Summary
Implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) in prosthetics and orthotics requires understanding various factors. A strategic model can improve EBP adoption by clinicians, enhancing patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Prosthetics and Orthotics
- Healthcare Implementation Science
Background:
- Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
- Successful EBP implementation in prosthetics and orthotics (P&O) lacks clear understanding.
- Factors influencing EBP adoption in P&O are complex and varied.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify factors influencing EBP adoption in P&O.
- To present a theoretical framework for EBP implementation in P&O.
Main Methods:
- Discussion of factors affecting EBP adoption.
- Presentation of a translating research into practice model.
Main Results:
- EBP adoption is influenced by individual, administrative, and environmental factors.
- Implementation success depends on how EBP is introduced.
- Numerous interrelated factors must be considered for successful EBP implementation.
Conclusions:
- A theoretical model can enhance EBP adoption among P&O clinicians.
- Strategic planning is essential for successful EBP implementation.
- Failure to plan strategically may hinder EBP adoption.
