Abstract
To determine usability, feasibility, and reliability of an online questionnaire to assess clinicians’ adherence to 10 postacute rehabilitation quality indicators (QIs) for total hip (THR) and knee replacement (TKR) and explore current rehabilitation practices across Canada. Following usability testing with clinicians in BC and Quebec, we recruited rehabilitation clinicians across Canada to complete the online survey. Respondents rated adherence (past 3 months), importance, and feasibility for 10 QIs. We resent the survey 2–3 weeks later (test–retest reliability). Based on usability testing, we made minor changes in wording, altered response options, and created a French language version. In total, 238 clinicians completed all or parts of the English ( n = 123) and French ( n = 115) questionnaires. Respondents mostly practiced in the public sector (88%) and outpatient settings (42%). On average, clinicians met (“always” or “often” response) 23.3% (SD 13.7%, 95% CI 21.1, 25.4) of THR and 25.5% (SD 15.1%, 95% CI 23.0, 27.9) of TKR indicators. There were mixed views on the importance and feasibility of the QIs. Varied rehabilitation formats, duration, and dosage were described. Canadian rehabilitation clinicians report low overall adherence to THR and TKR rehabilitation QIs and differing rehabilitation approaches and models of care.
期刊介绍:
Physiotherapy Canada is the official, scholarly, refereed journal of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), giving direction to excellence in clinical science and reasoning, knowledge translation, therapeutic skills and patient-centred care.
Founded in 1923, Physiotherapy Canada meets the diverse needs of national and international readers and serves as a key repository of inquiries, evidence and advances in the practice of physiotherapy.
Physiotherapy Canada publishes the results of qualitative and quantitative research including systematic reviews, meta analyses, meta syntheses, public/health policy research, clinical practice guidelines, and case reports. Key messages, clinical commentaries, brief reports and book reviews support knowledge translation to clinical practice.
In addition to delivering authoritative, original scientific articles and reports of significant clinical studies, Physiotherapy Canada’s editorials and abstracts are presented in both English and French, expanding the journal’s reach nationally and internationally. Key messages form an integral part of each research article, providing a succinct summary for readers of all levels. This approach also allows readers to quickly get a feel for ‘what is already known’ and ‘what this study adds to’ the subject.
Clinician’s commentaries for key articles assist in bridging research and practice by discussing the article’s impact at the clinical level. The journal also features special themed series which bring readers up to date research supporting evidence-informed practice.
The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) is the national professional association representing almost 15,000 members distributed throughout all provinces and territories. CPA’s mission is to provide leadership and direction to the physiotherapy profession, foster excellence in practice, education and research, and promote high standards of health in Canada.
