Conclusion
This study presents a novel approach of the framework of UR in the unexplored healthcare discipline. Conducting an RCT is a challenging but valuable, useful, and effective way to integrate research and an inquiring attitude in physiotherapy students. Forms of teaching and learning focused on enhancing research and inquiring attitudes should be considered and integrated in the healthcare curriculum, especially in physiotherapy programmes, where students’ knowledge of RCT characteristics should be integrated early to ensure the transfer of EBP to provide the best care. In the future, this initiative should potentially be considered by lecturers, educational research promoters and stakeholders involved in UR programmes.
