you know your local clinical guides, in whatever way you work or follow protocols for your studies, how you can standardize your clinical practice or your studies
Guidelines are like a SURVIVAL MANUAL!
I have recently joined as a researcher at AIIMS, New Delhi, India, and I received a long list of the do's & don'ts of the lab.
My principal investigator also has given some advice on how to work and complete work within a given time frame and related stuff.
Yes, for me, guidelines do play a vital role for an individual who is an amateur. Guidelines actually give you a direction.
Developed and Modern Countries spend Billions Trillions of Dollars for the Bests Services of Health for their country men Example like USA Canada UK France Others. Following Clinical Guide lines are Huge Problem for Third world countries where there’re Quacks and Malpractice is on Peak. Indeed Governments of Any country should make sure there Health Department is working Hard to monitor Malpractice and to Implement Accurate Clinical Guide lines in their Countries. Thanks and Regards
In my opinion, there is a big problem with the use of guidelines in the field of rehabilitation and physical therapy in Ukraine. There are no currently common education standards for physical therapy specialists and standards for the provision of rehabilitation at the state level. Most likely that in the near future, a professional organization Ukraine Physical Therapy association will develop and recommend clinical guidelines for specialists.
Following guidelines would be good practice, if we can trust that their development is based on the best available evidence. Many guidelines, such as most of the Cochrane reviews (SR) and meta-analyses (MA), are based exclusively on RCTs. All other types of evidence are systematically withheld from these analyses. Therefore the recommendations in such guidelines cannot be trusted as being a sufficient source to inform medical practitioners.
Blindly following MARCT-guidelines is dangerous for the quality of care, hence for the patient. Guidelines are NOT a substitute for critical thinking nor for using common sense.
