“…whereas the negative aspects included the observation that the design of studies was not always reflective of usual clinical practice (Bampton et al, 2012). In the present study, the PTs were involved in the planning and partly designed the intervention themselves, which could contribute to a positive attitude towards being involved in a research project.…”

“…Both positive and negative perceptions about involvement in the research process have previously been reported by PTs involved in delivering the intervention in a randomized trial (Bampton et al, ). The positive aspects included “a way of providing evidence for practice,” whereas the negative aspects included the observation that the design of studies was not always reflective of usual clinical practice (Bampton et al, ). In the present study, the PTs were involved in the planning and partly designed the intervention themselves, which could contribute to a positive attitude towards being involved in a research project.…”

Objective The recent increase in physiotherapy research has led to more physiotherapists being involved in research. Consequently, leaders must make a standpoint on whether the department should engage in research, whereas individual physiotherapists have to decide if they want to play an active role in carrying out a research project. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions and experiences of both participating physiotherapists and their leaders regarding taking part in clinical physiotherapy research projects. Methods A qualitative study using face‐to‐face interviews was conducted. All (n = 8) leaders were interviewed individually. Physiotherapists (n = 18) were interviewed either individually (n = 5) or in small groups including two to three persons (n = 13). The interviews were analysed using inductive conventional content analysis. Results There was a consensus that engagement of the leaders was a prerequisite for entering research projects and that the research had to be in line with the department's regular assignment. For the physiotherapists, the key factors for success were having designated time and having support from their leader, especially when feelings of responsibility became overwhelming. The leaders stressed the importance of being well informed. Participating in clinical research created value such as personal and professional growth for the physiotherapists, who also inspired their colleagues and thus positively affected the organization. Engaging in research contributed to being an attractive employer and gave a boost to evidence‐based practice. Conclusion The study provides perspectives from leaders and physiotherapists on engaging in research. There was a consensus that participating in a research project was beneficial for the organization, the individual physiotherapist, and the patients. However, clinical applicability, support, sufficient time, and early involvement of leaders are significant prerequisites.

“…Four mixed methods studies were included and were judged to meet the protocol's inclusion criteria for the population of interest (16, 17,26,32). Only two studies used an intervention which would meet the protocol's inclusion criteria of engagement in research (16,17). None of the four studies used a study type incorporated within the protocol's inclusion criteria; however, these studies were included following the decision to broaden the inclusion criteria (16, 17,26,32).…”

Background Existing evidence suggests that clinician and organisation engagement in research can improve healthcare performance. However, current evidence has considered the relationship across all healthcare professions collectively. With the increase in allied health professional (AHP) clinical academic and research activity, it is imperative for healthcare organisations, leaders and managers to understand research engagement within these specific clinical fields. This systematic review aims to examine the value of research engagement by allied health professionals and organisations on healthcare performance. Methods This systematic review had a two-stage search strategy. Firstly, the papers from a previous systematic review examining the effect of research engagement in healthcare were screened to identify relevant papers published pre-2012. Secondly, a multi-database search was used to update the previous review but with a specific focus on allied health to identify publications from 2012 to date. Studies which explored the value of allied health research engagement on healthcare performance were included. All stages of the review were conducted by two reviewers independently, plus documented discussions with the wider research team when discrepancies occurred. Each study was assessed using the appropriate critical appraisal tool developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Results Twenty-two studies were included, of which six were ranked as high importance. This sample comprised mixed research designs. Overall, the findings indicated positive improvements in processes of care. The review also identified the most common mechanisms which may link research engagement with improvements to processes of care. Conclusion This landmark review is the first benchmark of evidence that explicitly shows improved processes of care and outcomes from AHP research engagement. The lack of transparent reporting of AHP research engagement highlights the need for clear recommendations in the design of future prospective studies. These proposals specifically include greater transparency in relation to AHP involvement, mechanisms and types of research engagement. The inclusion of these aspects as an integral component of future intervention study designs may contribute essential evidence of the value and impact of AHP research engagement. Trial registration: This systematic review protocol was registered with the international prospective register of systematic reviews, PROSPERO (registration number CRD42021253461).

Clinical physiotherapists had both positive and negative perceptions about delivering two different interventions in a clinical trial: a mixed methods study

Abstract: Clinical physiotherapists had both positive and negative perceptions about delivering two different interventions in a clinical trial. However, they were all interested in participating in future research, suggesting that the positive aspects outweighed the negative.
