Physical therapists are encouraged to use the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice (Guide) in their practice. The purpose of this study was to determine whether and how pediatric physical therapists (PTs) use the Guide.
A nationwide electronic survey was sent to pediatric physical therapists. Four hundred seventy-five members returned the survey yielding a 9.6% response rate.
Respondents reported that they practice consistently with the Guide's patient/client management model but that they do not find the Guide useful. Respondents made recommendations for a future edition of the Guide.
Pediatric PTs value the Guide as a reference, resource, and teaching tool. When the Guide is revised, the following should be considered: pediatric content, format, and utility of the Guide; educational needs of pediatric PTs about the Guide; and how stakeholders and PTs with other specialties view and use the Guide.
鼓励物理治疗师在实践中使用《物理治疗师实践指南》（《指南》）。本研究的目的是确定儿科物理治疗师是否以及如何使用《指南》。
向儿科物理治疗师发送了一项全国性电子调查。475名成员回复了调查，回复率为9.6%。
受访者表示他们的实践与《指南》的患者/客户管理模式一致，但他们认为《指南》并无用处。受访者对《指南》的未来版本提出了建议。
儿科物理治疗师重视《指南》作为参考、资源和教学工具的价值。在修订《指南》时，应考虑以下方面：《指南》的儿科内容、格式和实用性；儿科物理治疗师对《指南》的教育需求；以及其他专业的利益相关者和物理治疗师如何看待和使用《指南》。
