Research from upper-income countries has revealed the difficulties occupational therapists experience in implementing evidence-based practice (EBP). This thesis investigated the state of EBP in occupational therapy in South Africa and evaluated the effectiveness of two EBP educational interventions. The research consisted of three linked studies: a national cross-sectional survey of 436 registered occupational therapists; the development of a questionnaire and audit checklist to evaluate EBP knowledge, attitudes and behaviour; and a randomised controlled trial that tested whether an interactive educational intervention (IE) was more effective than a didactic one (DE) for improving EBP knowledge, attitudes and behaviour in occupational therapists. 2014-12-27T13:57:27Z 2014-12-27T13:57:27Z 2011 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10185 eng application/pdf Division of Occupational Therapy Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
