Primärvårdspatienters förväntningar på sjukgymnastik och hur sjukgymnasterna själva ser på sin yrkesroll
enkätstudie
The aim of this study was to explore whether the patients? expectations of physiotherapy correspond with the physiotherapists? view of their own professional role. Two separate questionnaires were used, one to the patients and one to the physiotherapists, which questions were able to compare. Totally 41 patients and 6 physiotherapists answered the questionnaires. The low number of answers from the physiotherapists made it impossible to fulfil the purpose. The results indicated that patients generally consider that they undertake a big responsibility for the outcome of the treatment and that there is enough time during the visit. The patients view of physical therapy is more old-fashioned aimed towards the passive treatments, unlike the perception that physiotherapist?s have of their profession which is more focused on the role as the active helper.
