This article describes the qualitative responses from licensed masters-level social workers (LMSWs) regarding what they perceive as barriers and facilitators to consistently engaging in the process of evidence-based practice (EBP). Two open-ended questions were posed to determine what helps social workers consistently use the EBP process and what inhibits them from regularly applying EBP to guide clinical decision-making. A total of 113 responses were recorded. Content analysis was used to identify emergent themes. Facilitators to the consistent use of EBP included: the belief that EBP improves outcomes, research that was vetted and disseminated by trusted partners such as the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and ethical mandates. Barriers included: time, lack of applicable research, client-specific factors, and cost. Factors identified as both facilitating and impeding the EBP process were lack of necessary technology, organizational context, provider beliefs, and research knowledge/training. Providers identified a number of barriers and facilitators to engaging in the process of evidence-based practice, which guided the extent to which they consistently engaged in the process, and how difficult they perceived itto be.
本文描述了持照硕士水平社会工作者（LMSWs）对于他们所认为的持续参与循证实践（EBP）过程中的障碍和促进因素的定性回应。提出了两个开放式问题，以确定是什么帮助社会工作者持续使用EBP过程，以及是什么阻碍他们定期应用EBP来指导临床决策。共记录了113条回应。采用内容分析法来识别新出现的主题。持续使用EBP的促进因素包括：认为EBP能改善结果的信念、由诸如美国社会工作者协会（NASW）等可信赖伙伴审核并传播的研究，以及道德要求。障碍包括：时间、缺乏适用的研究、特定于客户的因素和成本。被确定为既促进又阻碍EBP过程的因素有缺乏必要技术、组织环境、提供者信念以及研究知识/培训。提供者们识别出了参与循证实践过程中的一些障碍和促进因素，这些因素指导了他们持续参与该过程的程度，以及他们认为这一过程有多困难。
