Objective: The purpose of this narrative review is to assess current physical therapy ethics knowledge by synthesizing literature published since 2000. Method: This review builds on an earlier analysis.6 A rigorous search of major databases (including Medline, CINAHL, and PubMed) was conducted using specific keywords and explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria. The final review included 27 peer-reviewed articles and three editorials/lectures. Results: Four themes of papers were identified that focused on (1) development of physical therapy ethics knowledge, (2) ethical issues related to conducting research, (3) how ethical issues are identified and managed and how ethical practice is taught, and (4) development of theoretical ethical decision-making models. Discussion: The literature reflects a steady growth in interest in physical therapy ethics. Some 'gaps' in knowledge have been addressed but others have not, such as the impact of the institutional environment and cultural dimensions of practice on ethical reasoning. Research studies, using mostly qualitative approaches, identify similar issues but a synthesis of the findings is made difficult by lack of consistency in purpose and study design. While inclusion of ethics content in physical therapy curricula is recommended, little is known about how this is currently being achieved. Ethical theories are poorly integrated into the discussion of ethics in practice. Conclusion: This review reveals the continuing need to ensure the development of physical therapy ethical knowledge by consistently incorporating both ethical theories and practice knowledge in education curricula and establishing a rigorous research agenda that accurately reflects the unique and multidimensional nature of clinical practice.

Ethical problems and moral sensitivity in physiotherapy

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study identified and described ethical problems encountered by physiotherapists in their practice and physiotherapists' moral sensitivity in ethical situations. A questionnaire-based survey was constructed to identify ethical problems, and the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire Revised version was used to measure moral sensitivity. Physiotherapists (n = 116) working in public health services responded to the questionnaire. Based on the results, most of the physiotherapists encounter ethical problems weekly. They concern mainly financial considerations, equality and justice, professionalism, unethical conduct of physiotherapists or other professions and patients' self-determination. The dimension of moral strength was emphasised in physiotherapists' self-evaluations of their moral sensitivity. As a conclusion, ethical problems do occur not only at individual level but also at organisational and society level. Physiotherapists seem to have moral strength for speaking on behalf of the patient. Scarce resources make them feel insufficient but much could still be done to provide quality care in co-operation with other health-care professionals.

“…Given that choosing a carrier within private practice has become more and more desirable amount Danish physiotherapists [9] and few researchers have focused their work on ethical issues in the context of physiotherapy private practice [10][11][12][13][14][15], why we decided on this context to frame the study.…”

Maintaining and enhancing professional autonomy requires continuous development of one's professional and ethical competences in order to meet society's mutable expectations to physiotherapy practice. As physiotherapy is a relational practice based on professional bodily analysis and touch it seems relevant to explore whether and how ethical issues arise during the first physiotherapy session. It is increasingly popular to choose a carrier in private practice, why understandings from physiotherapists within this context frame the study. Through a qualitative approach it is shown that ethical issues do occur within the first session and that the first session and the clinical context in private practice are essential from an ethical perspective. The consciousness about ethical issues differs in Danish physiotherapy private practice, and reflections and acts are vaguely based on ethical theories, principles and ethical guidelines. Beneficence towards the patient is seen as a fundamental aspect of the physiotherapists' understanding of the first session. However, if the physiotherapist lacks a deeper ethical awareness, the physiotherapist may reason and/or act ethically to a varying extent: only an ethically conscious physiotherapist will know when he or she reflects and acts ethically. Further exploration of ethical issues in private practice is recommendable, and as management policy is deeply embedded within the Danish public sector there are reasons to explore public contexts of physiotherapy as well.
