Abstract

Objective: To determine the perceptions and experiences of chiropractic students on the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) during their clinical practicum at a teaching clinic in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Methods: A qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive design was utilized, interviewing 14 clinically active chiropractic master's students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain data, which were stored electronically and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were then coded and analyzed into relevant themes and subthemes and thereafter interpreted.

Results: Four main themes were identified: (1) the perceptions and necessity regarding the roles of EBP, (2) undergraduate education and its role in the implementation of EBP, (3) the importance of clinical experience in the implementation of EBP, (4) implementation of EBP.

Conclusion: Students held positive perceptions regarding EBP and believed training at the institution provided a solid foundation. However, there is much to be done in the current chiropractic curriculum to increase the efficiency of the implementation of EBP given that a lack of training in multiple aspects was identified and the challenges faced could be forestalled by implementing the suggested measures of improvement.

脊医学生在教学诊所实习期间对循证实践的认知与体会。

目的：了解南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省某教学诊所捏脊学生在临床实习期间对循证实践（EBP）的认知和体验。方法：采用定性、探索性和描述性设计，对14名临床活跃的捏脊硕士生进行访谈。进行了半结构化访谈以获取数据，这些数据以电子方式存储并逐字记录。然后将抄本编码并分析为相关主题和次级主题，然后进行解释。结果：确定了四个主要主题：(1)对EBP作用的认识和必要性；(2)本科教育及其在实施EBP中的作用；(3)临床经验在实施EBP中的重要性；(4)实施EBP。结论：学生对EBP有积极的看法，认为在学校的培训提供了坚实的基础。然而，鉴于在多个方面缺乏培训，目前的脊医课程在提高实施EBP的效率方面还有很多工作要做，并且可以通过实施建议的改进措施来预防所面临的挑战。
