This scoping review followed Cochrane guidelines to comprehensively assess the use and understanding of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in Chinese social science literature. We conducted a research across three electronic databases and three major social science journals for the studies published between 2004 and 2016. Chinese social work literature demonstrates a precise understanding of EBP defined as a process, but it lacks comprehensive discussions about EBP that extend beyond basic principles and process definitions. We identified language barriers and developmental issues for social work in China that contribute to these incomplete discussions. We examined the importance of broadening and enriching the discussions around EBP, especially for Chinese educators, researchers, and clinicians involved with empirically supported treatments. We also consider the implications of our findings for the development of social work in China.

這篇文獻回顧采用了Cochrane指導標准系統評估了中文社會科學文獻對於循證實踐（EBP）的理解和運用狀況。本研究檢索了在從2004到2016年三個電子數據庫，三本主流社會科學期刊所發表的研究論文。研究發現，中文社會科學文獻中西方循證實踐被界定為一個過程，但缺乏對於超越基本准則和過程性界定的更充分討論。本文指出導致中國社會工作專業這一問題的語言及發展的阻礙。論文也進一步考察了擴大、加深對於循證實踐（EBP）討論的重要性，尤其是對於參與到經驗干預實踐的中國社會工作教育工作者、研究者以及臨床工作者而言。本文最後探討了研究發現對於中國社會工作發展的啟示。
