This dissertation studies the digital turn in public criminal defense. It focuses on public defenders, who are court-appointed attorneys, and their indigent clients, who come primarily from minority populations. I argue that the defining feature of the digital turn is that it brings judicial actors into contact with increasingly personal parts of defendants’ lives. As part of handling cases, both the prosecution and the defense interact with photos, conversation records, and location information, and use these pieces of digital evidence to understand the people, events, and circumstances around alleged crimes. I situate my study at the intersection of communication scholarship, socio-legal studies, and critical race theory. I draw on the latter’s legal storytelling framework to help make sense of how public defenders and prosecutors use digital evidence to create competing narratives about poor defendants and their alleged crimes. To examine the digital turn in public criminal defense, I conducted an ethnographic study of a public defender office and its in-house, digital forensics laboratory. The goal was to understand how digital evidence is shaping criminal case processing, especially defense work, and the relationship between public defenders and their indigent clients. I developed an original framework called the “life cycle.” This framework makes an important contribution to socio-legal studies and scholarship in the area of communication and technology by presenting a process-oriented approach that allows scholars and legal practitioners to understand how different moments in the life of a case unfold in the digital turn. Using the life cycle approach, I trace the life of digital evidence in public criminal defense, from the evidence’s arrival in the public defender office to its eventual application during hearings, plea negotiations, and trials. Throughout the analysis, I highlight the challenges and opportunities public defenders experience in the digital turn.

▼ Abstract Background Evidence based medicine plays a crucial role as a tool that helps integrate research evidence into clinical practice. However, few reports have yet to examine its applicat ion in daily practice among resident physicians in Japan. The aim of this study was to assess the attitudes towards and knowledge of EBM among resident physicians in Japanese and determine perceived barriers to its use. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to assess and determine the knowledge, attitude and practice towards EBM among physicians and their perceived barriers impeding the application of EBM practice. Methods: A conventional study was conducted in TASH from March, 1-May 30, 2014 on 400 physicians (residents and interns) working at Tikur Anbessa Hospital to assess their knowledge, attitude and practice towards EBM. Data were collected using a structured pre tested questionnaire. Results A total of (422) physicians were interviewed. Out of which 20 declined to participate, which makes giving a response rate of 95.3 % and the nonresponsive rate 4.7 % and two questionnaires were rejected because of their incompleteness. Among the 400 participants (293)73.3% were males and (107)26.7% were females. The (374) 93.5% of the study participants were between the age of 21 - 30 years and the remaining (26)6.5% of them belonging to the age group 31-40 years. Among the total respondents (173) 43.3% were interns and (227) 56.7% were residents. From the total study subjects 75.5 % have heard about EBM and among all of the widely known and used during clinical decision making EBM resources indicated in this survey are Uptodate (85%), Google(57.3%) followed by PUBMED(39.5%). Familiarity and use of electronic EBM resources did not differ between male and female residents. Residents with internet access at work compared to those without internet access, had no effect on familiarity and use of electronic EBM resources. There was significant correlation between years of residency and familiarity and use of electronic EBM resources. Comparing the interns and the residents, 53.2% of the interns were familiar to electronic EBM resources whereas 92.5% for the residents. There was no significant mean difference in familiarity of electronic EBM sources between male and female respondents (Mann Whitney U test P = 0.226), and those with and without Internet facilities at work (Independent sample T test P = 0.228). Similarly, no significant correlation is seen between the residents graduated university and the familiarity and use of electronic EBM. The Positive responses toward EBM reflected the positive attitude and welcoming situation in the medical school. 96% of physicians agree that EBM practices improves patient care ; 94.6% EBM improves patient outcomes; 94.8%EBM helps clinical decision making; 67.1%EBM practice reduce healthcare cost; 93.1%EBM brings about quick knowledge update; 74.6%EBM focused on patients value; 94.8%EBM should be taught in medical school ;… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr.Aklilu Azazh (MD, Internist, Associate Professor, Emergency Physician) (advisor).

