This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little research documents the impact of communication on the relationship between the physical therapist and the older patient. As key health professionals, physical therapists need to know the degree to which a therapeutic relationship is occurring with the older adults they treat, and what aspects of the communication process can be improved to effectively meet the needs of this unique patient population. This exploratory study examines the relationships between older adults' perceptions of physical therapists' patient-centered communication (PCC), and their satisfaction with communication and physical therapy treatment (SPT). The sample consisted of 40 participants from 4 different physical therapy sites, including a hospital-based outpatient department, an outpatient aquatics practice, a sports-based outpatient clinic, and a home health company. The findings indicate that physical therapists' use of PCC behaviors, especially clarity, empathy, listening, humor, and immediacy was positively associated with older adults' satisfaction with communication and with physical therapy care.

Download or read book Determinants of Patient Satisfaction with Outpatient Physical Therapy Services in the Southern United States as Measured by the Physical Therapy Outpatient Satisfaction Survey written by Cynthia Kunkel Scott and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measurement of patient satisfaction is a time-honored field of inquiry in health care. Physical therapists are only beginning to study patient satisfaction concepts. It is incumbent on physical therapists to seek accurate input from patients to maintain and gain credibility in a competitive market. Development and refinement of theory and measurement methodology is needed. This study furthers the research of Roush and Sonstroem in patient satisfaction. In the original study, the researchers developed questionnaire items to measure four dimensions of care. These items were tested over three phases for internal reliability and concurrent and construct validity, with good results. Although the Roush and Sonstroem (1999) study was methodologically sound, providing rigorous treatment of measurement issues, it presented some limitations. The study was done in southern New England with a convenience sample of clients actively participating in treatment. Generalization to a different geographic area is limited. In addition, non-participants who might be dissatisfied with services were not included. This project endeavors to re-test the Physical Therapy Outpatient Satisfaction Survey (Roush and Sonstroem, 1999) with physical therapy clinics in the Gulf South United States of America. Internal reliability, construct and predictive validity are investigated. Sociodemographic and treatment factors are examined to develop a model of patient satisfaction in physical therapy. Using cluster sampling, twenty outpatient clinics were recruited from a weighted, randomized list of clinics participating in internship programs at University of Mississippi Medical Center physical therapist educational program. Up to 125 randomly selected patients from each clinic who were 21 years of age or older who had been discharged or become inactive within the past ninety days were mailed the Physical Therapy Outpatient Satisfaction Survey. Principal components analysis was used to explore the dimensions of satisfaction. The dimensions remained remarkably consistent with this sample and methodology. Cronbach alpha scores indicated a high level of internal consistency. Finally, the factors from the survey items, together with demographic and clinical variables were incorporated into a regression analysis, which supported the four factor scores, and the patient's rating of improvement predictive of satisfaction.
