- W2316388432 abstract "Abstract Introduction Although the notion of advanced practice (AP) has been widely accepted and implemented in some countries, for example, the United Kingdom, in Canada it is has yet to be widely tested as a model of working. Currently it has been implemented and evaluated in Ontario, but this approach is not widespread across the country. To date in British Columbia (BC), there are no advanced practitioners and no research has been conducted regarding the opinions and attitudes of radiation therapists (RTs) in BC towards the implementation of AP. Understanding RTs attitudes and perceptions towards AP may be important when considering the acceptance and implementation of new roles. The research objectives were to explore the attitudes and opinions of RTs and establish what the term AP means to BC RTs, and also to discover what they consider to be benefits, and barriers to implementing AP. Materials and methods A quantitative approach was utilised and an on-line questionnaire was sent to 266 RTs that currently practice in BC. Likert and demographic questions were used to explore the definition of AP and ascertain opinions about the barriers and benefits of implementing AP in BC. Results A total of 183 questionnaires were completed for a response rate of 69%. The majority of respondents agreed with the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologies (CAMRT) and the literature's definition of AP. Cost, time, lack of support and training and issues of medical dominance were cited as barriers. Job satisfaction, autonomy, and increased recruitment and retention of staff were considered benefits. Conclusions Although RTs believe there are obstacles to be overcome regarding the adoption and implementation of AP, these are outweighed by the potential benefits such as enhanced patient care due to increased levels of professional knowledge and development that can lead to increased levels of job satisfaction. These are seen as important drivers for creating the AP role in BC." @default.
