Introduction[edit | edit source]
Reading research is an essential skill in providing high-quality healthcare. In the rehabilitation community, implementing evidence-based research into practice is necessary for improving patient outcomes and advancing the field as a whole.[1]
Due to the ever-increasing number of studies being published regularly, rehabilitation professionals must navigate through a large pool of information to identify relevant and reliable studies. Efficient reading can help filter research, so a practitioner can save time and focus only on the most appropriate information for specific clinical applications.
Multiple studies emphasize the significance of academic reading, which is often undervalued. Reading is a fundamental skill that requires effort and practice.[2][3] [4]
Three-pass Approach[edit | edit source]
Reading a scientific paper can be challenging, considering its complex terminologies, dense methodologies, and statistical analyses. According to Keshav (2007), there is a simple way of reading a paper, which is called the three-pass approach.[5]
