临床有效性（CE）和循证实践（EBP）是现代医疗保健的基石。虽然许多研究探讨了个人的专业态度和感知知识，很少有专业群体之间的这些因素进行比较，特别是在联合卫生专业（AHP）和健康科学服务（HSS）。我们报告了一项研究，比较了14个不同的专业团体的知识和实践，从层次分析法和HSS的EBP和CE。目的是突出14个专业群体之间的差异沿着这些群体的需求。一项邮寄问卷调查是由随机抽样的1,000名成员的AHP和HSS在英国各地完成的。有显着差异的专业群体，一般来说，专业人士从HSS组评级他们的知识和应用CE和EBP低于成员的AHP。还注意到个别专业群体之间的差异。例如，足科医生，放射技师和骨科医生报告说，CE和EBP的知识比物理治疗师，职业治疗师，营养师，言语和语言治疗师和心理学家少。实施EBP的障碍对所有群体来说都是相似的，缺乏时间和资金被认为是主要问题。记录了职业之间的一些差异，突出了教育和政策方法的差异，需要更多的EBP吸收。
Clinical effectiveness (CE) and evidence-based practice (EBP) are the cornerstone of modern-day health care. Although many studies have explored attitudes and perceived knowledge of individual professions, few have compared these factors between professional groups, especially in the allied health professions (AHP) and health science services (HSS). We report a study comparing the knowledge and practice of 14 different professional groups from the AHP and HSS in terms of EBP and CE. The aim was to highlight any differences between the 14 professional groups along with the needs of the groups. A postal questionnaire survey was completed by a random sample of 1,000 members of AHP and HSS across the United Kingdom. There were significant differences between professional groups with, in general, professionals from the HSS groups rating their knowledge and application of CE and EBP as lower than members of the AHP. Differences were also noted between individual professional groups. For example, podiatrists, radiographers, and orthoptists reported having less knowledge of CE and EBP than physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, speech and language therapists, and psychologists. Barriers to implementing EBP were similar for all groups, with lack of both time and money cited as the main issues. A number of differences between professions were recorded that highlight the difference in educational and policy approach required for greater uptake of EBP.
