| description | Introduction
Despite the growing availability of evidence and sources of information, it is not clear what are the physicians’ preferences for filling gaps in their medical knowledge.
Objective
To summarize the available evidence about physicians’ preferences and perceived barriers and facilitators about sources of information.
Methods
We will undertake an overview of systematic reviews according to PRISMA guidelines. We will search Epistemonikos from inception until March 2019. We will also search PROSPERO, and we will perform a forward citation search in Scopus. Inclusion criteria will consider systematic reviews (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods) focusing on physicians’ preferences about sources of information, as well as perceived barriers and facilitators. Two authors will independently screen and select records for inclusion. We will appraise the quality of included systematic reviews using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist, and the overlap of primary studies according to the corrected covered area formula. We will conduct a narrative synthesis of quantitative data and a thematic analysis of qualitative findings.
Discussion
We expect that our findings will contribute to improving the evidence-based general practice by identifying physicians’ perspectives about different sources of medical information. |
