Brief Summary
|
This study aims to assess the knowledge, awareness, and adherence to evidence-based practices (EBPs) among physiotherapists in India. Evidence-based practices are crucial for providing high-quality patient care, but their adoption can vary widely due to multiple factors, including educational background, clinical experience, and access to current research. Through a nationwide survey, this study seeks to gather data on how well physiotherapists understand and apply EBPs in their clinical settings. The survey also explores the barriers and facilitators influencing the use of EBPs, such as availability of resources, organizational support, and ongoing professional development opportunities. The findings will help identify gaps in knowledge and practice and suggest strategies for enhancing the integration of evidence-based practices in physiotherapy in India. Ultimately, the goal is to improve patient outcomes by promoting a more consistent and informed approach to physiotherapy care across the country. |
