Abstract

Introduction

Research evidence suggests that radiographers often rely on previous training, traditional practices, work experience and protocols developed within the department rather than up-to-date research-based evidence in their daily practice. The aim of the study was to investigate factors that might impact the development of evidence-based practice amongst radiographers in clinical public settings in the Nordic countries.

Methods

An online survey was performed amongst 640 radiographers in four Nordic countries. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to investigate the odds ratio (OR) of facilitators for and barriers to radiographers' development of evidence-based practice.

Results

A reflective approach in everyday practice and being aware of the current research evidence were significant facilitators for radiographers' development of evidence-based practice (OR ≥ 3.10, p < 0.001). Discussing research with colleagues and managers was associated with engagement in the utilisation of evidence (OR 7.21, p < 0.001). Difficulties in evaluating research evidence represented the only significant barrier (OR 1.84, p 0.009).

Conclusion

A critical approach amongst radiographers in their performance of healthcare in diagnostic imaging, and the development of their academic skills to improve awareness of the available research evidence are important factors for developing evidence-based practice in radiography. Leadership is crucial for the engagement of radiographers in the development of evidence-based practice. Management should facilitate the development of a learning culture within diagnostic imaging.

Implications for practice

The results provide suggestions for the development of a learning culture, proactive and person-centred leadership, and strategic management for the provision of research infrastructure, all of which contribute to the further integration of evidence-based practice in radiography. Also, the study results suggest the importance of shared responsibility for creating a critical fellowship in diagnostic imaging.
公共医疗领域放射技师循证实践发展的重要因素
导言:研究证据表明,放射技师在日常工作中往往依赖于以前的培训、传统做法、工作经验和部门内部制定的规程,而不是最新的研究证据。本研究旨在调查可能影响北欧国家临床公共环境中放射技师循证实践发展的因素。方法对四个北欧国家的 640 名放射技师进行了在线调查。结果 日常工作中的反思方法和对当前研究证据的了解是放射技师发展循证实践的重要促进因素(OR ≥ 3.10, p < 0.001)。与同事和管理人员讨论研究与参与证据利用相关(OR 7.21,p < 0.001)。结论放射技师在诊断成像中执行医疗保健时采取批判性方法,以及发展他们的学术技能以提高对现有研究证据的认识,是放射学循证实践发展的重要因素。领导力对于放射技师参与循证实践的发展至关重要。对实践的启示研究结果为发展学习文化、积极主动和以人为本的领导力以及提供研究基础设施的战略管理提供了建议,所有这些都有助于进一步整合放射学中的循证实践。此外,研究结果还表明,共同承担责任对于建立影像诊断领域的重要奖学金非常重要。
