“…./ the hospital spent £16,000 on soft ware which could scan questionnaires electronically, to help with the analysis of the audit sheets, but the person who purchased the equipment did not understand the remit of audit and so it can't be used with our existing system.'' This supports Tobin & Judd's (4,5) conclusions, that the ownership of the values underpinning audit is one of the key factors to success.…”

This ethnographic study using a social constructionist framework explored how a team of physiotherapists in a National Health Service hospital negotiated the impact of the visit from the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection on their practice. All observations were followed up in a process of critical reflection with the therapists, in which taken-for-granted assumptions were challenged. A systematic recognized qualitative analysis was carried out. The activities related to audit, patient satisfaction and continuing professional development were the most representative of how the visit impinged upon and contributed to the team's practice. A process of persuasion, by the senior, was revealed of the benefits of the visit to the team. Several innovations decreased the threat of, what the juniors saw as, surveillance and replaced it with activities of inclusive growth. The preparations unearthed tensions between the delivery of a service to patients and the time given to continuing professional development. Charismatic leadership in physiotherapy was seen to be necessary in this study to bring about a change in practice and the strategies evident in this team could be useful to the profession generally. The key to this change is to foster conversations between the members to break down barriers and develop a shared vision, and together create purposeful action.

“…Worldwide, several studies investigated the importance of research perception and attitudes towards research, participation levels, intentions and the barriers involved in research among physical therapists [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. In general, these studies showed that physical therapists consider research as being of vital importance to the profession [ 3 , 6 , 7 ].…”

“…The most commonly reported barriers to physical therapy research, however, were lack of time and funding, a high work load, and unfamiliarity with research procedures and statistics [ 3 , 6 , 9 , 10 ]. These findings were equally recognized by other health care professions [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Objectives: The objectives of this descriptive study were to investigate the attitudes and perceptions of physical therapists regarding research, the intention to engage in research and the barriers to participating in research amongst physical therapists in the State of Kuwait. Subjects and Methods: A previously validated questionnaire was distributed to 200 non-randomly selected physical therapists. The questionnaire gathered demographic data as well as information regarding research-related activities. Descriptive statistics, frequency and χ² analyses were used in this study. Results: Of the 200 questionnaires distributed to physical therapists 122 (61%) were completed and returned. The physical therapists had a positive attitude towards reading these findings in order to update their knowledge. However, only 16 (17%) of the physical therapists participated in clinical research. The common reasons given were: minimal role and reduced ability, intention and level of engagement in initiating research, probably due to work overload, time constraints and limited access to resources. Conclusions: Physical therapists in Kuwait had a positive attitude towards the application of research findings to their practice. However, they were not confident in initiating research due to work overload and lack of time as well as limited access to library resources. Therefore, we recommend stimulation to engage in research activities to be a requirement and to develop a system to improve the skills and knowledge of doing research.

“…Lack of time was found to be the greatest barrier for reading as well as for introducing changes into practice. Tobin and Judd (1999) interviewed ten physiotherapists who had participated in a low back pain audit, and again, lack of time was mentioned as a hindering factor to audit activity. Further support for time as a barrier can be found in studies from occupational therapy and nursing research (Taylor and Mitchell, 1990;Nilsson Kajermo et al, 2000;Retsas, 2000).…”