▼ When considering what packaging material is optimal for a piece of biological evidence there are two vital things to consider: degradation and contamination (1). Biological evidence collected from a crime scene is brought to the laboratory, however, immediate testing upon arrival is highly unlikely (2). Therefore, the packaging must be suitable for transportation as well as storage. During the storage phase, if improper packaging is utilized, degradation and/or contamination could occur. General forensic practice is to dry biological samples before packaging, then package the evidence in a paper (breathable) container. This study investigated the use of kraft stock envelopes, plastic bags, glassine envelopes, Tyvek envelopes, evidence/syringe tubes, knife pouches, and Cap-Shure® plastic swab caps to package wet blood and semen samples. The packaging materials were evaluated in a humidity study, degradation study, and transfer study to determine if the biological specimen would remain intact and contained within the packaging. In the humidity study, it was determined that the kraft paper, glassine paper, and Tyvek® allowed for the passage of moisture, enabling the enclosed sample to readily dry. The plastic bag, evidence tube, and knife pouch created a difference in relative humidity above 20%, thus increasing the ambient moisture concentration the samples were exposed to. In the degradation study, all samples were positive for their respective biological substance when tested with screening, presumptive, and confirmatory methods, however, bacteria were observed on samples that were packaged in plastic bags evidence tubes, and plastic caps. Additionally, only one sample, packaged in an evidence tube, yielded a DNA degradation index that implied degradation had occurred. The packaging materials were also tested to determine if the biological fluid would transfer through them, permitting cross-contamination. The kraft paper and one glassine paper did not provide a true barrier, as blood transferred through the envelopes onto a surrounding surface. The Tyvek®, knife pouch, and plastic bag all kept the wet blood contained within the package and no transfer to the surrounding surfaces occurred, although bloodstains on the interior of the Tyvek® and knife pouch could be visualized from the exterior. Overall, Tyvek® envelopes were determined to be an optimal packaging material for wet biological samples when compared to the other packaging materials used in this limited study due to their relative strength, ability to allow fluids to air dry and the lack of penetration of wet blood to the exterior surface.

▼ Rapid scientific advances mean that new techniques and areas of research are being used by crime labs to test forensic evidence, but as innovations grow, so does fear that invalid science will make its way to the courtroom. If jurors and judges are not informed of the threats to validity that are associated with identification evidence they are at risk of overestimating the reliability of that evidence. The overarching goal of this thesis was to investigate whether scientifically informed opposing expert testimony or cross-examination will educate jurors about unreliable forensic science, and whether there are individual differences that will affect the perception of forensic evidence. Study one investigated whether opposing expert testimony could educate jurors about anthropometric facial comparison evidence. In addition, participants’ scores on measures of epistemological sophistication and argument skill were used to test for direct effects on verdict, and indirect effects through ratings on a measure of methodological reliability. Path analysis did not show support for relationship for the two individual difference measures. Opposing expert testimony was able to reduce ratings of the reliability of the forensic evidence, indicating that presenting participants with criticisms of unreliable forensic evidence is capable of informing jurors of limitations. Study two aimed to replicate the main findings of the first study while testing a different measure of individual difference: bias towards forensic evidence, as captured by the Forensic Evidence Evaluation Bias Scale (FEEBS, Smith & Bull, 2012, 2014). Opposing expert testimony reduced reliability, and scores on the pro-prosecution subscale of the FEEBS led to higher ratings of reliability, indicating that when the participants were predisposed to see forensic evidence as highly trustworthy and conclusive they were more likely to convict. Qualitative analysis of responses justifying verdict choice showed that opposing expert testimony was informative, but that many participants struggled with understanding scientific methodology and had unreasonable expectations about forensic science. Study three tested whether scientifically-informed cross-examination would lead to reduced reliability. Three types of forensic identification sciences were used: anthropometric facial comparison, fingerprint, and voice identification. Participants read through expert testimony regarding one of the three types of evidence, and then either scientifically-informed cross-examination, or questions that focussed on the qualifications and experience of the expert. Multi-group analyses and individual path analyses were conducted. Only the relationship between examination type and evidence type was different between groups, and scientifically-informed cross-examination did not affect ratings of reliability. Scores on the FEEBS affect neither reliability nor verdict. This suggests that differences in testimony and either the origin, or complexity, of criticisms towards evidence may have a… Advisors/Committee Members: Semmler, Carolyn (advisor), Proeve, Michael (advisor), School of Psychology (school).

