2016, Journal of PhysiotherapyWhat are the perceived needs of Pakistani women in the North west of England in relation to physiotherapy, and to what extent do they feel their needs are being met?
2010, PhysiotherapyCitation Excerpt :Jaggi and Bithell [24], who surveyed physiotherapists’ knowledge and attitudes in relation to Bangladeshi patients in two UK health authorities, also found that communication was the greatest issue amongst therapists, with many feeling that they could not communicate effectively with their Bangladeshi patients. However, their findings did reveal an improving picture in comparison with earlier research [24]. Whilst this may be the case, the findings from this research suggest that, from the patient's perspective, there is still some way to go before this need is met.
Cultural competency in physiotherapy: a model for training
2007, PhysiotherapyCitation Excerpt :Cultural competence is acknowledged as being central to overall professional competence and capability, and a holistic therapeutic framework is encouraged [21–25]. However, physiotherapists feel inadequate managing patients from diverse backgrounds [26–29]. While cultural competence has been debated in other health professions, discussion has only recently commenced in physiotherapy and within undergraduate programmes [15,27,30,31].
