The objective of this study was to investigate the experience of physiotherapists working in a university hospital in Switzerland during the 1^st wave of the COVID-19 crisis, more specifically their subjective experience, professional involvement, perception of management and perceived implications for the future.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This interpretative qualitative study investigated the subjective experience of a purposeful sample of 12 physiotherapists using two 2 h semi-directive focus group interviews conducted by a physiotherapist in June 2020. Data were recorded, transcribed, and analysed using a thematic analysis approach. The report was approved by participants and the study was audited by a health anthropologist.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The most impressive points were the unprecedented nature of the crisis, the health threat, the hospital's capacity to reorganise on a large scale and the solidarity between colleagues. Participants expressed a high level of commitment to their role despite the potentially serious repercussions at an individual level. Pride and stress coexisted for those directly involved in the crisis, while those working in a reduced activity department felt anxious and idle. The need for immediacy in decision-making and action led to a flattening of hierarchies and an increase of uncertainties. Communication management was seen as the main area for improvement. Physiotherapists hoped that their involvement would improve recognition of the profession but feared that working conditions would deteriorate after the crisis.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The physiotherapists expressed high dedication to their profession and pride to be part of the \"war effort\" during the crisis. The stress level was partly tempered by the solidarity amongst health professionals and distraction by engaging in action. Despite the mental load, this situation was also seen as an opportunity to grow at a personal and professional level. The healthcare system capacity having not been exceeded in Switzerland, less distress related to death and powerlessness were expressed than in other studies investigating healthcare professionals' experience of the COVID-19 crisis.</p>","PeriodicalId":72290,"journal":{"name":"Archives of physiotherapy","volume":"13 1","pages":"16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10436384/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10047335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the interest in post-surgical rehabilitation has grown, since it is crucial in order to achieve full recovery and successful outcomes. The first aim of this study is to investigate the Italian physiotherapists (PTs) clinical practice in the management of patients with TSA and RTSA and to compare it with the best evidence available in the literature. The second purpose of this study is to assess any existing difference between the survey answers and the different sample subgroups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials and methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This cross-sectional observation study was designed following the CHERRIES checklist and the STROBE guidelines. A 4-sections survey with a total of 30 questions was developed for investigating post-surgery rehabilitation management in patient with TSA and RTSA. The survey was sent to Italian PTs from December 2020 until February 2021.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Six-hundred and seven PTs completed the survey regarding both TSA and RTSA; 43.5% of participants (n = 264/607) stated that TSA is more likely to dislocate during abduction and external rotation. Regarding reverse prosthesis, 53.5% (n = 325/607) affirmed RTSA is more likely to dislocate during internal rotation, adduction and extension. In order to recover passive Range of Motion (pROM), 62.1% (n = 377/607) of participants reported that they gain anterior flexion, abduction, internal rotation, external rotation up to 30°, with full pROM in all directions granted at 6-12 weeks. Regarding the active ROM (aROM), 44.2% (n = 268/607) of participants stated that they use active-assisted procedures within a range under 90° of elevation and abduction at 3-4 weeks and higher than 90° at 6-12 weeks, with full recovery at a 3-month mark. Sixty-five point seven percent of the sample (n = 399/607) declared that, during the rehabilitation of patients with TSA, they tend to focus on strengthening the scapular and rotator cuff muscles, deltoid, biceps and triceps. Conversely, 68.0% (n = 413/607) of participants stated that, for the rehabilitation of patients with RTSA, they preferably focus on strengthening the periscapular and deltoid muscles. Finally, 33.1% (n = 201/607) of participants indicated the instability of the glenoid prosthetic component as the most frequent complication in patients with TSA, while 42.5% (n = 258/607) of PTs identified scapular neck erosion as the most frequent post-RTSA surgery complication.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The clinical practice of Italian PTs effectively reflects the indications of the literature as far as the strengthening of the main muscle groups and the prevention of movements, which may result in a dislocation, are concerned.
