RESUMO

Purpose: To describe the knowledge, attitudes, and current practices of Canadian physiotherapists in preventing and managing diabetes. Methods: Members of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association were recruited by email to participate in a Web-based survey. The survey contained 40 items in four domains: demographics and education, attitudes and beliefs, current practices, and knowledge of diabetes. A descriptive analysis was completed for all the response variables from the survey. Results: A total of 401 physiotherapists from 10 provinces and 2 territories participated. Respondents were most confident in providing education about exercise and had decreasing confidence in providing education about managing secondary complications, weight management, blood sugar control, and nutrition, respectively. Only 32.4% of participants offered diabetes management counselling, citing lack of training. Knowledge was generally good, except for activity guidelines. Conclusions: A significant proportion of physiotherapists lack confidence in providing key aspects of care to patients with diabetes. Gaps in clinical practice and knowledge of activity guidelines were also observed. This study highlights the need to review entry-level physiotherapy training and to develop continuing educational opportunities in this area.


Objectif : décrire les connaissances, attitudes et pratiques actuelles des physiothérapeutes canadiens relativement à la prévention et à la gestion du diabète. Méthodes : un sondage a été mené sur le Web auprès de participants recrutés par courrier électronique parmi les membres de l'Association canadienne de physiothérapie. Le sondage comprenait 40 questions appartenant à quatre domaines différents : démographie et formation, attitudes et croyances, pratiques actuelles et connaissances sur le diabète. Une analyse descriptive a été effectuée pour toutes les variables-réponses du sondage. Résultats : au total, 401 physiothérapeutes provenant des 10 provinces et des 2 territoires ont participé. Le niveau de confiance des répondants était à son plus haut quand il s'agissait de fournir à leurs patients de l'information sur l'exercice, mais il diminuait progressivement quand il s'agissait de les guider dans la gestion des complications secondaires, du poids, de la glycémie ou encore de la nutrition. Seulement 32,4% des participants offraient des conseils sur la gestion du diabète, les autres invoquant leur manque de formation. De façon générale, le niveau de connaissances était bon, sauf à l'égard des lignes directrices en matière d'activité physique pour les diabétiques. Conclusion : une proportion significative de physiothérapeutes n'a pas la confiance nécessaire pour offrir certains aspects essentiels de la prise en charge des patients diabétiques. Des lacunes ont aussi été observées dans la pratique clinique auprès de ces patients et dans la connaissance des lignes directrices en matière d'activité physique. L'étude met en évidence la nécessité de revoir la formation de base des physiothérapeutes et de développer la formation continue dans ce domaine.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To estimate the incidence and examine the pattern of post-thoracotomy pulmonary complications (PPC) that are amenable to physiotherapy treatment and to estimate the effect size of a pre-thoracotomy physiotherapy education session compared to no preoperative physiotherapy for reducing PPC. METHODS: Forty-two patients undergoing thoracotomy participated in this two-group retrospective-prospective cohort study. The preop group (n=22) received physiotherapy education prior to surgery and the no preop group (n=20) did not receive preoperative physiotherapy education. Chest radiographs were examined for PPC for 5 days postoperatively. Incidences of PPC were determined. The effect size was based on a grand count of PPC. RESULTS: The 5-day incidence of atelectasis, collapse, consolidation, and other complications was 85.0%, 39.0%, 31.7%, and 38.1%, respectively. Patterns of PPC showed large increases at days 2 and 3. The effect size for pre-thoracotomy physiotherapy education was zero. CONCLUSIONS: In our sample, incidence of PPC was high and did not substantially differ based on whether or not preoperative education was provided.
