“…Physiotherapy ensures knowledge transfer, clinical decision-making, and uncertainty to avoid exacerbating disability [29] caused by musculoskeletal disorders, which ultimately involves co-decision to return to daily life and work activities. Similar to the Croatian experience, Ristimäki et al state that the physician makes a decision that depends on the assessment and agreement with the patient, but it is clear that it does not always have to be satisfactory for both parties [30]. About two-thirds of our respondents agree that a physiotherapist can independently decide whether a patient is capable of returning to daily life and work activities.…”

Introduction.Research from developed European countries shows that self-referral to physiotherapy can provide adequate clinically and financially effective care for musculoskeletal disorders and is supported by most healthcare stakeholders. This pilot cross-sectional study aimed to investigate Croatian patients' attitudes about physiotherapists and self-referral to physiotherapy and determine whether specific characteristics of the respondents influence attitudes. Methods. The study involved 125 subjects, outpatient physiotherapy patients. Sociodemographic and medical data were collected at the end of the physiotherapy cycle. At the same time, the respondents filled out a survey questionnaire on attitudes about physiotherapists and self-referral to physiotherapy, which was created for this research. Results. The respondents attitudes show that physiotherapists possess and practice the necessary competencies in the health care of musculoskeletal disorders and that they are insufficiently represented in health care. The results implicate that physiotherapy is a patient-centred, effective and well-accepted health service. Self-referral to physiotherapy has potential socioeconomic implications for the individual and the health system. The results show (p < 0.05) that attitudes do not differ concerning gender, level of education or the number of previously attended cycles of physiotherapy. Still, increasing age decreases a positive attitude towards the effectiveness of physiotherapy and the professional autonomy of physiotherapists. Conclusions. The attitudes of Croatian patients toward physiotherapists and the possibility of self-referral to physiotherapy are positive and negatively correlated only with the characteristic of the age.

“…2.1.5. Participative decision-making pertains to how individuals are involved in making decisions (Chiva et al, 2007;Visser, 2016;Salas-Vallina et al, 2017;Ristim€ aki et al, 2020). In addition to enhancing decision-making quality, participatory decision-making simplifies information availability (Scott-Ladd and Chan, 2004).…”

PurposeIn light of the current challenges in the business environment, firms, particularly those involved in supply chains, must foster innovation. In this context, the current study employs the theory of dynamic organizational capabilities (DOCs) to track supply chain learning capabilities (SCLCs) and independently uncover their relationship to innovation at both the product and process levels. Similarly, the study intends to investigate the influence of technological turbulence (TT) on these relationships as a moderating variable.Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered using in-person interviews with 189 CEOs with some supply chain management proficiency from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the industrial zones of eastern Egypt. The study used a survey approach to collect data, and the SEM-PLS technique was utilized to analyze the data.FindingsStudy findings revealed that SCLCs positively affect product and process innovation. In addition, TT positively moderates the relationship between SCLCs and product and process innovation, except for risk-taking capability. Further theoretical and practical implications are derived from the study findings.Originality/valueThis research adds to the knowledge of the dynamic capabilities theory (DCT), which affects how firms interact with their external environment. Studying learning capabilities are employed as essential competencies to counterbalance high levels of TT in the external environment in terms of innovative performance and vice versa if firms do not attempt to strengthen their dynamic learning capabilities in supply chains. In addition, this study contributes to the literature by studying learning capabilities from the external perspective, where SCLCs are being developed as a new variable to improve innovation.

“…On the other hand, occupational health physicians are meant to provide an objective medical viewpoint and are able to legitimize different stakeholders' perspectives (Seing et al, 2012). In fact, the occupational health physician, who often acts as the chair of the meeting, needs to construct the negotiation as a collaborative effort to indicate all participants being eligible in taking part in the discussions and decisions concerning the employee's return to work (Ristimäki et al, 2020). This is often achieved through nonverbal means, such as gestures and gazing each participant (Ristimäki et al, 2020).…”

IntroductionBalancing participation in multiparty negotiations in healthcare and vocational rehabilitation processes is an interactional challenge, especially when the participants interact online. Participants in multiparty video-mediated context have limited and asymmetric access to each other's activities. Also the different meeting tasks cause an imbalance in their opportunities to participate. At the same time, contemporary clinical practice rests on the ideal of reciprocal, balanced participation.MethodWe used conversation analysis to examine the participants' construction of the meeting memo as a joint document in video-mediated return-to-work (RTW) negotiations. We aim to observe how participants views are invited, receipted, and jointly formulated, both verbally and writing, when constructing the meeting memo. RTW negotiations are common collaboration arenas of vocational rehabilitation in Finland which aim to support the employee's return to work, for instance, after sickness absence. The meeting memo is a summary of the negotiation and its concrete decisions which may affect the employee's disability-based vocational rehabilitation services and benefits.ResultsThe way in which the meeting memo is produced in RTW negotiations plays a significant role in the participants' opportunities for participation. Sharing the screen view to the already written text, enable participants to comment on and correct the text, reinforcing its joint approval. Involvement of participants in co-producing memo texts allow the participants not only produce the content to the text but also to formulate the publicly available form of the text.DiscussionThese practices for constructing the memo in and through the unfolding of interaction may be considered as enhancing more balanced participation. However, they may also require extra interactional effort in multiparty video-mediated negotiations.
