This project explored the feasibility of developing and introducing online education on systematic review for midwifery students. We first conducted a needs assessment among midwifery and nursing students regarding the knowledge, attitude, and practice of systematic review, which indicated the necessity of providing education to meet students’ needs. We then visited three universities in the UK to learn the current practice on systematic review education there. Based on what we learnt from the UK, we conducted a series of seminars on systematic review for midwifery students. Based on the feedback from the students, we found face-to-face interactive learning to be more advantageous than online education, especially for the early-stage learners who often encounter difficulties in learning the process of systematic review, therefore, need additional consultation.
