Abstract:

Abstract Background and Purpose. The number of older adults with cancer is growing, increasing the need for professionals who are able to meet these patients' special needs. In palliative care settings, physical therapists strive to promote quality of life. Minimal research exists, however, to guide therapists working with patients with terminal illness. The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge that can be used by physical therapists to more effectively assess and treat older people with cancer who are receiving hospice care.

Abstract Introduction International research shows high levels of job demands and psychological resources for physical therapists, and job strain is considered to be moderate. So far, publications are based on therapists with varying length of service. Little is known about job strain during the first year in the profession. Aim To investigate the level of job strain of German novice physical therapists and to identify common workplace stressors. Methods We conducted a web-based survey among physical therapists who had been working for 12 month or less. Using a self-administrated questionnaire

Abstract:

Objective: To describe some clinical issues encountered in individual and group therapy with women with metastatic breast cancer. Conclusions: The pressure to ‘keep positive’ poses dilemmas for patients and therapists alike, whether in individual or group therapy. The basis of skilled supportive care rests on the ability of therapists to assist patients and their families to face death rather than avoid it. Paradoxically, facing issues of death and dying leads to a greater sense of control, and empowers patients to reorder life's priorities, thus improving quality of life and relationships. In

Abstract:

Gender matters and has an impact, and it is intended to encourage readers to think about this important issue in clinical practice, education, research, and a wider context of public health1. Due to the dearth of gender theoretical knowledge that has been discovered within the field of physiotherapy, there are still many difficulties that women must overcome in today's world of gender equality and feminism for women's rights2. Historically, women are predominated in the physiotherapy profession, although this has gradually changed throughout the years3. According to Chartered Society of Physio

Older persons, particularly women, who in later life require intervention for mental and physical disability, will become an increasing proportion of the population served by health professionals. Personal, dispositional and contextual factors all play an important role in how these women cope with physical and mental health stressors. An improved understanding of both the stressors and potential coping resources available to this population can assist therapists to design interventions for maximal efficacy.

Chronic pelvic pain in women is a debilitating, costly condition often treated by physical therapists. The etiology of this condition is multifactorial and poorly understood, given the complex interplay of muscles, bones, and soft tissue that comprise the pelvis.

In the last decade, several investigators have highlighted the role of psychological variables in conditions such as vulvodynia and painful bladder syndrome.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), one of the most serious diseases in the arthritis family, is a chronic illness affecting about 1.3 million Americans aged 18 and older. For people with RA, participation in their previous physical activities may no longer be an option. They may seek alternative physical activities or change pattern in the pursuit of physical activities. Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of research studies that examined the impacts of RA on physical activities.
