Rasch Analysis of Self-Reported Adherence to Patient-Centered Physical Therapy Scale among Japanese Physical Therapists: Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: This study primarily aimed to develop a shorter version of the self-reported adherence to patient-centered physical therapy (s-SAPCPTS) by using Rasch analysis and secondarily aimed to preliminarily investigate the relationship between the s-SAPCPTS scores and demographics (i.e., age, sex, final academic degree (non-postgraduate degrees or postgraduate degrees), and practice environment). In an online anonymous survey, 110 Japanese physical therapists completed the self-reported adherence to patient-centered physical therapy and provided data on their demographics. Through the Rasch analysis, items were excluded in a stepwise manner, until certain pre-established criteria of the unidimensionality were satisfied. Subsequently, a conversion table for the Rasch score was developed. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis was conducted by using the independent variables age, sex, and final academic degree. Using the Kruskal-Wallis test, we compared the Rasch s-SAPCPTS scores among four practice environments. Consequently, the seven-item s-SAPCPTS was developed by excluding seven items through the Rasch analysis. Postgraduate degree was a statistically significant contributing factor for Rasch s-SAPCPTS scores (p = 0.038, β = 0.20). The Kruskal-Wallis test demonstrated statistically significant differences in the Rasch s-SAPCPTS scores among the four practice environments (p = 0.006). In conclusion, the seven-item s-SAPCPTS was developed with the preliminary evidence of construct validity. It was also found that the final academic degree and practice environment could be the contributing factors of s-SAPCPTS scores.

Project description:IntroductionThe dominance of the biomedical approach has previously caused a limited focus on occupation within hand therapy. This study aimed to investigate the rehabilitation offered to patients with a hand-related disorder (HRD) in Denmark including to determine the extent to which occupation-focused and/or occupation-based assessments and interventions are used and to identify barriers against their use.MethodsA cross-sectional survey with 45 questions was conducted among members of the Danish Association for Hand Therapy. Data were analysed with descriptive statistics. Categorical variables were reported with frequency and percentage, and continuous variables with average and standard deviation.ResultsOne hundred and six occupational therapists working as hand therapists (n = 106) completed the survey. They reported common use of assessments measuring range of motion, pain, edema, and occupational performance. Occupational performance was assessed by non-standardized occupation-focused assessments, such as informal conversations. Exercise, pain management, and occupation-focused informal conversations were reported as the most frequently used interventions. Out of 82 respondents, 74 (91.4%) reported that they used interventions focused on body function and structures to the extent they wanted. Only 41 (50.0%) used occupation-focused or occupation-based interventions to the extent they wanted.DiscussionAssessments and interventions reporting body function and structure were used most frequently whereas assessments and interventions reporting activity and participation were used to a lesser extent. Occupation-focused assessments and interventions were used more commonly than occupation-based. Hand therapists considered occupation-based assessments and interventions to be important in rehabilitation after HRD, despite using them with few patients. Several barriers were reported regarding the implementation of an occupation-centered approach: habit, workload, time constraints, and setting.
