Article Synopsis
- Radiographers in Nordic countries often depend on outdated training and departmental protocols instead of using current research, which highlights a need for better evidence-based practices in clinical settings.
- An online survey of 640 radiographers identified reflective practice and discussion with colleagues as key factors enhancing the use of research evidence, while difficulties in evaluating research emerged as a significant barrier.
- To effectively implement evidence-based practices, it's essential for radiographers to adopt a critical approach to their work, develop academic skills, and have strong leadership support that fosters a learning culture within their field.
