Thesis (Ed.D.)--North Carolina State University, 1988.

This investigation was performed to describe the: (1) information accessing behavior of physical therapists, (2) nature and source of information that they access, and (3) possible determinants of their information accessing behavior. Subjects were 27 physical therapists who practiced more than 20 hours per week. They were interviewed by telephone using semi-structured, primarily open-ended questions. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. The transcriptions were coded for analysis.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This investigation was performed to describe the: (1) information accessing behavior of physical therapists, (2) nature and source of information that they access, and (3) possible determinants of their information accessing behavior. Subjects were 27 physical therapists who practiced more than 20 hours per week. They were interviewed by telephone using semi-structured, primarily open-ended questions. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. The transcriptions were coded for analysis.
520 $a Most therapists obtained information reactively or reactively and proactively. They used multiple methods (3-11) to obtain information. Twenty clinicians claimed to use reading to obtain information. Books and journals were usually read, but medical communications, patient protocols, school or course notes, and material from a company representative were also read. Interviewees were able to identify clinically useful books (mean = 3.1) and journals (mean = 2.1). Most of the clinicians had personal libraries and files containing reading material. Therapists relied heavily on other people for information. The chief category of people was other therapists at the work setting. Interviewees had specific ways of identifying therapists from whom information could be obtained. Interviewees also relied on therapists outside their work settings, other health care practitioners, and nonhealth care professionals, including patients and their families. The primarily forms of continuing education used by therapists were seminars, workshops, and lectures (SWLs).
520 $a Possible determinants of information accessing behavior included information source preferences, perceived need for information accessing, and availability, knowledge and usability of information sources. Most of those interviewed preferred to get information from other people. They had preferences for specific journals and specific types of material in journals (e.g., simple and nonstatistical). They preferred SWLs that were relevant to their patients. Availability of information was not an obligatory determinant of behavior. Therapists had a limited knowledge of information sources beyond people with whom they worked. Nonstatistical reading was considered more usable by the interviewees. Different levels of perceived need for accessing information were noted. Given the findings, educational interventions aimed at increasing students' and therapists' knowledge of information sources and statistics and improving their attitudes toward research may be appropriate.
