To determine patients' perspectives of components of patient-centred physiotherapy and its essential elements.
Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews to explore patients' judgements of patient-centred physiotherapy. Grounded theory was used to determine common themes among the interviews and develop theory iteratively from the data.
Musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapy at a provincial city hospital.
Eight individuals who had recently received physiotherapy.
Five categories of characteristics relating to patient-centred physiotherapy were generated from the data: the ability to communicate; confidence; knowledge and professionalism; an understanding of people and an ability to relate; and transparency of progress and outcome. These categories did not tend to occur in isolation, but formed a composite picture of patient-centred physiotherapy from the patient's perspective.
This research elucidates and reinforces the importance of patient-centredness in physiotherapy, and suggests that patients may be the best judges of the affective, non-technical aspects of a given healthcare episode.
确定患者对以患者为中心的物理治疗及其基本要素的看法。
使用半结构化访谈的定性研究，探讨患者对以患者为中心的物理治疗的判断。扎根理论用于确定访谈中的常见主题，并从数据中逐步发展理论。
省级城市医院的肌肉骨骼门诊物理治疗。
最近接受过物理治疗的 8 人。
从数据中产生了与以患者为中心的物理治疗相关的五个特征类别：沟通能力；信心；知识和专业精神；对人和关联能力；以及进度和结果的透明度。这些类别并非孤立出现，而是从患者的角度形成了以患者为中心的物理治疗的综合图景。
这项研究阐明并强调了物理治疗中以患者为中心的重要性，并表明患者可能是给定医疗保健事件的情感、非技术方面的最佳判断者。
