Qualitative study.
To formulate recommendations for standards of physiotherapy care for people with complete traumatic paraplegia in India using a Delphi methodology.
India.
Twenty-three physiotherapy experts were invited to participate in an online consensus process. Fourteen (n = 14) of 23 physiotherapy experts from India accepted an invitation to participate in an online consensus development exercise (Response rate-60.86%). Four rounds of consensus meetings were conducted which involved posting the quotations from a previous study on expectations of people with paraplegia to obtain perceptions of physiotherapy experts in round 1, retrieving codes/code groups from round 1, posting these code groups in rounds 2 and 3 for experts' agreement/disagreement, the preparation of the draft of recommendations, and posting it in round 4 for experts' opinion. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ATLASti software for qualitative data analysis.
Recommendations for physiotherapy care for persons with complete traumatic paraplegia in India are presented.
Education to patients and/or caregivers regarding care post injury is one of the important recommendations by physiotherapy experts. It is emphasized that the subjective assessment of the patients, including their needs and preferences, is equally important as that of their objective assessment. Physiotherapy students and practicing physiotherapists must also enhance their knowledge to provide optimal physiotherapy care to people with paraplegia.
定性研究。
使用德尔菲法为印度完全性创伤性截瘫患者制定物理治疗护理标准的建议。
印度。
邀请 23 名物理治疗专家参与在线共识过程。23 名印度物理治疗专家中有 14 名（n=14）接受邀请参与在线共识制定练习（响应率为 60.86%）。进行了四轮共识会议，包括将先前研究中关于截瘫患者期望的引述发布到第一轮，从第一轮中检索代码/代码组，将这些代码组发布到第二轮和第三轮供专家同意/不同意，编写建议草案，并在第四轮征求专家意见。使用描述性统计和 ATLASti 软件对数据进行分析，用于定性数据分析。
提出了印度完全性创伤性截瘫患者物理治疗护理的建议。
向患者和/或护理人员提供受伤后护理方面的教育是物理治疗专家的重要建议之一。强调对患者的主观评估，包括他们的需求和偏好，与他们的客观评估同样重要。物理治疗学生和执业物理治疗师也必须提高知识水平，为截瘫患者提供最佳的物理治疗护理。
