SITUATION ANALYSIS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION PROJECT: KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, MANAGEMENT AND ATTITUDE LEVELS OF PHYSIOTHERAPISTS WORKING IN TURKEY ABOUT ELECTRICAL STIMULATION

Öz

Purpose: The study aims to determine the knowledge, skills, management and attitude levels of physiotherapists working in Turkey towards electrical stimulation (ES) within the scope of the project titled “Clinical Key for Electrical Stimulation in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (CK4Stim)” supported by Turkish National Agency and European Union within the scope of Erasmus+Vocational Education Cooperation Partnerships. Methods: A total of 95 physiotherapists working in Turkey participated in the cross-sectional and descriptive study. After the demographic characteristics of the participants were recorded, the participants were asked to fill out the 19-question survey prepared by the project partners via Google Forms. Physiotherapists working in Turkey were invited to participate in survey via e-mail, social media and Turkish Physiotherapists Association. Results: While it varied for each question, 38.90-50.50% of participants stated that they had moderate knowledge about ES, rate of those who stated that they had very good knowledge varied between 3.20-6.30%. When transformation of knowledge into skill was questioned, the participants reported that they had moderate and above skill levels at rates varying between 44.20-72.60% for each question. The rate of those who stated that their management level was moderate and above did not even reach 50% (44.20-49.40). The determined knowledge, skill and management levels were far below the stated levels. The types of current preferred by participants in treatment of different disorders varied in a very wide range. Conclusion: It was noted that physiotherapists working in Türkiye have a medium level of knowledge and skills on ES, a low level of awareness, and do not have sufficient knowledge and skills as they stated. It was concluded that awareness of effective and safe ES approaches should be increased their implementation should be encouraged, and management and attitudes in the field of ES should be improved among physiotherapists, based on knowledge and clinical experiences.
