In an era of evidence-based practice, why are clinicians not typically engaged in evidence-based assessment? To begin to understand this issue, a national multidisciplinary survey was conducted to examine clinician attitudes toward standardized assessment tools. There were 1,442 child clinicians who provided opinions about the psychometric qualities of these tools, their benefit over clinical judgment alone, and their practicality. Doctoral-level clinicians and psychologists expressed more positive ratings in all three domains than master's-level clinicians and nonpsychologists, respectively, although only the disciplinary differences remained significant when predictors were examined simultaneously. All three attitude scales were predictive of standardized assessment tool use, although practical concerns were the strongest and only independent predictor of use.
在循证实践的时代,为什么临床医生通常不参与循证评估?为了开始理解这个问题,进行了一项全国性的多学科调查,以研究临床医生对标准化评估工具的态度。共有 1442 名儿童临床医生对这些工具的心理测量学质量、相对于单独临床判断的优势以及其实用性发表了意见。博士级别的临床医生和心理学家在这三个领域的评价都比硕士级别的临床医生和非心理学家更为积极,尽管当同时考虑预测因素时,只有学科差异仍然显著。所有三个态度量表都可以预测标准化评估工具的使用,尽管实际问题是最强的、也是唯一独立的使用预测因素。
