Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 5 EBP 0624 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Personal Factors in the Clinician
Captions available
The idea
Personal factors influencing evidence-based decision making include a clinician's own life experience — a bereavement, being a patient themselves — along with personality and emotional intelligence.
In practice
A clinician whose own experience of an illness shapes how they present its treatment.
Where people slip
Personal factors are not contamination. They are inputs that operate either examined or unexamined.
