Research values of occupational and physical therapists.
A national survey was conducted to determine occupational and physical therapists' values toward research. While members of both professions were found to have similar research-related values, therapists identified as researchers held somewhat more positive views of research than did clinicians. The primary differences between clinicians and researchers related to values regarding the relationship between research and professional status, and to the relationship between research and clinical practice.
