。学生们认为学习经历提高了他们开展循证实践的有效性。图书馆员重视向职业治疗专业学生教授信息素养的经历。这些结果支持了其他研究，表明图书馆员在培养学生循证实践技能方面的有效性。文中给出了关于利用期刊俱乐部和二手文献以确保在工作场所运用循证实践的建议。
