          Abstract

          Antecedentes. En fonoaudiología son pocos los estudios cienciométricos y en consecuencia no se tiene evidencia de las áreas de concentración de la investigación, ni de sus tendencias y evolución temporal. Objetivo. Analizar la producción científica en las áreas de investigación clínica en fonoaudiología, entre los años 2005 y 2009, con el fin de caracterizar la producción bibliométrica, señalar las tendencias y el crecimiento en investigación clínica, estudiar la dispersión de la literatura científica e identificar la cooperación en investigación. Material y métodos. Se analizó la producción de literatura científica en las áreas de investigación clínica en fonoaudiología, registradas en PubMed-MEDLINE entre los años 2005- 2009. Resultados. Se consideraron en total 4.127 publicaciones. El análisis mostró un mayor número de publicaciones para el área de lenguaje y sus desórdenes, seguida por la audición y sus desórdenes y de las publicaciones referidas a la deglución y sus alteraciones; en contraste con los campos de tartamudez y rehabilitación oral que obtuvieron los valores más bajos. No hubo diferencias significativas en el número de publicaciones entre los años del estudio. Hubo mayoría de estudios epidemiológicos secundarios frente a los estudios clínicos; no obstante, los estudios clínicos representaron el 42% del total de las publicaciones y de éstos un 42,4% correspondieron a ensayos clínicos con asignación al azar. En su mayoría los investigadores pertenecían a universidades, seguida por instituciones de salud o cooperación entre ambas. Los investigadores independientes y las redes no consolidadas de investigación presentaron el menor porcentaje de publicaciones. Conclusiones. Los hallazgos sugieren que la capacidad de los fonoaudiólogos de desarrollar investigación de calidad, usar y transferir sus resultados en la práctica clínica debe alcanzar mayores desarrollos.

          Background. There are few scientometric studies in speech pathology and audiology and therefore there is no evidence of the focus areas of research, as well as trends and behavior over time. Objective. Analyze the scientific production of clinical research in audiology, between 2005 and 2009, to characterize the bibliometric production and identify trends and growth in clinical research; to study the dispersion of the scientific literature and identify research cooperation. Material and methods. We analyzed the production of scientific literature clinical research in audiology areas, registered in PubMed-MEDLINE from the years 2005 to 2009. Results. We considered a total of 4127 publications. The analysis showed a higher number of publications for language and language disorders area, followed by hearing and hearing disorders and papers related to the swallowing and its disorders, in contrast to the fields stuttering and aural rehabilitation yielded the lowest values. No significant differences were comparatively in the number of publications between years. We noted an increased production of secondary epidemiological studies compared to clinical studies, however, clinical studies accounted for 42% of total publications and of these 42,4% were consistent with randomized trials. Most of the researchers were faculties affiliated, followed by health institutions and cooperation between both. Independent researchers and unconsolidated research networks presented the lower percentage of publications. Conclusions. The findings suggest that the capacity of audiologists to develop quality research, use, and transfer its results into clinical practice should achieve greater development

          Indicadores cienciométricos

          Los indicadores científicos surgen de la medición de los insumos y de los resultados de la institución científica. La cienciometría elabora metodologías para formular esos indicadores con técnicas interdisciplinarias de la economía, la estadística, la administración y la documentación. Las metodologías aceptadas internacionalmente (Manual de Frascati, Manual de Oslo y Manual de Camberra), constituyen las referencias clásicas para medir los insumos y los resultados económicos, así como los resultados tecnológicos de investigación y desarrollo (P&D). No existe consenso internacional acerca de cómo medir y evaluar la producción intelectual y académica, tal como se manifiesta en la interpretación de los impactos e influencia del sistema editorial. A partir de la definición de los términos bibliometría, cienciometría e informetría y de la explicación del alcance y aplicación de cada uno, se presentan en este trabajo varias alternativas para interpretar los indicadores cienciométricos existentes, derivados en su mayoría del Citation Index del Institute for Scientific Information y de otras bases de datos similares. En particular se presenta una hipótesis que explica el favoritismo del Citation Index hacia las publicaciones que forman parte de la corriente principal (mainstream) de los países desarrollados, en detrimento de las publicaciones de calidad similar provenientes de los países del Tercer Mundo. Scientific indicators arise from the measurement of inputs and results of the scientific institution. Scientometrics develops methodologies for set up those indicators based on interdisplinary technics from the economics, statistics, management and documentation. The methodologies that are internationally accepted (Frascati Manual, Oslo Manual and Canberra Manual) constitute the classical references to measure the econocmic inputs and results, as well as the technological results of the research and development. However, there is no international consensus about how to measure and evaluate intellectual and academic production in the ways in which it is expressed in the editorial system, either in the interpretation of its impacts e influences. Defining bibliometrics, scientometrics and infometrics, as well as their scope and application, this paper presents alternative views to interpret current scientometric indicators, which greatly outcome from compilation of the Citation Index, published by the Institute for Scientific Information, and other similar databases. Particularly, an hypothesis is presented aiming at explaining the bias of the Citation Index in favour of the publications that belong to the mainstream of the developed countries, against those publications of similar quality published by Third World countries.

            Evidence-based practice: beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors of physical therapists.

            Little research has been done regarding the attitudes and behaviors of physical therapists relative to the use of evidence in practice. The purposes of this study were to describe the beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors of physical therapist members of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) as they relate to evidence-based practice (EBP) and to generate hypotheses about the relationship between these attributes and personal and practice characteristics of the respondents. A survey of a random sample of physical therapist members of APTA resulted in a 48.8% return rate and a sample of 488 that was fairly representative of the national membership. Participants completed a questionnaire designed to determine beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors regarding EBP, as well as demographic information about themselves and their practice settings. Responses were summarized for each item, and logistic regression analyses were used to examine relationships among variables. Respondents agreed that the use of evidence in practice was necessary, that the literature was helpful in their practices, and that quality of patient care was better when evidence was used. Training, familiarity with and confidence in search strategies, use of databases, and critical appraisal tended to be associated with younger therapists with fewer years since they were licensed. Seventeen percent of the respondents stated they read fewer than 2 articles in a typical month, and one quarter of the respondents stated they used literature in their clinical decision making less than twice per month. The majority of the respondents had access to online information, although more had access at home than at work. According to the respondents, the primary barrier to implementing EBP was lack of time. Physical therapists stated they had a positive attitude about EBP and were interested in learning or improving the skills necessary to implement EBP. They noted that they needed to increase the use of evidence in their daily practice.
