Background: Despite the importance of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) in improving the quality of healthcare, many barriers hamper its successful implementation. Evidence on these barriers could facilitate interventions and health policy directions aimed at optimizing best clinical practices. This study aimed to identify the barriers to EBM implementation in Ethiopia through a systematic Study of the literature.
Methods: PubMed, EBSCO, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar were searched for relevant articles. Peer-Reviewed primary studies were eligible for inclusion if they assessed barriers to EBM in Ethiopia. The Qualsyst tool was used to assess the quality of included studies. The barriers identified in the included studies were analyzed based on their frequency of occurrence among the studies.
