| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Within evidence-based practice in occupational therapy a hierarchy of external evidence methods is built up in order to assess the validity degree concerning practical problems. Occupational therapy research uses methods and approaches of clinical experimental research, (quantitative) health care research and qualitative research. Particularly methods of health care and qualitative research are more likely classified in lower ranks of the classical evidence hierarchy although their validity degree might be high depending on the way of problem posing. OBJECTIVE: In this respect the question arises what a model considering the external evidence of decision making should look like which takes into account the 3 research levels to the same extent and measures up to the hierarchy model. METHOD/RESULTS: The justifications of the 3 research levels’ validity, their pros and cons as well as their classification in classical evidence hierarchy are illustrated. Based on these considerations an assessment model for external evidence in occupational therapy research in terms of a triangular pyramid is being designed and put up for discussion. CONCLUSION: Evidence-based occupational therapy practice which meets the complex demands of clinical everyday practice can only be achieved by a systematic review of clinical-experimental, (quantitative) medical care and qualitative research. |