▼ The acquisition of digital evidence is the most crucial part of the entire digital forensics process. During this process, digital evidence is acquired in a forensically sound manner to ensure the legal admissibility and reliability of that evidence in court. In the acquisition process various hardware or software tools are used to acquire the digital evidence. All of the digital forensic standards relating to the acquisition of digital evidence require that the hardware and software tools used in the acquisition process are validated as functioning correctly and reliably, as this lends credibility to the evidence in court. In fact the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 in South Africa specifically requires courts to consider issues such as reliability and the manner in which the integrity of digital evidence is ensured when assessing the evidential weight of digital evidence. Previous research into quality assurance in the practice of digital forensics in South Africa identified that in general, tool validation was not performed, and as such a hypothesis was proposed that digital forensic practitioners in South Africa make use of hardware and/or software tools for the forensic acquisition of digital evidence, whose validity and/or reliability cannot be objectively proven. As such the reliability of any digital evidence preserved using those tools is potentially unreliable. This hypothesis was tested in the research through the use of a survey of digital forensic practitioners in South Africa. The research established that the majority of digital forensic practitioners do not use tools in the forensic acquisition of digital evidence that can be proven to be validated and/or reliable. While just under a fifth of digital forensic practitioners can provide some proof of validation and/or reliability, the proof of validation does not meet formal international standards. In essence this means that digital evidence, which is preserved through the use of specific hardware and/or software tools for subsequent presentation and reliance upon as evidence in a court of law, is preserved by tools where the objective and scientific validity thereof has not been determined. Since South African courts must consider reliability in terms of Section 15(3) of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 in assessing the weight of digital evidence, this is undermined through the current state of practice in South Africa by digital forensic practitioners.

▼ Evidence-based interventions (EBIs), which demonstrate efficacy in research settings, are rarely sustained when implemented in public health organizations. Rather, EBIs are often de-adopted - potentially undermining the positive benefits of the EBIs for the communities that access them. The lack of sustainability is particularly troubling among public health organizations that provide HIV-related services given that many vulnerable, at-risk individuals rely on these services for prevention and care. Characterizing the relationships among the many factors theorized to influence EBI sustainability and subsequent population outcomes may be a critical step to improving our understanding of how EBIs are sustained. Furthermore, the potential impact of EBI de-adoption is relatively unexplored. Given that new EBIs will continue to emerge, this dissertation research contributes to a growing body of knowledge dedicated to understanding the end phases of EBI implementation - sustainability and de-adoption - for HIV prevention in local settings. To achieve this goal, a multi-stage study was conducted, the results of which are presented in two manuscripts. First, a mixed-methods case study of a community-based organization dedicated entirely to HIV prevention that implemented and de-adopted RESPECT, an HIV prevention EBI was conducted. This case study and other existing data were used to inform the construction of an agent-based model, an innovative simulation approach. The agent-based model was then used to examine the impact of human resources on EBI sustainability and population risk over time. The results from these analyses, presented in the first manuscript included in this dissertation, suggest that human resources are integral to EBI sustainability, and adequate human resources must be invested to sustain EBIs and maximize benefit for communities over time. Data from the case study were also used to examine the impact of de-adopting RESPECT in this agency. The results from these analyses, presented in the second manuscript included in this dissertation, demonstrate how de-adopting an EBI has consequences, many of which are negative, for individual staff, the agency, and the community. This work can be used to inform conceptual frameworks and methods informing the study of EBI sustainability and de-adoption. This work can also be used to make recommendations for HIV prevention policy and the promotion of EBIs in practice. A continued focus on sustainability and de-adoption is a crucial opportunity to improve EBI success to maximize the benefit of EBIs for communities. Advisors/Committee Members: Dolcini, M. Margaret (advisor), Catania, Joseph (committee member).

▼ The No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 and the Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Education Act of 2004 mandated that state and local education agencies assured that programs and interventions purchased with federal funds were proven effective through rigorous, scientifically-based research. This mandate required central office administrators who managed federal budgets to make evidence-based decisions when purchasing interventions and programs with federal funds. In this study, central office administrators across the state of Texas were surveyed to obtain information about their evidence-based decision-making practices and the factors that influenced them when making decisions about interventions for their districts. The purpose of this quantitative non-experimental study was to identify the evidence-based decision-making practices of central office administrators (n = 268) and the factors that influence them. Based on the findings in the literature, a survey was developed to collect data to examine correlations between central office administrators??? evidence use in decision-making and (a) administrator knowledge of evidence-based practices, confidence in understanding statistical methodology and analyses, and beliefs about research; (b) individual administrator characteristics measured by education, experience, and employment; (c) school district characteristics such as size, type, location, and presence of policies; and (d) the administrator level at which evidence-based decisions were made. Data were collected using survey methodology. Factor analysis, regression analysis, and ANOVAs were employed to analyze the data. The present study provides evidence that administrators??? knowledge of evidence-based practices and their self confidence in their own ability to understand the statistical methodologies and analyses that are typically found in research studies, impact administrators??? evidence-based decision-making practices; however, results from this sample did not support the importance of administrators??? beliefs about research in general. Results indicated that individual administrator level of education, administrative experience, and current employment did not predict their evidence-based decision-making practices. However, the data did indicate that the type of district (rural, suburban, urban), size of the district, and the presence of policies concerning evidence-based practices did impact administrators??? evidence-based decision-making practices. Finally, to provide some insight on the impact of organizational structure on evidence-based decision-making, this study investigated the level within the central office where evidence-based decisions were made. Findings indicated that in urban districts, the majority of decisions were made by the program director or the assistant superintendent, whereas suburban districts identified program directors/budget managers as the primary decision-maker. Small rural districts appeared to make decisions at the higher superintendent level; however,… Advisors/Committee Members: Thompson, Bruce (advisor).

