Objective To explore the challenges of training workshops on Cochrane Systematic Review (CSR) in 2006–2008 and to identify strategies to meet better the needs of the participants.
Methods We designed a quantitative survey for all participants and collected their feedback on the arrangements and challenges of the workshop, and on their needs.
Results The overall response rate was 82.6% (138/167). The training on CSR evaluated more highly from 2006 to 2008. A total of 167 registered participants from 21 provinces in China took part, and 71.3% (119/167) of them were graduate students. Only 10.9 % (15/138) selected their topics before training. After training, most of the participants were satisfied with the arrangement of the workshop, and thought the most helpful contents were: meta-analysis and statistics 83.7% (113/135), trials selection, inclusion and extraction 79.4% (108/136), literature evaluation 78.1% (107/137), and results analysis and explanation 72.8% (99/136). Some participants desired more time for practical exercises and for advice on keeping track of the development of their reviews.
Conclusion The training on CSR has been gradually improved in the past 3 years. Cochrane systematic reviews have become an important research topic for graduate students in this time in China. Most of the participants benefit from the CSR workshop. More time on exercises is needed and the trainees’ further development should be followed up.
