To develop a greater understanding of the personal experiences of overseas trained physiotherapists working in the NHS.
Qualitative research design using Phenomenological research approach.
Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted which were voice recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis.
Physiotherapy services across two NHS Trusts.
Ten overseas trained physiotherapists who were employed in the NHS on a permanent contract for a minimum of 1 year.
Three themes were developed: feeling superior, adapting to NHS physiotherapy practice and gaining identity.
Participants had mostly had a positive experience of working in the NHS. Owing to the heterogeneous nature of these participants' education in their home countries and experiences in the NHS, a tailored approach to induction and training may be required to support overseas trained physiotherapists adaptation to the NHS.
深入了解在英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)工作的海外受训物理治疗师的个人经历。
采用现象学研究方法的定性研究设计。
进行半结构化的个体访谈,将访谈内容进行录音、逐字转录,并使用主题分析进行分析。
两家 NHS 信托机构的物理治疗服务。
10 名在 NHS 工作的海外受训物理治疗师,他们在 NHS 签订了至少 1 年的永久合同。
确定了三个主题:感觉优越、适应 NHS 物理治疗实践和获得认同。
参与者对在 NHS 工作的经历大多持积极态度。由于这些参与者在其祖国接受的教育和在 NHS 的经历具有异质性,可能需要采取量身定制的入职和培训方法,以支持海外受训物理治疗师适应 NHS。
