    Occupational area is key in physiotherapy time allocation. This study analyzed how factors like professional post and sex influence working hours, finding occupational area most significant for time utilization.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Sciences
    • Occupational Therapy
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Understanding time allocation is crucial for efficient healthcare delivery.
    • Physiotherapists' working hours are influenced by various professional and personal factors.
    • Previous studies have not comprehensively analyzed these factors in northern Sweden.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the relative importance of different factors in allocating physiotherapy working hours.
    • To quantify the explanatory power of selected variables on time utilization.
    • To identify key drivers of variations in physiotherapists' daily tasks.

    Main Methods:

    • A time budget study was conducted among 149 physiotherapists in Västerbotten County, Sweden.
    • Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA) was employed to assess factor importance.

  • Explained variance (R-squared) was calculated for different work tasks.

    • Main Results:

    • Occupational area emerged as the most significant factor influencing working hour distribution.
    • Professional post and sex showed a slight effect on time utilization, while working hours did not.
    • Explained variance was fair for patient treatment (R2=0.37) and transport (R2=0.30).

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational area is a primary determinant of how physiotherapists allocate their working hours.
    • Other unmeasured factors significantly impact time allocation for tasks beyond patient treatment and transport.
    • These findings can inform better resource management and scheduling in physiotherapy services.
