The purposes of this study were to identify gender-related values, perceptions, and experiences of female physical therapists as these factors relate to female physical therapists' professional development and to offer an initial critique of the identified elements in comparison with a traditional model of professionalism. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 physical therapists in two different states by the primary investigator. The interviews were analyzed utilizing qualitative data-analysis techniques, and a conceptual framework was developed from the literature and the interviews. Three major thematic categories were identified: (1) values, comprising the subcomponents of caring, relationship, empowerment, and context; (2) family role, comprising the subcomponents of enhancements, limitations, and coping strategies; and (3) sexism, comprising the subcomponents of leadership, money, and respect. These findings provide an initial basis for understanding more about factors that may both limit and enhance female physical therapists' professional development.
本研究的目的是确定女性物理治疗师与性别相关的价值观、观念和经历，因为这些因素与女性物理治疗师的职业发展相关，并与传统的专业模式相比，对所确定的要素进行初步批判。首席研究员对两个不同州的10名物理治疗师进行了深入访谈。采用定性数据分析技术对访谈进行分析，并根据文献和访谈构建了一个概念框架。确定了三个主要主题类别：(1)价值观，包括关怀、关系、赋权和背景等子成分；(2)家庭角色，包括增强、限制和应对策略等子成分；(3)性别歧视，包括领导、金钱和尊重等子成分。这些发现为进一步了解可能限制和促进女性物理治疗师职业发展的因素提供了初步基础。
