Description

Jasem and co-authors interview children's occupational therapists in Kuwait about using research evidence in this 2024 qualitative study. Evidence-based practice promises better care, but clinics adopt it unevenly. The team asked what helps and what blocks it on the ground.

Ten therapists with at least two years of children's experience gave face-to-face interviews across hospitals, clinics, and schools. Three themes emerged. Personal drive and seeing clients improve motivated evidence use. Weak organizational support was the main barrier, from time to resources. Therapists bridged the gap with creativity and flexibility in daily work. The authors draw lessons for managers who want evidence to reach the therapy room.
