Although researchers have examined barriers to implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) at the level of the individual, little is known about the effects workplaces have on speech-language pathologists' implementation of EBP. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of workplace factors on the use of EBP amongst speech-language pathologists who work with children with Autism Spectrum D...

BACKGROUND Evidence-based practice (EBP) is emphasized to increase the quality of care and patient safety. EBP is often described as a process consisting of distinct activities including, formulating questions, searching for information, compiling the appraised information, implementing evidence, and evaluating the resulting practice. To increase registered nurses' (RNs') practice of EBP, varia...

This paper presents the results of experiments that determine the chromosomal location of the mouse gene encoding CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) and measure its expression as a function of tissue type and temporal period of development in mice and rats. Three alleles of the C/EBP gene were identified according to restriction fragment length polymorphisms. The strain distribution pattern...

BACKGROUND Research into chiropractors' use of evidence in clinical practice appears limited to a single small qualitative study. The paucity of research in this area suggests that it is timely to undertake a more extensive study to build a more detailed understanding of the factors that influence chiropractors' adoption of evidence-based practice (EBP) principles. This study aimed to identify ...

e vIDeNCe-BASeD PRACTICe (eBP) is a process that utilizes the best available evidence, expert opinion, and patient preference to guide clinical practice decisions. Although the process itself is relatively straightforward and understandable (See Five Steps of evidence-Based Practice), implementation requires an infrastructure and knowledge base that can support all five steps of the eBP process...

AIM The implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) is extremely important and plays a vital role in healthcare practice. There have been few studies concerning the level of healthcare provided to patients in Saudi Arabia, using EBP as an indicator. This study is aimed at investigating physiotherapists' behaviour, attitudes, awareness and knowledge about EBP, along with barriers that curb t...

BACKGROUND There are an increasing number of studies reporting the efficacy of educational strategies to facilitate the development of knowledge and skills underpinning evidence based practice (EBP). To date there is no standardised guideline for describing the teaching, evaluation, context or content of EBP educational strategies. The heterogeneity in the reporting of EBP educational intervent...

Aplysia CCAAT enhancer-binding protein (ApC/EBP), a key molecular switch in 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced long-term facilitation of Aplysia, is quickly and transiently expressed in response to a 5-HT stimulus, but the mechanism underlying this dynamic expression profile remains obscure. Here, we report that the dynamic expression of ApC/EBP during long-term facilitation is regulated at the...

As an approach to understanding physiological mechanisms that control the proliferation of highly differentiated cells, we are addressing whether certain hepatic transcription factors participate in mechanisms that control the growth of hepatocytes. We have focused on CCAAT enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP alpha), a transcription factor which is highly abundant in normal liver and is considered ...

CONTEXT The shift to a culture of evidence-based practice (EBP) in athletic training is a necessary step in both the optimization of patient care and the advancement of athletic trainers (ATs) as health care professionals. Whereas individuals have gained knowledge in this area, most ATs still are not practicing in an evidence-based manner. Exploring perceived strategies to enhance the use of EB...
