“…The intersection of EBP elements was evident throughout the discussion of treatment sessions, care planning, and goal setting, but the primacy of patient values and preferences was a core concept. There is extensive literature on EBP engagement among allied health clinicians, the majority of which examines the use of scientific research in clinical practice (Abu Bakar et al, 2016;. The current study provides a contrasting view of EBP, one in which the patient is the primary focus of decision-making.…”

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a foundational approach to clinical decision-making that integrates scientific research; clinical expertise; and patient preferences, values and circumstances. The purpose of this study was to explore the intersection of the three elements of EBP among an interdisciplinary stroke rehabilitation team. An exploratory qualitative descriptive design was used to examine the intersection of elements through a focus group with the allied health members of an interdisciplinary stroke rehabilitation team. Thematic analysis was applied to the data. Three main themes were developed: the patient as the driver, EBP as a fluid process, and EBP as a collaborative team process. While all three elements intersected during care planning, patient preferences, values, and circumstances were the dominant influence in decision-making. EBP was a dynamic process changing over time and context. Collaboration with the patient and between health professionals was an integral part of the approach. Results demonstrated that EBP is a complex and iterative process. Clinicians require skills in integrating each of the three elements for successful application of EBP in stroke rehabilitation.

“…8 EBP should be an integral part of training of medical doctors, allied health professionals, and complementary and alternative (CAM) health care providers. 9 Health care professionals are responsible for providing evidence supporting or rejecting the use of specific interventions and validation for practice methodologies. 10 Current perspectives on faculty development in EBP in medical education include the need to ground that development in a theoretical framework, to implement structured activities to support collaborative learning and knowledge sharing, and to promote scholarship.…”

Objective: To assess the self-perceived importance, skills, and utilization of evidence-based practice (EBP) among faculty and students at a chiropractic institution without a structured EBP program. The survey also evaluated EBP satisfaction among students and EBP implementation barriers/facilitators among the faculty. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a set of organized questionnaires to assess the importance of EBP and self-perceived skills, utilization, barriers, and facilitators for faculty members, and student satisfaction was administered to the students and faculty of a chiropractic institution in February–March 2016. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate responses. Results: A total of 417 (60.1%) students and 27 (60.0%) faculty members completed the survey. Faculty members' and students' EBP importance values were similar (8.4 and 8.3 out of 10, respectively), but faculty members self-reported their EBP skills (7.3/10) at a higher level than the student self-reported skill level (6.1/10). For utilization, students reported a higher utilization of EBP than that reported by the responding faculty members. Perceived student satisfaction on the quality and content of research-related experiences decreased from the first year to the third (final) year. Conclusion: This study found variance in the self-perceived EBP skills, utilization, barriers, and facilitators and that these skills are lagging at our doctor of chiropractic program, which does not have a structured EBP program. Faculty members and students identified the importance for EBP. Similar observations have been found at other chiropractic institutions prior to their implementation of a systematic EBP program. Those developing an EBP curriculum might use these findings to better design, implement, and assess a structured program.
