Projects were conducted primarily in university-affiliated hospitals (41.6%) or the university's physical therapy department (41.1%), and the majority (52.5%) had a clinical focus. Of the 95 lead advisors of 201 projects, 59 advisors (response rate 62.1%) of 119 projects completed the survey questionnaire. The respondents most frequently identified clinical practice (45.1%) and advisors' research capacity (31.4%) as areas positively affected by the students' research. <italic>Conclusions:</italic> The MScPT students' research projects facilitate the conduct of extensive research internally and across affiliated hospitals. This research appears to advance not only clinical practice but also the ability of lead advisors to undertake research. <italic>Objectif :</italic> caractériser la nature des recherches des étudiants réalisées dans le cadre d'un programme de maîtrise ès sciences en physiothérapie dans une université canadienne et évaluer le point de vue du superviseur quant aux conséquences sur la capacité de ses recherches, l'éducation, la pratique clinique, l'application du savoir et les politiques en matière de santé. <italic>Méthodologie :</italic> les auteurs ont réalisé une analyse quantitative, transversale et rétrospective des rapports de recherche entre 2003 et 2014 afin de caractériser les recherches des étudiants à la maîtrise en physiothérapie et ont effectué un sondage quantitatif et transversal en ligne auprès des superviseurs afin d'évaluer les conséquences de ces recherches. <italic>Résultats :</italic> les chercheurs ont extrait les données des rapports de 201 projets de recherche terminés entre 2003 et 2014. Ces projets avaient surtout été menés dans des hôpitaux universitaires (41,6 %) ou au département de physiothérapie de l'université (41,1 %), et la majorité (52,5 %) était d'ordre clinique. Sur les 95 superviseurs des 201 projets, 59 superviseurs (taux de réponse de 62,1 %) de 119 projets ont rempli le sondage. Selon les répondants, la pratique clinique (45,1 %) et la capacité de recherche des superviseurs (31,4 %) étaient les secteurs qui avaient le plus profité des recherches des étudiants. <italic>Conclusions :</italic> les projets de recherche des étudiants à la maîtrise en physiothérapie facilitent la tenue de recherches poussées à l'interne et entre hôpitaux affiliés. Ces recherches semblent non seulement faire progresser la pratique clinique, mais également la capacité des superviseurs à faire de la recherche. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
