Agree with other authors' advise [12, 82], we also recommend days of conservative treatments before using EBP, perform EBP precociously few days after the beginning of symptoms [59].
Attitudes about EBP: Does EBP impact on the way you work with your patients?
This study found that many Australian chiropractors generally hold positive attitudes towards EBP, thought EBP was useful, and were interested in improving EBP skills.
Easy internet access is fundamental to inform EBP and to access EBP resources.
A systematic review [ 5] which studied 104 instruments on EBP suggested that evaluation of EBP could be divided into the following definable components: EBP knowledge, attitudes toward EBP, application/use of EBP and practitioners' EBP behaviors in the clinical setting.

EBP is rather a new concept in Norway and little is known about EBP beliefs and use of EBP among Norwegian nurses.
EBP implementation was significantly associated with EBP beliefs and organizational culture.
Among those that reported not teaching EBP, lack of educational preparation on EBP and inadequate competence in teaching EBP were the most frequently selected barriers.
Although the Berlin tool is described as a tool that can assess EBP competence, it only assesses one component of EBP ('Step 3' of the EBP process).
There was a positive correlation between the EBP Beliefs Scale and the EBP Implementation Scale (r = 0.59, p = 0.001), which indicated that the stronger beliefs a nurse has in EBP the higher the nurse will report EBP implementation.
