Methods of Documentation II: POMR

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Summary

High job demands and low job control increase turnover and pain risk for physical therapists. Understanding the psychosocial work environment is crucial for job satisfaction and well-being in this profession.

Area of Science:

Occupational Health
Physical Therapy
Psychosocial Factors in the Workplace

Background:

Job stress is linked to adverse health outcomes.
Previous studies indicated high job stress among physical therapists.
Larger sample studies on job stress in physical therapy are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

Assess psychological job demands and control in a national sample of physical therapists.
Compare these levels to national norms.
Investigate if high demands, low control, or job strain predict turnover or work-related pain.

Main Methods:

Prospective cohort study with a 1-year follow-up.
Randomly selected American Physical Therapy Association members (n=882).
Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) assessed psychosocial work environment; outcomes included job turnover and work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Main Results:

Physical therapists reported moderate demands and high control compared to national averages.
16% of therapists changed jobs; risk factors included high demands, low control, job strain, female sex, and younger age.
Over 50% reported work-related pain; risk factors included low control and job strain.

Conclusions:

Physical therapists generally perceive their work environment positively, with moderate demands and high control.
Job strain (high demands, low control) significantly increases the risk of turnover and work-related pain.
Physical therapists should consider psychosocial factors when selecting employment to mitigate risks.
