This study was designed to re-evaluate a comprehensive list of competencies for professional physical therapy practice that was developed, edited and field-tested three years ago. At that time, a representative population of physical therapy clinicians practising in the province of Quebec had rated 224 competence statements as to the respective levels of importance within their own professional practice. A smaller sample of these same physical therapists was again surveyed, three years later, for their reaction to the list in relation to clinical practice today. Of this group, 23 were still staff therapists and two had become administrators. The response rates indicate changes in treatment patterns with regard to cardiorespiratory conditions, electrotherapy, and prevention and maintenance programs. The changes in response rates, noted in the category of administration, can be attributed to the change in position of the two physical therapists who had become administrators. As shown in the previous study, there is still little evidence of research-related activities being carried out in the clinical field. This re-evaluation was undertaken in order to ascertain if there were changes in clinical practice occurring over time and whether or not these changes could be related to a change of position.
本研究旨在重新评估一份三年前制定、编辑并进行了实地测试的专业物理治疗实践能力综合清单。当时，魁北克省从事物理治疗的临床医生代表群体对224条能力陈述在其自身专业实践中的各自重要程度进行了评级。三年后，再次对这些物理治疗师中的一个较小样本进行调查，询问他们对该清单与当今临床实践相关性的看法。在这个样本中，23人仍是临床治疗师，2人已成为管理人员。回复率表明在心肺疾病、电疗法以及预防和维护项目的治疗模式方面存在变化。在管理类别中注意到的回复率变化可归因于两名成为管理人员的物理治疗师的职位变动。如先前研究所示，临床领域开展与研究相关活动的证据仍然很少。进行此次重新评估是为了确定随着时间推移临床实践是否发生了变化，以及这些变化是否与职位变动有关。
