To gather the perspectives of physiotherapists and physiotherapist assistants on essential competencies for intraprofessional (physiotherapist-physiotherapist assistant) collaboration.
A survey was developed to gather physiotherapist and physiotherapist assistant perceptions of the essential elements of effective and efficient intraprofessional collaborative practice. Participants were asked to rate the importance of 36 elements in 6 different categories (communication, collaboration, consultation, assignment of tasks, conflict management, and roles/responsibilities) involved in intraprofessional practice.
A total of 1049 physiotherapists and 121 physiotherapist assistants responded to the survey. Analysis identified 10 competency elements perceived by participants as essential to effective and efficient intraprofessional collaboration. Comparisons using demographic variables consistently yielded the same top 10 elements.
Our results indicated that physiotherapists and physiotherapist assistants working in private and public practice share very similar views on what is essential for effective intraprofessional practice. The consensus is that communication is key; open lines of communication help to determine responsibilities. Physiotherapy pre-licensure and continuing education programmes should include opportunities to work on communication, listening, and the skills needed to interact and collaborate effectively.
收集物理治疗师和物理治疗师助理对于专业内（物理治疗师 - 物理治疗师助理）协作的核心能力的看法。
开展了一项调查，以收集物理治疗师和物理治疗师助理对高效专业内协作实践的关键要素的看法。参与者被要求对专业内实践所涉及的6个不同类别（沟通、协作、咨询、任务分配、冲突管理以及角色/职责）中的36个要素的重要性进行评分。
共有1049名物理治疗师和121名物理治疗师助理回复了该调查。分析确定了参与者认为对高效专业内协作至关重要的10项能力要素。使用人口统计学变量进行的比较始终得出相同的前10项要素。
我们的结果表明，在私人和公共医疗机构工作的物理治疗师和物理治疗师助理对于高效专业内实践的关键要素看法非常相似。共识是沟通是关键；开放的沟通渠道有助于明确职责。物理治疗师执照前教育和继续教育项目应包括培养沟通、倾听以及有效互动和协作所需技能的机会。
