Many physiotherapists have moved from treating persons on individual and group levels to working in different service positions on organizational and societal levels within healthcare organizations. The present study has investigated how physiotherapists working on those levels understand their job. The aim of the study was to describe variations in physiotherapists' understanding of their work on organizational and societal levels within healthcare organizations. The research question was: how do physiotherapists understand their work on organizational and societal levels?
A phenomenographic approach was chosen. Physiotherapists working in different positions on organizational and societal levels were interviewed.
Among our 21 informants we found three logically interrelated categories: 'exploring and performing an assignment', 'interactive learning and balancing support' and 'moving within a continually changing structure'. These three categories of descriptions formed an outcome space of ways of understanding work on organizational and societal levels within healthcare organizations.
The findings in this study can be used as tools in professional discussions on how ways of understanding work have an impact on how work is performed and how change is achieved.
许多物理治疗师已从个体和小组层面的治疗工作，转向在医疗保健机构内的组织和社会层面担任不同的服务岗位。本研究调查了在这些层面工作的物理治疗师如何理解他们的工作。该研究的目的是描述物理治疗师对其在医疗保健机构内组织和社会层面工作理解的差异。研究问题是：物理治疗师如何理解他们在组织和社会层面的工作？
采用现象学方法。对在组织和社会层面担任不同职位的物理治疗师进行了访谈。
在我们的21名受访者中，我们发现了三个逻辑上相互关联的类别：“探索并执行任务”、“互动学习与平衡支持”以及“在不断变化的结构中前行”。这三类描述构成了理解医疗保健机构内组织和社会层面工作方式的结果空间。
本研究的结果可作为专业讨论的工具，用于探讨理解工作的方式如何影响工作的执行以及如何实现变革。
