Abstract
Background: Little is known about delivering telehealth from a healthcare provider's perspective.
Purpose: To investigate physiotherapists' (PTs) experiences in delivering live online exercise and education for people with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: This was a qualitative individual interview study with a thematic analysis approach. The interviewees were six PTs delivering 8 weeks of supervised online exercise and education for people with knee OA in secondary public care in Denmark.
Results: The three main themes were (1) From hands to words-on the transition from on-site to on-line physiotherapy, (2) Online selection-on the perceived barriers to managing a telehealth service and (3) Therapeutic relation under pressure-on the contextual difficulties in building relationships and alliances in online classes.
Conclusion: The PTs in this study seemed to gradually come to terms with delivering first-line OA care online, appreciating advantages and new possibilities. PTs' initial apprehension towards this new form of physiotherapy service may be rooted in the traditional conception of physiotherapy as a predominantly manual profession but also in a lack of formal training in physiotherapy telehealth services. This study underlines the growing need for better and more formalised training in physiotherapy telehealth services to meet growing demands.
从 "手 "到 "字"--理疗师为膝关节骨性关节炎患者提供在线锻炼和教育的经验》(From Hands to Words-Physiotherapists Experience of Delivering Online Exercise and Education for Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis)。
背景:目的:调查物理治疗师(PTs)为膝关节骨性关节炎(OA)患者提供实时在线锻炼和教育的经验:这是一项采用专题分析方法的定性个人访谈研究。受访者为六名康复治疗师,他们在丹麦的二级公共医疗机构为膝关节OA患者提供为期8周的在线运动和教育指导:三大主题分别是:(1)从手到文字--从现场物理治疗到在线物理治疗的过渡;(2)在线选择--管理远程医疗服务的感知障碍;(3)压力下的治疗关系--在线课程中建立关系和联盟的背景困难:本研究中的康复治疗师似乎逐渐接受了通过网络提供一线 OA 护理的方式,并认识到了其优势和新的可能性。物理治疗师最初对这种新形式的物理治疗服务感到忧虑,可能源于传统观念中物理治疗主要是一种手工操作的职业,也可能源于他们缺乏物理治疗远程医疗服务方面的正规培训。本研究强调,为满足日益增长的需求,在物理治疗远程保健服务方面需要更好、更正规的培训。
