Abstract

Purpose: Pediatric physical therapists care for a diverse population for whom social determinants of health (SDOH) impact health outcomes. This study examines changes in knowledge and behavior following a continuing education course on SDOH.

Methods: This mixed methods study design included participants from a convenience sample of pediatric physical therapists enrolled in a continuing education course in SDOH. Data were collected through surveys, cases, and interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive frequencies and comparisons. Qualitative data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach.

Results: Participants significantly improved their knowledge level in all content areas and increased the frequency in which they acted related to many content areas of the course.

Conclusions: This study highlights the ways physical therapists can potentially optimize health outcomes. The findings contribute to the Knowledge to Action framework.

期刊介绍： Pediatric Physical Therapy is an indexed international journal, that publishes peer reviewed research related to the practice of physical therapy for children with movement disorders. The editorial board is comprised of an international panel of researchers and clinical scholars that oversees a rigorous peer review process. The journal serves as the official journal for the pediatric physical therapy professional organizations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. The journal includes articles that support evidenced based practice of physical therapy for children with neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and developmental conditions that lead to disorders of movement, and research reports that contribute to the foundational sciences of pediatric physical therapy, ranging from biomechanics and pediatric exercise science to neurodevelopmental science. To these ends the journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews directed to specific clinical questions that further the science of physical therapy, clinical guidelines and case reports that describe unusual conditions or cutting edge interventions with sound rationale. The journal adheres to the ethical standards of theInternational Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
