“…However, those with high anxiety levels were less satisfied with the physiotherapist. This result was similar to the current literature ( 37 ). Because physiotherapy sessions were longer than the other health professionals applications at once.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of biopsychosocial parameters in the early postoperative period on the satisfaction of patients. Seventy-seven patients (female/male: 61/16, age: 40.28 ± 17.67 years) who underwent arthroscopic meniscectomy (n = 43), anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (n = 25) and total knee arthroplasty (n = 9) were included in this study. The satisfaction levelwas evaluated using the Orthopedics Service Inpatient Satisfaction Survey (OTISS). In addition, the pain intensity, anxiety, depression, and independence level in daily living activities of the patients were evaluated. There was a very weak negative correlation between the anxiety and the satisfaction level with the physiotherapist and secretary ( r: −0.274, p: 0.016; r:−0.265, p: 0.020). A very weak negative correlation was found between the pain intensity at activity and satisfaction with the nurse ( r: −0.227, p: 0.048). There were very weak correlations between feeding and satisfaction with the physiotherapist ( r: 0.292, p: 0.010), secretary ( r: 0.285, p: 0.012), doctor ( r: −0.269, p: 0.018), nurse ( r: 0.300, p: 0.008) general satisfaction ( r: 0.251, p: 0.028) and OTISS total score ( r: −0.305, p: 0.007). In conclusion, the pain intensity, anxiety, and independence level in the early postoperative period were related to the satisfaction levels of patients who have undergone orthopedic knee surgery.

“…► Patient satisfaction with physiotherapy care will be measured using a modified version of a previously established questionnaire for hospital inpatients receiving inpatient orthopaedic physiotherapy care. 33 The original questionnaire consists of 17 items/statements on physiotherapy care. The patient rates their agreement with each statement on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree).…”

Feasibility of allied health assistant management of people with acute hip fracture: protocol for a feasibility randomised controlled trial

et al. 2021

IntroductionGuidelines for hip fracture care state that patients with hip fracture should be mobilised on the day after surgery and at least once a day thereafter. However, compliance with these guidelines is poor. One approach that would assist physiotherapists to meet mobility guidelines after hip fracture is to delegate the provision of daily mobilisation to allied health assistants under their supervision. Therefore, we plan to conduct a randomised controlled trial to determine the feasibility of an allied health assistant providing daily inpatient rehabilitation to patients with hip fracture.Methods and analysisUsing a parallel group randomised controlled design with one-to-one allocation, participants will be randomly allocated to an experimental group (allied health assistant management) or a comparison group (physiotherapist management). Inclusion criteria are: adult with diagnosis of hip fracture; inpatient in acute hospital; walked independently pre-hip fracture and able to communicate in conversational English. The experimental group will receive routine physiotherapy rehabilitation, including daily mobilisation, from an allied health assistant following initial physiotherapist assessment. The comparison group will receive routine rehabilitation from a physiotherapist. The primary outcome will be the feasibility of allied health assistant management of patients with hip fracture. Feasibility will be determined using the following areas of focus in Bowen’s feasibility framework: acceptability (patient satisfaction), demand (proportion of patients who participate), implementation (time allied health assistant/physiotherapist spends with participant, occasions of service) and practicality (cost, adverse events). Staff involved in the implementation of allied health assistant care will be interviewed to explore their perspectives on feasibility. Secondary outcomes include compliance with daily mobilisation guidelines, discharge destination, hospital readmission, falls, functional activity and length of stay. We aim to recruit 50 participants. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe feasibility and mobilisation rates will be calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression to compare compliance with mobilisation guidelines.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval was obtained from the Peninsula Health human research ethics committee (HREC/63 005/PH-2020). The findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations.Trail registration numberAustralian and New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry; ACTRN12620000877987; Pre-results.

“…Other determinants of patient satisfaction include convenience and access to physiotherapy facilities, such as location, parking, wait times, and administrative procedures (11)(12)(13). Furthermore, patient satisfaction may be mediated by sociodemographic variables such as gender, age, education, and psychosocial factors (14,15).…”

Patient satisfaction (PS) is an essential indicator of the quality of physiotherapy services. However, regarding Libya, there has been a dearth of research on PS. This cross-sectional study aimed to measure PS with outpatient physiotherapy services and to examine the sociodemographic factors that influence the levels of satisfaction in Libya. Patient satisfaction with physiotherapy services was assessed using a reliable, valid, and structured questionnaire. Data were collected from 501 patients, and the participants’ ages ranged from 18 to 79 (mean ± standard deviation = 47.19 ± 12.8), with more females (n = 312) than males (n = 189). Participants were satisfied or very satisfied with the physiotherapy they received in the domains that measure PS. The highest percentage of satisfaction was in the physiotherapists’ attributes and ability to provide detailed explanations to their patients. Patient satisfaction was also associated with gender and occupation, with females and unemployed patients reporting higher satisfaction rates. This highlights the value of surveys administered to patients during treatments, as well as the value of strategies to address the influential factors for the improvement of PS in public physiotherapy clinics in Libya.