▼ The study was designed to test for the existence of dividend clientele among companies quoted on NSE. In the view of conflicting empirical evidence from the test conducted in different context and stock markets, this research paper intended to focus on tax dividend clientele and investigate the situation in Kenya to answer the question; Do dividend clientele exist in Nairobi Stock Exchange? The study population and sample consisted of all 54 companies listed on the NSE over the period between 2005-2008. The companies that did not trade for all the four years under consideration were eliminated. This left a total of 42 companies. These companies were grouped according to their shareholding structure consisting of foreign investors, local institutional investors and local retail individual investors. A particular category of shareholders with more than 25% of shareholding in a company was taken to have effective control. Data regarding cash dividend payment and market prices for each company was collected from NSE. Data on ownership structure was obtained from CMA and NSE. Average dividend yield for each company was determined and stratified into three classes of high, average and low. A chi-square was used to test the hypothesis to accept or reject the null hypothesis. The findings were that dividend clientele exist among firms with effective local institutional shareholders control which could be attributed to their tax advantage on dividend income. However, among foreign investors and local individual investors there was no evidence to support existence of dividend clientele among these investor groups This could be attributed to the tax differential treatment of foreign investors on dividend income, and the fact that capital gains are tax exempt. Local individual investors lack of dividend preference could be attributed to their small shareholdings and hence tax disadvantage suffered by this investor group is minimal. These investors also lack effective control on these companies hence they are unable to influence major policies of these companies including dividend policies.

▼ The demand for accounting expert witness services has increased over the past decade, as has the diversity of areas that expert witnesses are required to cover. Consequently, many universities and colleges are currently considering adding forensic accounting courses to their curriculum (Wang et al. 2016, DiGabriele 2010). Identifying appropriate forensic accounting skills will aid both academia and professional bodies to integrate these skills into their accounting curriculum (Bhasin 2016). This will help accounting students of tertiary institutions and professional bodies gain appropriate forensic accounting skills and techniques (Seda & Kramer 2015). Accounting expert witnesses are called to testify in cases related to accounting or financial matters, such as fraud cases, that are beyond the knowledge or understanding of judges and jurors. Their expert testimony is provided as opinion evidence based on the expert’s training, study or experience. Accordingly, forensic accountants (FAs) should acquire skills that enable them to perform their duties as expert witnesses effectively (DiGabriele & Huber 2015; Heitger & Heitger 2008). Analysing the existing literature has revealed a lack of studies focusing on the skills that FAs require, specifically on litigation support services in the context of Australia (Bhasin 2016; van Akkeren & Tarr 2014). Therefore, the present study attempts to fill a knowledge gap and contribute to the development of this professional niche in Australia and the other countries. This study aims to investigate the main skills that FAs should possess to act as expert witnesses in courts from the perception of three stakeholder groups: lawyers, professional accountants and accounting academics. Additionally, this study inspects the factors affecting the admissibility of expert testimony. Further, it inspects the variance in the perceptions of the above three groups regarding the skills required for expert witnesses. Moreover, the research project explores the essential requirements that are required for FAs to practice expert witnessing and litigation support services before the court in the Australian context—including level of education, area of specialisation, forensic accounting credentials, the career pathway of accounting expert witnesses and computer-based forensic techniques. Institutional theory and agency theory are adopted to underpin and explain the objectives of the study. From an institutional perspective, identifying the skills, ethics and other requirements that FAs should possess to act as expert witnesses will improve their work and assist the efforts to standardise forensic accounting as a profession in Australia. This will reduce the institutional pressures on forensic accounting and meet the expectations of those who use these services, thus legitimising and improving the industry. On the other hand, from an agency perspective, improving the skills of FAs will reduce the conflict between the principal (users of FAs services) and the agent (FAs), which thus reduces agency… Advisors/Committee Members: Western Sydney University.

