Abstract :
Background: The primary reason for the importance of
evidence-based practice is that it relates to the most
successful treatment possible to achieve long-term
results. According to research, newly qualified
practitioners (NQPs) can enter areas of clinical practice
where evidence-based approaches are difficult or
ineffective because some barriers are limiting them from
applying EBP.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the
barriers faced by novice occupational therapists in
implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) in their
clinical practice.
Method: The research design used in the qualitative
study is phenomenology. Participants in the study are
novice occupational therapists who have worked in
clinics or health facilities for less than 2-3 years and
understand and use Evidence-Based Practice (EBP).
Data collection approaches include in-depth interviews,
documentation via capturing sound throughout the
interview process, and thematic analysis used to analyze
the data.
Results: The study discovered that there are two main
factors influencing the implementation of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP), which include individual and
organizational factors. Additionally, the study identified
barriers to implementing EBP among novice therapists,
such as a lack of knowledge and skills, client perception,
and workplace and resource constraints.
Conclusion: The result of this study, revealed many
barriers faced by novice therapists, such as lack of
knowledge, confidence, and skills, as well as challenges
related to client's perception, workplace support, and
resource availability.
