Understanding Veterinary Practitioners' Decision-Making Process: Implications for Veterinary Medical Education

Abstract: Understanding how veterinary practitioners make clinical decisions, and how they use scientific information to inform their decisions, is important to optimize animal care, client satisfaction, and veterinary education. We aimed to develop an understanding of private practitioners' process of decision making. On the basis of a grounded-theory qualitative approach, we conducted a telephone survey and semi-structured face-to-face interviews. We identified a decision-making framework consisting of two possible pr… Show more

“…The methodologies used to research veterinary practitioners' decision making include inductive approaches whereby conclusions were drawn from thematic coding of face-to-face interviews and telephone surveys (Vandeweerd et al 2012;Mateus et al 2014). Some of the published research also consists of literature reviews, published commentaries and expert opinion on the topic and therefore offer opportunities for further exploration, rather than definitive conclusions based on empirical research.…”

“…The aforementioned authors merely present ideas based on improvements to client engagement and possible improvements to business due to better clinical outcomes. Studies investigating decision making in veterinarians found that often the business aspect does not feature in a veterinarian's decision-making process and that EBVM is seen as one of many options to make clinical decisions (Vandeweerd et al 2012;Mateus et al 2014).…”

“…Comme en médecine humaine, les praticiens sont en général très occupés et disposent de peu de temps entre les consultations pour rechercher la littérature scientifique. Il est bien souvent plus simple de téléphoner à un collègue en espé-rant que celui-ci dispose de l'information utile (Perley, 2006 ;Alpi et al, 2009 ;Vandeweerd et al, 2012b). Les bases de données bibliographiques ne sont pas toujours non plus accessibles gratuitement pour les praticiens.…”

“…Il s'agit de documenter le problème, exprimer les options, envisager leurs conséquences, intégrer les preuves scientifiques, optimiser les résultats et les valeurs. Ce processus lent est peu utilisé dans la pratique mais il est utile de s'y former pour conceptualiser la démarche décisionnelle (Vandeweerd et al, 2012b …”

“…Principalement, les praticiens ont en général trop peu de temps pour pouvoir, au cours ou entre les consultations, rechercher la littérature scientifique adéquate et l'analyser. Une enquête récente, menée auprès de 200 praticiens vétérinaires francophones de Belgique (Vandeweerd et al 2012b), montre que 64 % d'entre eux contactent préférentiellement des collègues, 84 % des spécialistes, 85 % des laboratoires et 68 % l'internet pour mieux prendre une décision. Seulement 2.5 % signalent utiliser PubMed et 19 % être capable d'effectuer une recherche dans cette base de donnée bibliographique scientifique.…”