▼ Several philosophical theories of scientific evidence (or confirmation) have been proposed. I argue, however, that none satisfactorily explain the way that evidence is gathered and used to confirm the variety of hypotheses that are commonly formulated in clinical medical science. I consider five philosophical theories of scientific evidence, and Inference to the Best Explanation to the extent that it can be considered a theory of evidence or theory choice. I argue that none adequately explain confirmation in clinical medical science, and I offer a new account of evidence that I argue does constitute a satisfactory explanation, and which I am calling the weight of evidence account. I divide hypotheses that are found in clinical medical science into three categories: therapeutic, etiologic, and diagnostic. Therapeutic hypotheses are those that are concerned with treatments or other medical interventions, etiologic hypotheses are those concerned with the causes of disease or other adverse medical conditions, and diagnostic hypotheses are those considered by clinicians when making a diagnosis. I illustrate the methods of gathering and using evidence in the confirmation process by using examples of each type of hypothesis drawn from the clinical medical scientific literature. I also argue that the weight of evidence account supplies a satisfactory explanation and rationale for the ìhierarchical pyramidî of evidenceñbased medicine, with randomized clinical trials and their derivatives, meta-analyses and systematic reviews of randomized clinical trials, at the top of the pyramid, and case reports, case series, expert opinion and the like at the bottom. Cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, and nonrandomized clinical trials fall into the middle. I illustrate the development of various ìlevelsî of evidence by considering the evolution of less invasive surgical treatments for early breast cancer, and argue that the weight of evidence account satisfactorily explains the notion of levels of evidence and other efforts to rank evidence. In addition, I provide a defense of randomization as a method to maximize accuracy in the conduct of clinical trials. I also consider ethical issues surrounding experimentation with medical therapies in human subjects, and illustrate and discuss these issues as they arose in studies of respiratory therapies in neonates and treatment for cancers of the anus and testis in adults. I argue that in many cases sufficient evidence can be accrued to warrant generally accepted new therapies without the need for evidence derived from randomized clinical trials.

Purpose: The rapid change and instability omnipresent in the health care delivery and payment systems present a formidable challenge for clinicians and managers tasked with mental health and substance use disorder care delivery. Bringing evidence based practice into the clinical routine can be extremely challenging. The purpose of this project was to meet the needs of the changing health care landscape through a behavioral health care model redesign. Methods: This article reviews a case study of one organization’s experience in reforming mental health care delivery, and describes the implementation of a care model redesign in behavioral health. The case study emphasizes how the organizational structure and process were reshaped to address systems-level challenges, such as overburdened providers and lengthy patient wait times. Results: Since launching the behavioral health care (BH) model redesign in February 2016, the site-wide triage system evaluates roughly 1,600 patients each month. Average time to triage is 2.1 days, ranging by site from 1.4 to 4.1 days. The average wait time for therapist appointments dropped from over 60 days to approximately 10 days. Average therapist caseloads have decreased from 120 to 35 patients. The days between visits fell 40%, from an average of 24.9 days in 2015 to 15.9 days in 2017. Over 1,100 continuing education credits have been awarded as part of redesign process. Five care facilitators were hired and deployed to the sites with the highest perceived need. The care facilitator program is still in the pilot phase, but initial return on investment analyses have indicated savings of $112 per member per month. The department currently has signed letters of agreement with many community provider partners, who receive, on average, 260 referrals monthly. More than 60 therapy groups have been designed and initiated to augment medication and individual therapy interventions. These groups currently support over 350 patients’ treatment. Patient willingness to recommend the BH practice rose from 77.2% in January 2016 to 79.9% in December 2016. Additionally, psychopharmacology practices have been standardized across the BH sites, to ensure excellent care delivery to all patients. Conclusions: Significant hurdles, such as complexities associated with scale stakeholder engagement, were encountered in rolling out the care model redesign process. Despite these obstacles, the model redesign has been successful in the initial phase based on results documented to date. We hope this model may serve as a platform for other organizations to innovate through BH care redesign.

