Evidence-Based Practice, Physiotherapist.

BACKGROUND: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is 'the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient’s values. The practice of physiotherapy improves through EBP as it has been linked to better health outcomes in the patients as their needs are identified and incorporated into the tailored treatment plans. The study aimed to evaluate the awareness of the Evidence-Based Practice among the Physiotherapists in Jalgaon. METHOD: A survey based cross-sectional study was conducted among hundred and eight Physiotherapists in Jalgaon. Self-made questionnaire was distributed among the participants who were included in the study through personal contacts and mail. The responses were collected from the participants and then the results were calculated. RESULT: Majority of the participants were females (71.30%). The majority of the participants (44.40%) reported that they read 2 – 5 articles per month. 37.1% of the participants reported that they either never or rarely consulted literature and research findings for their clinical decision-making. 97.30% of the total participants reported that they are interested in using EBP in their practice. The majority of the total participants (64.80%) reported that insufficient time is their greatest barrier. Only 33.40% of the total participants of this study felt EBP is time-consuming and places a burden on them. CONCLUSION: Physiotherapists in Jalgaon have awareness of Evidence-Based Practice. Furthermore, the participants also have a positive attitude towards EBP. A majority of the respondents indicated an interest in adopting and implementing EBP in their clinical setup by understanding the perceived benefits with personal understanding, limitations, and barriers.
