Evidence-based Practice Exposure and Physiotherapy Students' Behaviour during Clinical Placements: A Survey

Abstract

An association between the level of EBP exposure and physiotherapy students' EBP behaviour was found for elements such as asking and searching, ability to search for and critically appraise research evidence, and experience of critical appraisal as a barrier. Further research need to explore strategies for EBP exposure throughout the curriculum, regarding content, timing, amount and type of training.
