This study described the current knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and practices of a group of school-based pediatric physical therapists regarding evidence-based practice (EBP).
Five practitioners participated in this project. Each was interviewed individually and in a group and completed a quantitative survey.
All of the participants had a positive attitude toward EBP and believed that it should be an important element of clinical practice. Knowledge and practice were more variable, with several individuals reporting a lack of confidence in this area and an inability to routinely implement EBP.
These participants were more likely to rely on colleagues, interaction with their supervisor, and professional experience to aid in decision making than research evidence. Pediatric physical therapists face numerous challenges accessing, analyzing, and applying research evidence. It is critical for the profession to identify optimal ways to support practitioners in this aspect of clinical practice.
本研究描述了一组在校儿科物理治疗师关于循证实践(EBP)的当前知识、信念、态度和实践情况。
五名从业者参与了该项目。每人分别接受了单独访谈和小组访谈,并完成了一项定量调查。
所有参与者对循证实践持积极态度,并认为它应该是临床实践的一个重要组成部分。知识和实践的差异更大,有几个人表示在这方面缺乏信心,无法常规实施循证实践。
与研究证据相比,这些参与者更有可能依靠同事、与上级的互动以及专业经验来辅助决策。儿科物理治疗师在获取、分析和应用研究证据方面面临诸多挑战。该行业确定在临床实践的这一方面支持从业者的最佳方法至关重要。
