Abstract
Background and purpose: The education of physiotherapists is disengaged from social control, which is one of the principles of the Brazilian public healthcare system. Social control ensures the participation of the population in the planning and monitoring of the public healthcare system and depends on qualified professionals. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate how training in social control occurs in undergraduate physiotherapy courses at public higher education institutions in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
Methods: Five teaching staff members were interviewed and six teaching projects were analyzed from a total sample of six public higher education institutions in the state of São Paulo using a qualitative method.
Results: The physiotherapy curriculum at Brazilian higher education institutions is based on the national curricular guidelines. However, these guidelines have gaps in the curricular guidance related to social control in terms of ensuring consistent training throughout the course, practical experiences, and a sufficient workload. To overcome barriers to training in social control, there is a need for the qualification of teaching staff, the adoption of skill-based education, the strengthening of social control, and a human resource policy favoring the hiring of physiotherapists in the Brazilian public healthcare system.
Discussion: Training in social control in physiotherapy courses at higher education institutions remains a challenge, considering the complex skills involved and the requirement of curricular changes. The present study only analyzed public educational institutions in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
期刊介绍：
Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
