Abstract

Introduction: Comprehending scientific information have been reported as a barrier in evidence-based practice (EBP) adoption. This survey research aimed to verify the preferred sources of information for acquiring knowledge about physiotherapy and the association between types of information source and barriers in EBP implementation.

Methods: A total of 610 physiotherapists were included and answered an online questionnaire about the preferred sources for searching physiotherapy-related information and possible barriers in EBP implementation.

Results: Physiotherapists reported scientific resources as the preferred source of information, scientific databases (31%), followed by scientific articles (25%). The main barrier cited in EBP implementation was the difficulty in obtaining full-text articles (34%), followed by lack of statistical knowledge (30%). The use of peer-reviewed resources as the most preferred source of information is associated with the presence of issues in comprehending scientific information.

Discussion: Although the positive attitude toward the use of scientific information, the findings raised question regarding the proper translation of scientific information to clinical practice. The importance of scientific information seems to be a well-established attitude among physiotherapists. However, there is a clear need for strategies aiming to improve the understanding of scientific information and consequently facilitate EBP implementation.

物理治疗师在哪里搜索信息?将科学信息转化为临床实践的障碍。
介绍:据报道,理解科学信息是采用循证实践(EBP)的一个障碍。本调查研究旨在验证物理治疗师获取物理治疗知识的首选信息来源,以及信息来源类型与循证医学实践实施障碍之间的关联:方法:共纳入了 610 名物理治疗师,他们回答了关于搜索物理治疗相关信息的首选来源以及 EBP 实施过程中可能存在的障碍的在线问卷:物理治疗师报告称,首选的信息来源是科学资源、科学数据库(31%),其次是科学文章(25%)。实施 EBP 的主要障碍是难以获得全文文章(34%),其次是缺乏统计知识(30%)。使用同行评审资源作为最首选的信息来源与理解科学信息方面存在的问题有关:讨论:尽管人们对使用科学信息持积极态度,但研究结果提出了将科学信息适当转化为临床实践的问题。科学信息的重要性似乎已成为物理治疗师的既定态度。然而,显然有必要制定相关策略,以提高物理治疗师对科学信息的理解,从而促进 EBP 的实施。
