Abstract/Notes

Objective: To determine the perceptions and experiences of chiropractic students on the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) during their clinical practicum at a teaching clinic in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Methods: A qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive design was utilized, interviewing 14 clinically active chiropractic master’s students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain data, which were stored electronically and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were then coded and analyzed into relevant themes and subthemes and thereafter interpreted.

Results: Four main themes were identified: (1) the perceptions and necessity regarding the roles of EBP, (2) undergraduate education and its role in the implementation of EBP, (3) the importance of clinical experience in the implementation of EBP, (4) implementation of EBP.

Conclusion:Students held positive perceptions regarding EBP and believed training at the institution provided a solid foundation. However, there is much to be done in the current chiropractic curriculum to increase the efficiency of the implementation of EBP given that a lack of training in multiple aspects was identified and the challenges faced could be forestalled by implementing the suggested measures of improvement.
