The purpose of this study was to assess physical therapist's beliefs, practice patterns, and barriers of incorporation of mindfulness meditation into the management of individuals with chronic dizziness.
An electronic survey was sent to physical therapists with experience treating individuals with dizziness and vestibular disorders. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis were conducted.
The majority of respondents agree that anxiety limits functional and participation outcomes with individuals with chronic dizziness and adoption of a mindfulness meditation practice could be helpful to address this. However, a much smaller percentage of respondents reported currently using these techniques a majority of time during their clinical practice.
Barriers exist that prevent the widespread implementation of meditation and mindfulness in physical therapy practice. Potential limiting factors highlight that further research is needed to explore these barriers and evaluate the outcomes of patients with chronic dizziness when meditation is applied in practice.
本研究旨在评估物理治疗师将正念冥想融入慢性头晕患者管理的信念、实践模式和障碍。
向有治疗头晕和前庭障碍患者经验的物理治疗师发送电子调查。进行描述性统计和卡方分析。
大多数受访者认为焦虑会限制慢性头晕患者的功能和参与结果，而正念冥想的实践可能有助于解决这个问题。然而，只有一小部分受访者报告说，在他们的临床实践中，大部分时间都在使用这些技术。
存在阻碍冥想和正念在物理治疗实践中广泛应用的障碍。潜在的限制因素表明，需要进一步研究以探索这些障碍，并评估在实践中应用冥想时慢性头晕患者的结果。
