Introduction: The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) consists of a combination of the therapist's experience, the best evidence available and the patient's preference / adaptation. The hospital physiotherapist possesses knowledge on therapeutic procedures validated by researches with proof of the effectiveness of his techniques. His/her presence is indispensable in sectors such as adult ICU, neonatal ICU, and infirmaries. Because it is a primary area for the rehabilitation of hospitalized patients, it is necessary to identify whether the professionals, who work in the various sectors of the hospital environment, are able to offer the best available service using the principles of the PBE.
Objective: To describe the behavior, knowledge, abilities, opinions and self-reported barriers related to PBE of hospital physioterapists at a public state hospital in Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Methods: An adapted electronic questionnaire was used that identified behavior, knowledge, skills, opinions and barriers in self-reported EBP by participants.
Results: The response rate to the questionnaire was 72.72% (16 respondents). The most used professional updating medium were scientific articles (56.3%), the most accessed basis was Scielo (93.8%), followed by Pubmed (81,3%). Physical therapists (87,5%) report that they know the meaning of the term PBE, seek to implant the best scientific evidence in clinical practice (75,0%), thus helping the quality of health services (56,3%). The most reported barriers were the language of the articles, lack of quality of evidence, difficulty in obtaining the full article, lack of time, difficulty in understanding statistical data, interpretation of results, and lack of training in PBE.
Conclusion: Hospital physioterapists report positive attitudes regarding the use of EBP, are interested in deepening their knowledge about the subject in order to use the best scientific evidence in clinical practice aiming at quality in patient care. On the other hand, some barriers make it difficult to implement EBP in the daily care routine.
