Resumen

Antecedentes: La práctica basada en la evidencia (EBP) ha sido ampliamente implementada en diferentes áreas de fisioterapia. Sin embargo, pocos estudios han investigado las barreras relacionadas con la PEB entre los fisioterapeutas latinoamericanos que trabajan en la atención primaria. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue describir el estado actual con respecto al compromiso de barreras percibidas en la EBP entre la fisioterapia en Colombia. Un objetivo secundario fue identificar los factores asociados con las barreras para la implementación del PEB. El estudio involucró a fisioterapeutas que trabajaban en hospitales públicos y privados, que fueron contactados a través de redes profesionales (Email, Facebook®, ResearchGate® y Linked-In®) e invitados a participar. Se utilizaron la regresión logística múltiple (CRM) y el análisis de la correspondencia múltiple (ACM) para examinar los factores asociados con las barreras percibidas para incluir la PEB en su trabajo. Cuarenta y un por ciento de los encuestados indicaron que la "falta de habilidades de investigación" era la barrera más importante para que las pruebas se usaran en la práctica. El análisis de MLR sugirió que varias variables estaban asociadas con las barreras percibidas para incluir la PEB: por ejemplo, las horas de trabajo por semana, el papel principal actual en el centro de terapia y el grado universitario. El modelo de MCA estableció dos grupos de similitudes en cuanto a las diferentes barreras; la "falta de comprensión del análisis estadístico","tiempo insuficiente" y "comprensión del inglés en el que se escriben los artículos" se ponderaron más las barreras en el primer grupo (el segundo factor sobre MCA) y las demás barreras en el segundo grupo (primer factor sobre MCA).CONCLUSIONES: Aunque la mayoría de los fisioterapeutas tienen una opinión positiva sobre la PEB, consideran que necesitan mejorar sus conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes hacia la PEB. Las iniciativas para hacer avanzar la PBE en Colombia sin tradición académica o investigadora deberían centrarse principalmente en factores a nivel de los profesionales.
