Results
Internal Instrument Reliability:
Factor 1 (Understanding of the EBP concepts) = Cronbach Alpha of 0.917
Factor 2 (General aspects of EBP development in the radiology department) = Cronbach Alpha of 0.979
Factor 3 (EBP in the Work Context) = Cronbach Alpha of 0.974
Factor 4 (EBP: Training and Updating of Knowledge) = Cronbach Alpha of 0.937
Factor 5 (EBP and Clinical Governance in MRI) = Cronbach Alpha of 0.927
Factor 6 (Conditioning Factors for the Application of EBP) = Cronbach Alpha of 0.943
Factor 7 (Direct and/or indirect Eeffects of EBP) = Cronbach Alpha of 0.963
Main Findings:
Analysis of the weight and importance of the items of Factor 1 - Understanding of the EBP concepts are available in Fig. 1.
Analysis of the weight and importance of the items of Factor 2 - General aspects of EBP development in the radiology department are available in Fig. 2.
The results of factor 3 to 7 are available in the full version of our study.
So,
our results showed that 53% of the Radiographers who perform MRI examinations do not apply the principles of EBP in their daily activity / practice (Fig. 3).
It was also found that 40% of them understood the term EBP and that most consider having skills in this area.
The high workload and insufficient time were the most highlighted barriers and the interest,
motivation and the availability of information resources were the most identified facilitators.
