“…Specific training needs were identified by participants particularly in the area of motivational interviewing and population approaches to screening. This supports recent findings which have highlighted deficits in physiotherapists' knowledge of PA, particularly around public health guidelines, patient education strategies and skills in behaviour change such as motivational interviewing [5,25,26]. Practitioners in England receive a two day training course in motivational interviewing to support delivery of the pathway and in Scotland the pathway is supported by an e-learning module and a 3.5 hour training session [6,14].…”

“…Su principal desventaja es que no describe la importancia de cada factor dándole mayor énfasis al ámbito biológico e individual que a lo social. Este es el modelo que predomina encontrado en 17 investigaciones [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

Castro LE, Rodríguez YL. Tendencias epistemológicas de las acciones de la salud pública. Una revisión desde la fisioterapia. Rev. Fac. Nac. Salud Pública. 2015; 33(2): 239-251. DOI: 10.17533/udea.rfnsp.v33n2a11 Resumen Objetivo: analizar las tendencias epistemológicas de la salud pública frente a las acciones de la fisioterapia. Metodología: la identificación de la literatura se efectuó con los parámetros de revisión sistemática exploratoria propuestos por Manchado, en tres bases de datos. Los artículos fueron sometidos a evaluación de la calidad bajo las escalas Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network y jadad. Las categorías centrales de análisis fueron los modelos del proceso saludenfermedad. Se vincularon 39 artículos de los 118 que arrojó la búsqueda inicial. Resultados y discusión: se encontró que la salud pública ha tenido diferentes tendencias epistemológicas que se explican por cambios socio-políticos y normativos de los países y de las profesiones. Se observa una evolución conceptual que trasciende de lo biológico hacia enfoques sociales, interdisciplinarios y complejos; sin embargo, en las intervenciones aún se evidencia predominio del modelo epidemiológico. Lo anterior, puede asociarse con que profesiones jóvenes como la fisioterapia que aunque surgió con un enfoque netamente rehabilitador se ha preocupado por ampliar sus campos de ejercicio profesional logrando participar en acciones de salud pública, pero esta participación aún es incipiente, por cuanto no logra reflejarse en la práctica de una manera contundente; por consiguiente, se requiere desarrollar estrategias que permitan llevar el conocimiento a la práctica y de esta manera poder aportar desde su objeto de estudio en el abordaje integral de la salud de las poblaciones, con el ánimo de lograr que estas se apropien de sus condiciones de salud en pro de su bienestar y calidad de vida. ----------Palabras clave: epistemología, fisioterapia, proceso salud-enfermedad, salud pública AbstractObjective: to analyze the epistemological trends in public health in comparison with the possibilities of physiotherapy actions. Methodology: the literature was identified through the exploratory systematic review proposed by Manchado. Three databases were used to this end. Likewise, the quality of the papers was assessed using two scales: Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network and jadad. The central analysis categories were the models of the health-disease process. The initial search yielded 118 papers, of which 39 were taken into account for the study. Results and discussion: it was found that public health has had different epistemological trends that are explained by socio-political and legal changes

“…Previous studies have explored the attitudes and practices of physiotherapists regarding numerous health issues, including obesity, 18 dietary supplements, 19 role modelling, 20 smoking cessation, 21 and promotion of physical activity, 22 but no literature exists on the knowledge, attitudes, and current practices of physiotherapists with regard to how to prevent and manage diabetes and diabetes-related conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and current practices of Canadian physiotherapists in preventing and managing diabetes (both type 1 and type 2).…”

Purpose: To describe the knowledge, attitudes, and current practices of Canadian physiotherapists in preventing and managing diabetes. Methods: Members of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association were recruited by email to participate in a Web-based survey. The survey contained 40 items in four domains: demographics and education, attitudes and beliefs, current practices, and knowledge of diabetes. A descriptive analysis was completed for all the response variables from the survey. Results: A total of 401 physiotherapists from 10 provinces and 2 territories participated. Respondents were most confident in providing education about exercise and had decreasing confidence in providing education about managing secondary complications, weight management, blood sugar control, and nutrition, respectively. Only 32.4% of participants offered diabetes management counselling, citing lack of training. Knowledge was generally good, except for activity guidelines. Conclusions: A significant proportion of physiotherapists lack confidence in providing key aspects of care to patients with diabetes. Gaps in clinical practice and knowledge of activity guidelines were also observed. This study highlights the need to review entry-level physiotherapy training and to develop continuing educational opportunities in this area.
