Method: We conducted a quantitative, cross-sectional, retrospective review of projects completed between 2003 and 2015 and confirmed publication status through citations of published work, a literature search, and a survey of advisors. We used descriptive statistics to describe the nature and extent of publications and logistic regression to analyze potential predictor variables. Results: Between 2003 and 2015, 44.5% of the 218 projects completed were associated with at least one peer-reviewed journal publication, and there was a seven-fold increase in annual publication rate. Projects led by a scientist or researcher ([OR] = 3.09; 95% CI: 1.15, 8.35), qualitative projects with 10 or more participants ([OR] 6.22; 95% CI: 1.96, 19.78), and quantitative projects with more than 50 participants ([OR] = 2.29; 95% CI: 1.14, 4.63) were associated with an increased likelihood of publication. Conclusions: MScPT research is published at a moderate rate, and annual publication rates increased between 2003 and 2015. Encouragement to obtain adequate sample sizes and additional support for clinician-led projects may enhance publication rates and, ultimately, bridge gaps in research-to-practice integration. Objectif : décrire la nature et la portée des publications et évaluer si le rôle et l'exercice de conseiller principal, l'outil de collecte de données utilisé la taille de l'échantillon et le sujet retenu prédisent la publication des projets de recherche réalisés dans le cadre d'une maîtrise ès sciences en physiothérapie au Canada. Méthodologie : analyse rétrospective quantitative et transversale de projets terminés entre 2003 et 2015, et confirmation de la publication par des citations déjà publiées, recherche documentaire et enquête auprès des conseillers. Les auteurs ont utilisé des statistiques descriptives pour décrire la durée et l'étendue des publications, de même que la régression logistique pour analyser les variables prédictives potentielles. Résultats : le taux annuel de publications a septuplé entre 2003 et 2015, et 44,5 % des 218 projets terminés s'associaient à au moins une publication dans une revue dotée d'un comité de lecture. Les projets dirigés par un scientifique ou un chercheur (rapport de cotes [RC] 3,09; IC à 95 % : 1,15, 8,35), les projets qualitatifs comptant au moins dix participants (RC 6,22; IC à 95 % : 1,96, 19,78) et les projets quantitatifs comptant plus de 50 participants (RC 2,29; IC à 95 % : 1,14, 4,63) étaient plus susceptibles d'être publiés. Conclusion : la publication des recherches de maîtrise est modérée, et le taux annuel de publications a augmenté entre 2003 et 2015. L'encouragement à utiliser des tailles d'échantillon suffisantes et le soutien accru des projets dirigés par un clinicien pourraient accroître le taux de publications et, au bout du compte, corriger les lacunes relatives à l'intégration de la recherche à la pratique. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
