Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Of 318 coded barriers and facilitators, 65.7% were coded in four key TDF domains, led by environmental context and resources (86 times, 27.0%) and social influences (73 times, 23.0%). → Dahn J 2018

q3 · i? · review · r2
TDF-guided directed coding across the 17 included articles coded barriers and facilitators into 12 TDF domains; the review reports the printed frequencies above and identifies the four key domains from these counts.
"In total, the barriers and facilitators were coded 318 times in the 17 articles: Barriers were coded 133 times (41.8%), and facilitators were coded 185 times (58.2%). They were most frequently coded in the environmental context and resources domain (86 times, 27.0%), followed by the social influences (73 times, 23.0%), beliefs about consequences (28 times, 8.8%), and behavioral regulation (22 times, 6.9%) domains."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Teamwork, collaborative work, interactivity, and networking are the most frequently reported physician facilitators of SDL, while medicine's on-the-job learning culture is the most cited social-influences barrier
- Fear of appearing incompetent acts as both a barrier and a facilitator to physicians' engagement in feedback-related SDL — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Physicians engage in SDL programs more when they perceive the content as useful and relevant to their clinical practice — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Barriers and facilitators to SDL in CPD occur at five levels: individual, program, technological, environmental, and workplace/organizational — related
- Time constraints are the most frequently cited physician barrier to SDL engagement, within the environmental context and resources domain — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
