Abstract

Purpose: This study examined what physiotherapists and physiotherapy students understand and know about executive functioning (EF), what EF outcome measures they use clinically, and whether their primary area of practice influences their assessment practices.

Method: An open online survey was distributed to registered members of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, its various divisions, and colleges of physiotherapy within Canada that took approximately 15 minutes to complete and was available for 13 months. Pearson correlation was used to assess the relationship between subjective and objective understanding and knowledge of EF (UKEF) and a one-way multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze differences in survey responses based on respondents' primary area of practice.

Results: A total of 335 respondents consented to participate (completion rate = 78.4%). There was a significant moderate positive correlation between subjective and objective UKEF (r = 0.43; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.54; n = 260; p < 0.001). Significant differences in survey responses were related to physiotherapists' primary areas of practice (i.e., musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory, or multi-systems; F_12,555.89 = 2.29, p = 0.008; Wilks Λ = 0.880; partial η² = 0.042).

Conclusions: Respondents reported that they had good subjective UKEF, but this was only moderately correlated with objective UKEF.

加拿大物理治疗师和物理治疗师学生在临床实践中执行功能评估知识和使用情况的调查。

目的：本研究调查了理疗师和理疗师学生对执行功能（EF）的理解和了解，他们在临床上使用的EF结果指标，以及他们的主要实践领域是否影响他们的评估实践。方法：向加拿大理疗协会、其各部门和加拿大理疗学院的注册成员分发一份公开的在线调查，该调查耗时约15分钟，有效期为13个月。Pearson相关性用于评估主观和客观对EF（UKEF）的理解和知识之间的关系，并使用单向多变量方差分析来分析基于受访者主要实践领域的调查结果差异。结果：共有335名受访者同意参与（完成率=78.4%）。主观和客观UKEF之间存在显著的中度正相关（r=0.43；95%置信区间：0.32，0.54；n=260；p F12555.89=2.29，p=0.008；Wilks∧=0.880；部分η2=0.042）。结论：受访者报告他们具有良好的主观UKEF，但这仅与客观UKEF适度相关。

期刊介绍： Physiotherapy Canada is the official, scholarly, refereed journal of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), giving direction to excellence in clinical science and reasoning, knowledge translation, therapeutic skills and patient-centred care. Founded in 1923, Physiotherapy Canada meets the diverse needs of national and international readers and serves as a key repository of inquiries, evidence and advances in the practice of physiotherapy. Physiotherapy Canada publishes the results of qualitative and quantitative research including systematic reviews, meta analyses, meta syntheses, public/health policy research, clinical practice guidelines, and case reports. Key messages, clinical commentaries, brief reports and book reviews support knowledge translation to clinical practice. In addition to delivering authoritative, original scientific articles and reports of significant clinical studies, Physiotherapy Canada’s editorials and abstracts are presented in both English and French, expanding the journal’s reach nationally and internationally. Key messages form an integral part of each research article, providing a succinct summary for readers of all levels. This approach also allows readers to quickly get a feel for ‘what is already known’ and ‘what this study adds to’ the subject. Clinician’s commentaries for key articles assist in bridging research and practice by discussing the article’s impact at the clinical level. The journal also features special themed series which bring readers up to date research supporting evidence-informed practice. The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) is the national professional association representing almost 15,000 members distributed throughout all provinces and territories. CPA’s mission is to provide leadership and direction to the physiotherapy profession, foster excellence in practice, education and research, and promote high standards of health in Canada.
