“…The constructs assess learners’ attitudes and satisfaction including students’ performance and usefulness of blended learning tools ( Daskalakis & Tselios, 2013 ). Students’ satisfaction with their achieved knowledge and skills is a construct measured for stakeholders’ satisfaction ( Hasani, et.al, 2020 ).…”

Objectives Online teaching methods are used to identify the effectiveness of blended learning. The present study aimed to evaluate the attitudes and satisfaction of health sciences students in Saudi Arabia towards blended learning. Methods The study used mixed research approach by recruiting students from academic year 2017–2019. Phenomenography technique were used to examine the qualitative data for research. Results The instrument was a valid measurement outcome for blended learning courses. Students generally preferred team-based learning rather than face-to-face lectures, which serves as a collaborative learning pedagogy. A high positive attitude and motivation was revealed among the students with respect to the blended model in teaching the research course. Conclusion The attitude and satisfaction of students seemed to play a vital role in teaching and learning outcomes. Moreover, it was found that the e-learning tools provided flexible learning environment to the students, regardless of location and time zone.

“…An increased number of working hours not only directly or indirectly affect the quality of rehabilitation therapy [29], but also contribute to a high risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders [30]. Therefore, better treatment should be started from sufficient time to access the research database and literature review at work [31]. in this study, a higher educational background was significantly associated with a positive impact on EBP.…”

Introduction. This study aimed to identify whether sociodemographic factors of physiotherapists had a significant effect on attitudes toward, education, skills, barriers to, and clinical applications of evidence-based practice (EBP) in South Korea. Methods. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 971 physiotherapists working in the clinical field. The survey was performed online by using a Google form. Results. Among the sociodemographic characteristics, age, educational background, and working experience had a significant effect on EBP attitude, education, and skills, while age, educational background, type of facility, patients per day, and number of physiotherapists at the facility had a significant effect on the EBP barrier. in addition, socio-demographic factors such as gender, age, and educational background exerted a significant impact on EBP clinical application. Conclusions. These findings suggest that sociodemographic factors of physiotherapists can influence the EBP attitudes, education, skills, barriers, and clinical applications. Therefore, it is necessary to develop various educational programmes that deal with EBP components and procedures in physiotherapy. in addition, extensive support and resources from institutions may help to improve the quality of physiotherapy in health care and medical fields.

Background: Evidence based practice (EBP) is widely used by cardiopulmonary physical therapists worldwide. Therefore, it is important to identify whether the therapists have the required knowledge, skills and resources in order to deliver the best evidence-based practice. Objectives: The main objective of this cross-sectional study is to analyse the self-reported characteristics of behaviour, knowledge, skills and resources, opinion and barriers related to evidence-based practice among cardiopulmonary physical therapists of United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods: An electronic questionnaire was circulated among 60 licensed cardiopulmonary physical therapists, of either gender, practicing in UAE with a minimum experience of 1 year via e-mail. The response was further subjected to descriptive analysis. Results: The rate of response was 55% (33/60). The physical therapists of cardiopulmonary disciple reported that they understand the term Evidence Based Practice and frequently update themselves through scientific papers obtained via accessing various databases. Respondents also believe that the exposure in undergraduate or postgraduate course was not sufficient. However, they were also satisfied with amount of discussions taking place regarding EBP at their work place. The barriers commonly reported were difficulty in obtaining full-text papers, lack of time and lack of evidence-based training. Conclusion: Thus, concluding that physical therapists from UAE who practiced in cardiopulmonary subdiscipline believe that they have knowledge and skills to use evidence-based practice. Although, they have favourable opinions regarding its application and they still encounter difficulties in implementing it successfully.
