The aim of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the attractiveness of employed physiotherapy, considering the shortage of physiotherapists in the salaried sector, previously unsuccessful measures.
A survey was conducted using an online self-administered questionnaire. The primary outcome measure involved assessing respondents' agreement with each statement in key domains. Regarding the secondary outcome measures, the relationships between respondents' age and their responses, as well as the relationship between their profession and their responses, were examined.
The study included 448 participants in France, encompassing both primary and secondary care settings. The sample consisted of practicing physiotherapists (83.1%) and healthcare managers (16.9%). Respondents expressed significant concerns regarding the attractiveness of employed physiotherapy. For the primary outcome, the study identified potential solutions, including improving financial recognition, promoting continuous professional development, and enhancing inclusion in healthcare projects. For the secondary outcomes, statistically significant relationships were found between respondents' age and their answers for variables 16 (additional qualifications; p = 0.048), 24 (work-life balance; p = 0.010), and 25 (professional quality of life; p = 0.0005).
The findings underscore the need to enhance financial recognition, support continuous professional development, and increase inclusion in healthcare projects to effectively improve the attractiveness of employed physiotherapy. These results have significant implications for policymakers and healthcare institutions grappling with recruitment challenges. Further research and collaborative efforts are crucial to implementing the recommended measures and assessing their impact on the employed physiotherapy profession.
鉴于受薪部门物理治疗师短缺以及此前措施未成功，本研究旨在调查影响受雇物理治疗吸引力的因素。
使用在线自填问卷进行调查。主要结局指标涉及评估受访者对关键领域中每项陈述的认同度。关于次要结局指标，研究了受访者年龄与其回答之间的关系，以及其职业与其回答之间的关系。
该研究纳入了法国的448名参与者，涵盖初级和二级护理环境。样本包括执业物理治疗师（83.1%）和医疗保健管理人员（16.9%）。受访者对受雇物理治疗的吸引力表达了重大担忧。对于主要结局，研究确定了潜在解决方案，包括提高经济认可、促进持续专业发展以及增强在医疗保健项目中的参与度。对于次要结局，发现受访者年龄与变量16（额外资质；p = 0.048）、24（工作与生活平衡；p = 0.010）和25（职业生活质量；p = 0.0005）的回答之间存在统计学显著关系。
研究结果强调需要提高经济认可、支持持续专业发展并增加在医疗保健项目中的参与度，以有效提高受雇物理治疗的吸引力。这些结果对面临招聘挑战的政策制定者和医疗保健机构具有重大意义。进一步的研究和合作努力对于实施推荐措施并评估其对受雇物理治疗行业的影响至关重要。
