Methods:The study was a descriptive correlation study with cross sectional approach and conducted at Siloam Hospitals, Kebun Jeruk, in October 2012, The sample consist of 105 nurses working in Siloam Hospitals and were selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The instrument, Evidence Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ) D (Upton Upton), which comprise 24 questions to identify knowledge, skills and nurse attitude towards evidencebased practice (Scale 1-7), was used in this research. Results: The study found that 20 (19.1%) nurses have poor competence, 56 (53.3%) nurses have a moderate competence and 29 (27.6%) nurses have good competence in applying EBP. There was a significant correlation between level of education with competence to apply EBP (p value ¼ 0.006) (< IˆAE ¼ 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:Although BFR seems to improve single-leg balance with EO and EC, given the small sample size of this study and the period between assessments, it appears at this point cycling with BFR is not specific enough to cause changes in single leg balance, or a bigger sample size would be needed to detect differences. Future research should explore the use of BFR with other modalities more specific at improving balance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
