Abstract

Background

Systematically collecting data on clientele databases allows for describing the clientele's needs and addressing various clinical research questions. Conducted in a university psychology clinic, this initiative seeks to improve the overall quality of care provided by integrating evidence-based practices. This study works to bridge the gap between clinical practice and research.

Aims

This study aimed to describe the potential repercussions and clinicians' impressions regarding the implementation of this procedure.

Research Design

An inductive qualitative approach, inspired by Husserl's descriptive phenomenology, was used. To be consistent with this approach, data analysis followed Giorgi's five-step scientific phenomenological method.

Data Collection and Analysis

Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 14 volunteer clinicians using an interview guide. The data were analysed to extract central themes using Giorgi's method, which involves collecting verbal data, reading the data, dividing it into units of meaning, organising the data using the language of the discipline and synthesising the results.

Results

Five central themes emerged: barriers to implementation, potential impacts on therapy, recommendations to enhance participation, perceived utility and an attitude of openness.

Discussion

The pilot project provides valuable insights into the feasibility and acceptability of systematic data collection in a clinical setting. Clinician consultation proves to be essential in the implementation process, highlighting the importance of addressing practical and philosophical obstacles.

Conclusion

Understanding clinicians' experiences can guide future implementations of similar systems and improve clinical practice by supporting the integration of systematic data collection. Enhanced communication and training on the data collection system are suggested.

关于临床医生对实施临床和研究数据收集系统的印象的定性研究

通过系统地收集客户数据库的数据，可以描述客户的需求并解决各种临床研究问题。这项研究在一所大学的心理诊所开展，旨在通过整合循证实践，提高医疗服务的整体质量。本研究旨在描述实施该程序的潜在影响和临床医生对该程序的印象。研究采用了归纳定性方法，该方法受到胡塞尔描述性现象学的启发。为了与这一方法保持一致，数据分析遵循了乔吉的五步科学现象学方法。研究使用访谈指南对 14 名志愿临床医生进行了半结构化个人访谈。采用 Giorgi 的方法对数据进行了分析，以提取中心主题，该方法包括收集口头数据、阅读数据、将数据划分为意义单位、使用学科语言组织数据以及综合结果。事实证明，临床医生的咨询在实施过程中至关重要，突出了解决实际和理念障碍的重要性。了解临床医生的经验可以指导今后类似系统的实施，并通过支持整合系统数据收集来改善临床实践。建议加强数据收集系统的沟通和培训。

期刊介绍： Counselling and Psychotherapy Research is an innovative international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to linking research with practice. Pluralist in orientation, the journal recognises the value of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods strategies of inquiry and aims to promote high-quality, ethical research that informs and develops counselling and psychotherapy practice. CPR is a journal of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, promoting reflexive research strongly linked to practice. The journal has its own website: www.cprjournal.com. The aim of this site is to further develop links between counselling and psychotherapy research and practice by offering accessible information about both the specific contents of each issue of CPR, as well as wider developments in counselling and psychotherapy research. The aims are to ensure that research remains relevant to practice, and for practice to continue to inform research development.
