Language is a barrier to implementing research evidence into practice. Whilst the majority of the world's population speak languages other than English, English has become the dominant language of publication for research in healthcare.
The aim of this study was to quantify the usage of the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) web-site (www.pedro.org.au) and training videos by language, including the use of online translation, and to calculate relative usage of the different sections of the web-site.
Google Analytics was used to track usage of the PEDro web-site for July 2017 to June 2018. The number of views of each of the PEDro training videos was downloaded from YouTube for January 2015 to August 2018. The pageviews and videos were categorized by language and, for pageviews, web-site section.
2,828,422 pageviews were included in the analyses. The English-language sections had the largest number of pageviews (58.61%), followed by Portuguese (15.57%), and Spanish (12.02%). Users applied online translation tools to translate selected content of the PEDro web-site into 41 languages. The PEDro training videos had been viewed 78,150 times. The three most commonly viewed languages were English (58.80%), Portuguese (19.83%), and Spanish (6.13%).
There was substantial use of some of the translated versions of the resources offered by PEDro. Future efforts could focus on region-specific promotion of the language resources that are underutilized in PEDro. The developers of PEDro and PEDro users can work collaboratively to facilitate uptake and translate resources into languages other than English to reduce the language barrier in using research to guide practice.
语言是将研究证据应用于实践的障碍。尽管世界上大多数人说的不是英语,但英语已成为医疗保健研究的主要出版语言。
本研究旨在量化语言对 Physiotherapy Evidence Database(PEDro)网站(www.pedro.org.au)和培训视频的使用情况,包括在线翻译的使用情况,并计算网站不同部分的相对使用情况。
使用 Google Analytics 跟踪 2017 年 7 月至 2018 年 6 月期间 PEDro 网站的使用情况。从 2015 年 1 月至 2018 年 8 月,从 YouTube 下载了每个 PEDro 培训视频的观看次数。根据语言和(对于网页浏览量)网站部分对网页浏览量和视频进行分类。
共纳入 2828422 次网页浏览量。英语语言部分的网页浏览量最大(58.61%),其次是葡萄牙语(15.57%)和西班牙语(12.02%)。用户使用在线翻译工具将 PEDro 网站的选定内容翻译成 41 种语言。PEDro 培训视频已被观看了 78150 次。观看次数最多的三种语言是英语(58.80%)、葡萄牙语(19.83%)和西班牙语(6.13%)。
PEDro 提供的一些资源的翻译版本得到了大量使用。未来的工作可以集中在特定地区推广 PEDro 中使用不足的语言资源。PEDro 的开发者和 PEDro 用户可以共同努力,促进资源的采用并将其翻译成英语以外的其他语言,以减少使用研究指导实践的语言障碍。