▼ This thesis explores the transformations of evidence in health research synthesis studies – studies that bring together evidence from a number of research reports on the same/ similar topic. It argues that health research synthesis is a broad and intriguing field in a state of pre-formation, in spite of the fact that it may appear well established if equated with its exemplar method – the systematic review inclusive of meta-analysis. Transformations of evidence are processes by which pieces of evidence are modified from what they are in the primary study report into what is needed in the synthesis study while, supposedly, having their integrity fully preserved. Such processes have received no focused attention in the literature. Yet they are key to the validity and reliability of synthesis studies. This work begins to describe them and explore their frequency, scope and drivers. A ‘meta-scientific’ perspective is taken, where ‘meta-scientific’ is understood to include primarily ideas from the philosophy of science and methodological texts in health research, and, to a lesser extent, social studies of science and psychology of science thinking. A range of meta-scientific ideas on evidence and factors that shape it guide the analysis of processes of “data extraction” and “coding” during which much evidence is transformed. The core of the analysis involves the application of an extensive Analysis Framework to 17 highly heterogeneous research papers on cancer. Five non-standard ‘injunctions’ complement the Analysis Framework – for comprehensiveness, extensive multiple coding, extreme transparency, combination of critical appraisal and critique, and for first coding as close as possible to the original and then extending towards larger transformations. Findings suggest even lower credibility of the current overall model of health research synthesis than initially expected. Implications are discussed and a radical vision for the future proposed.

▼ The phylogeny of Eumalacostraca (Crustacea) has remained elusive, despite over a century of morphological and more recently molecular studies. Prior to this, no large scale combined evidence analyses of all eumalacostracan orders has been carried out. Evidence from four nuclear ribosomal and mitochondrial loci (18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) were combined with a newly synthesized morphological dataset to examine the utility of available data. With an aim to resolve conflict in the morphological dataset, fossils were added to the morphological dataset and their effects examined. The stratigraphic congruence of crustaceans was examined to determine the quality of existing trees. A modified protocol was developed to generate new molecular markers for the investigation of eumalacostracan phylogeny. Finally the effects of the new data on existing datasets were examined in a combined evidence approach. Significant conflict was detected between data partitions, especially between morphology and molecules. The addition of fossil data revealed the morphological dataset to be very sensitive to taxon sampling. Stratigraphic congruence was found to be poor for the five crustacean groups examined. Histone 3 and alanyl-tRNA synthetase were shown to be capable of successfully recovering relationships at the level of genus and above. Glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase failed to recover monophyletic groupings when analysed alone. Combining all molecular data produced well-supported phylogenies, but significant conflict between data partitions was identified and trees were very sensitive to taxon sampling. Rate heterogeneity and conflict between data partitions mean that the total sum of molecular and morphological evidence as presented here is currently unable to resolve a wellsupported eumalacostracan phylogeny. We recommend additional taxon sampling and further sampling of novel markers using the modified protocol developed here as well as the addition of fossil data and the exploitation of next generation sequencing technologies.

▼ Evidence based practice (EBP) is an educational paradigm that espouses that clinical decision making should be made through the judicious and conscientious use of best evidence. EBP is predicated on a fundamental principle that therapeutic knowledge is appraised and applied into practice with the ethical imperative to use such knowledge for the good of patient care. Despite the ubiquitous nature of EBP in health care little is known about how physiotherapists use this clinical decision making process and it is not clear as to which theoretical frameworks of practice and knowledge paradigms underpin physiotherapists application of EBP. Phenomenology seeks to uncover the internal consciousness of phenomena by describing and exploring the lived experience and explores the relationship between what exists in one’s consciousness and what exists in the objective world. Descriptive phenomenology was used in this thesis to gain an in depth understanding of how twelve physiotherapists applied EBP in the real and complex world of clinical practice with the objective to explore their experiences and to understand the essence of its practice. The findings in this study revealed a complex picture comprising of three separate but interrelated themes. Physiotherapists had developed a personal theory of EBP (Theme 1) that guided their behaviour and comprised of an ontological, epistemological and methodological structure. This theoretical and practice framework was uniquely individual and required a complex set of cognitive processes that included knowledge identification, transformation, translation and implementation in specific client situations and practice contexts (Theme 2: translation into practice). To add to this complexity this framework took place within intrapersonal, social and cultural milieus which influenced behaviour (Theme 3). The study concludes by conceptualising the findings and experiences of physiotherapists into models that could be used to assist educationalists, practitioners and researchers to promote evidence based practice in a pragmatic way.
