AU - Valentine, Thomas PY - 2007 DA - 2007/07/05 TI - The propensity to adopt evidence-based practice among physical therapists JO - BMC Health Services Research SP - 103 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Many authors, as well as the American Physical Therapy Association, advocate that physical therapists adopt practice patterns based on research evidence, known as evidence-based practice (EBP). At the same time, physical therapists should be capable of integrating EBP within the day-to-day practice of physical therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which personal characteristics and the characteristics of the social system in the workplace influence the propensity of physical therapists to adopt EBP.
