Evidence based practice shows potential to empower the critical thinking skills of practitioners. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of evidence-based information management and practice (EBIMP) training course on the promotion of medical librarians\u2019 critical thinking. This study is a randomized double-blind educational trial in the form of a parallel trial. A sample of 60 librarians were recruited nationwide in the study through the volunteer enrollment to the evidence-based information management and practice training course. Intervention group received a 10-module virtual course focusing on evidence-based information management. But the control group received a basic course of evidence-based medicine. The courses were delivered through virtual learning system and data was collected through California Standard Critical Thinking Skills Questionnaire Form B (CCTST). Data were analyzed with Covariance Analysis (ANCOVA), Chi-square (\u03c7\u00b2), Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Levin tests, and t-test, using SPSS 25. The findings showed that the critical thinking skills of participants after training of the information management and evidence-based practice (EBIMP) had significant improvement in the intervention group compared with the control group regarding the \u201cinference\u201d (4.86\u2009\u00b1\u20091.94 vs 4.20\u2009\u00b1\u20091.32), \u201cassessment\u201d (7.90\u2009\u00b1\u20091.77 vs 5.90\u2009\u00b1\u20091.70), \u201cInductive reasoning\u201d (8.67\u2009\u00b1\u20092.32 vs 6.37\u2009\u00b1\u20091.87), \u201cdeductive reasoning\u201d (6.47\u2009\u00b1\u20092.04 vs 5.77\u2009\u00b1\u20091.97) subskills. Education of evidence-based information practice could be effective in promotion of critical thinking skills of medical librarians. This study suggests evidence-based information practice to be added to the curriculum of medical library and information science fields. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Trial registration: This study was registered with number 9000.1v1 in Registry of Efficacy and Effectiveness Studies (REES). <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09610006221114648","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]],"date-time":"2022-08-08T10:34:57Z","timestamp":1659954897000},"page":"1044-1054","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effect of evidence-based information management and practice training on librarians\u2019 critical thinking: A randomized educational trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Sima","family":"Esmaeilzad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Islamic Azad University, Hamedan Branch, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3278-6859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vahideh Zarea","family":"Gavgani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran"}]},{"given":"Atefeh","family":"Zarei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Seyed Ali Akbar","family":"Familrouhany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Islamic Azad University, Hamedan Branch, Iran"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-09610006221114648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3102\/0034654308326084"},{"key":"bibr2-09610006221114648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5860\/crl12-417"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr3-09610006221114648","first-page":"15","volume":"14","author":"Bodi S","year":"1988","journal-title":"Journal of Academic Librarianship"},{"key":"bibr4-09610006221114648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.29085\/9781856047852"},{"key":"bibr5-09610006221114648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1471-1842.2002.00372.x"},{"key":"bibr6-09610006221114648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nedt.2018.02.036"},{"key":"bibr7-09610006221114648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0961000620948569"},{"volume-title":"Evidence Based Practice & Critical Thinking in Library and Information Science","year":"2021","author":"Esmaeilzad S","key":"bibr8-09610006221114648"},{"issue":"6","key":"bibr9-09610006221114648","first-page":"541","volume":"8","author":"Fatemeh M","year":"2015","journal-title":"Payavard Salamat"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr10-09610006221114648","first-page":"21","volume":"3","author":"Fattahi R","year":"2000","journal-title":"Library and Information Sciences"},{"key":"bibr11-09610006221114648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.34172\/doh.2021.05"},{"key":"bibr12-09610006221114648","unstructured":"Gibson C (1995) Critical thinking: Implications for instruction.
