Objective: This study aimed to explore the profile of evidence-practice implementation and its associated factors among Indonesian Physiotherapists in Jakarta and the surrounding area, Indonesia. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional design and a proportional sampling technique used to calculate the minimum sample as population representative. Twenty-one public and private hospitals and around 104 full-time registered Physiotherapists participated in this study. The study adopted the instruments which have been established to investigate the attitude of Physiotherapists towards Evidence-Based Practice which was developed by Jette (2013). Univariate analysis and logistic regression were employed to see if there are significant relationships between the predictors and outcome. Results: The participants in this study were less than 40 years (61.5%). Participants have been recognized as having worked in the field of physiotherapy with a duration of fewer than ten years (43.3%). For educational background, the participants who certified as Bachelor of Applied Science (B.Sc) was 21.2%. The results revealed the association between predictors and EBP implementation. Physiotherapists who admit that they were doing self-learning in seeking information and other additional more likely to have a positive attitude towards EBP (OR=1.472). Similarly, working in physiotherapy for more than ten years was positively associated with EBP implementation (OR = 1.009). Conclusion: In general, self intention to develop their skill and their knowledge on EBP and also the duration of working as physiotherapists were contributed to influencing the attitude of physiotherapists toward Evidence-Based Practice. In future studies, the understanding level of EBP terms should be distinguished. Hence, it could differentiate the physiotherapists from the low-level to the high-level according to their understanding of EBP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
