Evidence-Based Practice Confidence And Behavior Throughout The Curriculum Of Four Physical Therapy Education Programs: A Longitudinal Study, Wendy Romney, Nancy M. Salbach, Susan B. Perry, Judith E. Deutsch

Physical Therapy Faculty Publications

Background

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a foundational process taught in health professional education, yet it is unclear when EBP confidence and skills are obtained. Increases in EBP confidence and behaviors from the start of physical therapy programs to post graduation have been reported in studies that evaluated a single program or used non-valid questionnaires. This study aimed to describe changes in EBP confidence and behavior using validated questionnaires of students from four physical therapy education programs throughout their curriculum and one year post graduation.

Methods

One hundred and eighty-one students from a potential pool of 269 (67.3%) consented to participate. …
