Design and validity of an instrument to assess healthcare professionals' perceptions, behaviour, self-efficacy and attitudes towards evidence-based health practice: I-SABE.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo develop and validate an instrument to measure Brazilian healthcare professionals' perceptions, behaviour, self-efficacy and attitudes towards evidence-based health practice.
designValidation of an instrument using the Delphi method to ensure content validity and data from a cross-sectional survey to evaluate psychometric characteristics (psychometric sensitivity, factorial validity and reliability).
settingNational Register of Health Establishments database.
participantsWe included clinical health professionals who were working in the Brazilian public health system.
resultsThe Instrument to assess Evidence-Based Health (I-SABE) was constructed with five domains: self-efficacy; behaviour; attitude; results/benefits and knowledge/skills. Content validity was done by 10-12 experts (three rounds). We applied I-SABE to 217 health professionals. Bartlett's sphericity test and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) index were adequate (χ
conclusionsThe results of the psychometric analysis of the I-SABE confirm the good quality of this tool. The I-SABE can be used both in educational activities as well as an assessment tool among healthcare professionals in the Brazilian public health settings.
