Clinical Trial Summary
According to the definition of the World Confederation of Physical Therapy (WCPT),
physiotherapists serve to restore, maintain and improve the movement and functional skills of
individuals. Physiotherapists; They take a role when the movement and functions of people are
endangered due to aging, injury, disease, disorder or environmental factors. As in the world,
the physiotherapist profession is gradually developing and spreading in Turkey. In this
sense, the number of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation faculties, departments and colleges is
increasing every year. With the increasing prevalence of the profession, it has brought up
the revision of training programs and questioning their success. In the literature, there are
accreditation reports and guides in Australia, America and Canada regarding the education of
the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation science field. When we look at the literature in our
country, there is no study that covers a common curriculum or training program developed for
Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Turkey.Therefore, it is thought that the diversity in
education programs may affect the way physiotherapists, most of whom work in special
education, work after graduation.
Description:
In a study evaluating how the employment period and employment status of physiotherapists who
graduated in the 2012-2016 period are affected; it was determined that pediatric
rehabilitation is the area where physiotherapists work the most with a rate of 44.6%. In
another study, it was stated that according to the managers of special education and
rehabilitation centers, different branches working in these institutions should reflect their
knowledge of special education. However, it has been stated that the personnel employed in
the special education and rehabilitation centers opened to serve children with disabilities
generally do not have sufficient knowledge and formation about the education and
rehabilitation of individuals who need special education.
In the process of increasing awareness, which forms the basis of development, which is a
cognitive and sensory activity, the individual perceives the life in which he lives in
relation to his feelings, wishes, dreams and behaviors. Increasing the level of awareness
enables the individual to enrich his/her way of reacting to the situations he/she experiences
and to discover different methods in his/her relationships and life, thanks to some new
cognitive schemas formed in the mind. Professional awareness provides preliminary information
on concepts such as the competencies of that profession, the groups they are in contact with,
the laws and regulations related to the profession, duties and responsibilities, the
individual's psychological and physical suitability for the profession, and professional
sensitivity. Formation of professional awareness in physiotherapists; In case of all kinds of
injuries, illnesses and disabilities that cause movement disorders, reintegration of
individuals with physical disabilities in workplace health and industry, development of the
concept of rehabilitation, which has an important role in preventive health services for
healthy individuals and in increasing the quality of life, increasing the quality of health
services, illness It is very important in terms of achieving professional goals that will
affect the whole society, such as minimizing disability and disability. When the studies on
this subject in Turkey in the organization named "European Network of Physiotherapy in Higher
Education" are examined, it is seen that awareness trainings are not included in the
physiotherapy profession.The aim of this study, which is planned with these predictions; To
determine the professional awareness levels of physiotherapists working in the areo of
pediatric rehabilitation. It is thought that this study can be a guide in terms of
determining the aims and qualifications of physiotherapists, revealing professional
requirements, developing new curriculum and awareness training programs, determining the
subjects on which training programs should be conducted, and thus raising more beneficial
professionals to the society.
