Chest Physiotherapy01:24

Chest Physiotherapy

593
Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic technique used in respiratory care to improve ventilation, clear bronchial secretions, and enhance the efficiency of respiratory muscles. This therapy includes three primary procedures: postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. It can be performed on spontaneously breathing patients and those who are intubated and mechanically ventilated.
Purpose
CPT is primarily used for patients with excessive bronchial secretions who have difficulty clearing...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.0K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

18
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.1K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

4.2K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Area of Science:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Healthcare Education
  • Professional Standards

Background:

  • Rapid growth of the advanced practice physiotherapy (APP) model necessitates standardized education and roles.
  • Current lack of agreement on APP competencies and capabilities hinders professional development.
  • Urgent need for an international framework to support APP standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gather feedback from key stakeholders on a draft advanced practice physiotherapy competency and capability framework.
  • To revise and improve the draft framework based on collected stakeholder input.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing four multi-national online focus groups.
  • Thematic analysis conducted following Braun and Clarke's methodology.
  • Sixteen participants from five countries (UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) involved.

Main Results:

  • Five key themes emerged: clinical expert, experienced communicator, strong leader, collaborator, and knowledge creator.
  • A modified competency and capability framework was developed based on focus group feedback and subject matter expert input.
  • The revised framework comprises 24 competencies grouped under six domains.

Conclusions:

  • The study produced a modified core competency and capability framework for advanced practice physiotherapy.
  • This framework represents a significant step towards international standardization of APP education and training.
  • A commonly agreed-upon framework will support the consistent development of advanced practice physiotherapists globally.
