“…Time constraints have been identified as one barrier to incorporating clinical research into day-to-day practice (Funabashi, Warren, & Kawshuk, 2012;Grimmer-Somers et al, 2007), and it is the leader's responsibility to obviate this barrier. It has been reported that organizations whose cultures support learning and skill development also use research results in clinical practice (Dannapfel, Peolsson, & Nilsen, 2013;Sellars & Clouder, 2011).…”

Objective The recent increase in physiotherapy research has led to more physiotherapists being involved in research. Consequently, leaders must make a standpoint on whether the department should engage in research, whereas individual physiotherapists have to decide if they want to play an active role in carrying out a research project. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions and experiences of both participating physiotherapists and their leaders regarding taking part in clinical physiotherapy research projects. Methods A qualitative study using face‐to‐face interviews was conducted. All (n = 8) leaders were interviewed individually. Physiotherapists (n = 18) were interviewed either individually (n = 5) or in small groups including two to three persons (n = 13). The interviews were analysed using inductive conventional content analysis. Results There was a consensus that engagement of the leaders was a prerequisite for entering research projects and that the research had to be in line with the department's regular assignment. For the physiotherapists, the key factors for success were having designated time and having support from their leader, especially when feelings of responsibility became overwhelming. The leaders stressed the importance of being well informed. Participating in clinical research created value such as personal and professional growth for the physiotherapists, who also inspired their colleagues and thus positively affected the organization. Engaging in research contributed to being an attractive employer and gave a boost to evidence‐based practice. Conclusion The study provides perspectives from leaders and physiotherapists on engaging in research. There was a consensus that participating in a research project was beneficial for the organization, the individual physiotherapist, and the patients. However, clinical applicability, support, sufficient time, and early involvement of leaders are significant prerequisites.

“…Fourth, majority of participants reported that there is necessity of quality assurance in physiotherapy and suggested that it should be made necessary for progress of physiotherapy education and increase confidence in their ability in the near future. Almost all participants reported confirmatory responses for maintaining academic standards and recommended that by introducing new techniques and some uniform rules could help in maintaining academic standards 13,14 . The quality assurance can improve theoretical and practical knowledge.…”

Objectives: To investigate the quality assurance system in Indian physiotherapy education. Design: A crosssectional survey with mixed method was employed in this research. Participants: Forty two participants were involved in the study and responded to a questionnaire. Seven participants out of the 42 were selected for video interview. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire and an audio or video interview technique were used for the data collection. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the questionnaire. A qualitative method was analyzed with content analysis. Results: The questionnaire result showed that hardly one-third of participants were aware about quality in general in the physiotherapy education. In the analysis of the interviews, four categories emerged: They indicated that awareness, skills, rating, and requirements related to quality seem to be important in developing quality assurance in physiotherapy. Conclusion: As a small scale study of quality assurance system, this study can contribute to develop an overall awareness of quality system in the Indian physiotherapy education. It can also contribute to the educational and professional life ahead by developing experience and updating the upcoming new physiotherapy researches. However, affirmative effects can also extend physiotherapists in advance.

“…First, critical reflection, as a program of learning, was found to contribute to learning within students and CIs by increasing a sense of validation, increasing empowerment, and broadening perspectives. [51][52][53] Second, Low 54 reported that utilizing a Web-based program that included reflective journaling and discussion boards provided a moderately positive learning experience that facilitated peerto-peer and student-to-professor communications. Finally, Wright's 55 study illustrated the value of student feedback to the CES in the assessment and improvement of the CE experience and CI performance.…”
