Abstract:

IntroductionThere is a high global prevalence of patients presenting with physical and mental health comorbidities. Physiotherapeutic interventions, such as exercise, can have positive benefits for physical and mental health. However, poor accessibility and negative experiences of healthcare services for those with mental illness (MI) have been consistently observed within literature with recent research identifying poor experiences of physiotherapeutic interactions and processes such as referrals and discharges. One way to help improve physiotherapy services for this population is to understa

A study of 163 physiotherapists' conception of their professional role and autonomy and the implications for their work has been completed. About half (55%) felt that physicians and other staff members primarily expected them to act as independent professionals, while about one-third (34%) felt that they were expected to undertake treatment after referral from or discussion with the physician. Most physiotherapists (86%) were firmly in control of their treatment methods, but had somewhat restricted freedom in deciding whom to treat, and when to terminate treatment. The majority (96%) regarded

Abstract:

The phenomenon of professional migrations in the healthcare sector may exacerbate the problem of health workforce shortages. The scale of migration of medical personnel in Poland is estimated mainly on the certificates issued by the regional chambers confirming qualifications that grant the legal right to practice in other EU countries. Migrations concern also physiotherapists, who are the third largest group of health professionals. However, the problem of this phenomenon has not been assessed, and there is a lack of research in this area. The aim of the study was to compare the intention of

Abstract:

The field of physiotherapy is poised for transformative changes driven by technology integration, personalized treatment plans, and a shift towards prevention. Physiotherapists are increasingly utilizing wearable devices and tele-rehabilitation for patient monitoring and support. Personalized treatment plans, informed by wearable data and biomechanics, are replacing generic protocols. A proactive focus on injury prevention and multidisciplinary collaboration with healthcare professionals is emerging. As the global population ages, geriatric care will become central to physiotherapy. Evidence-b

Rehabilitation is a term which is generally perceived to be linked into physical therapy, geriatrics, drug addiction, mental disorders or care of individuals with chronic illnesses.

It is therefore not a research article, neither does it suggest that Covey’s philosophy alone will lead to success, but rather, it is intended to offer a paradigm we need to consider and work within when applying any of the management theories to the joint training of occupational therapy and physiotherapy students. Naturally such a philosophical paradigm cannot stand alone in the practical implementation of a merge
