However, how this competency is enacted in practice remains unclear. RTs, like many health professionals, encounter challenges in enacting EIP and are influenced by individual, contextual, and organizational factors. As part of a broader program of research, our team conceptualized EIP in respiratory therapy as comprising three interrelated components: reflective practice, shared decision-making, and research awareness. In this study, we examined the current knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of RTs in Canada related to these three core components of EIP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;We surveyed credentialed RTs across Canada to assess their knowledge, attitudes and behaviours relating to three components of EIP: reflective practice, shared decision-making, and research awareness. Participants were randomly assigned to complete one of three surveys, each of which related to one of the components. We used a simple-randomized, stratified sampling to enhance generalizability, and analyzed the data using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and exploratory analyses of demographic and practice-related variables. We analyzed open-ended responses using qualitative content analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The three surveys were accessed 442 times. After removing non-responses and incomplete data, we analyzed the data from 288 participants (response rate = 10.2%). Out of the possible 100 score, shared decision-making yielded the highest mean knowledge score (&lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt; = 86.4, SD = 6.4), while research awareness scored highest for attitudes (&lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt; = 81.4, &lt;i&gt;SD&lt;/i&gt; = 13.4) and behaviours (&lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt; = 78.3, &lt;i&gt;SD&lt;/i&gt; = 10.4).
