Abstract
Abstract: Aim: To study evidence-based practice among physiotherapists working with children having Cerebral Palsy. Background and purpose: The objective of this study was to identify, evaluate, and propose effective approaches for physiotherapists in aiding children with cerebral palsy in developing their motor skills. This research delves into the attitudes, knowledge, and challenges in acquiring and evaluating the evidence. This research aimed to gather research results on the effectiveness of current evidence-based practice (EBP) interventions in physiotherapy to facilitate enhancements in the implementation of EBP quality and uniformity. Method: The research involved physiotherapists employed in various sectors such as government, non-government organizations, rehabilitation centers, rehabilitation institutes, hospitals, medical colleges, and the National Institute. A total of 40 physiotherapists took part in the study. The study utilized a computer-assisted survey to gather data from a random sample of physiotherapists who work with children diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Result: According to the survey results, the importance of utilizing evidence in clinical practice was acknowledged by 94.6% of participants. Additionally, 83% of respondents stated that evidence-based practices were beneficial. A significant 92% of participants expressed the need to enhance their utilization of evidence in their daily practice. On the other hand, 58.33% of participants believe that interventions lacking evidence are currently being implemented in practice. Conclusion: Most physiotherapists have identified a deficiency in search engine training related to evidence-based practice. They have expressed a strong desire to acquire knowledge and apply clinical practice guidelines for treating children with cerebral palsy.
