The purpose of current research study is to assess physiotherapists's knowledge, beliefs and attitudes about empathy, motivational interviewing and shared decision making in chronic musculoskeletal patients. An e-survey study will be conducted based on Checklist for Reporting Results of 52 Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES)
The main questions it aims to answer are:
What physiotherapists know about the use of empathy, motivational interviewing and shared decision making? What beliefs do physiotherapists have about the appropriate use of communication skills? Whether and how much they use empathy, motivational interview, shared decision-making in clinical practice? What are the main barriers of using communication skills (empathy, motivational interview, joint decision-making) in clinical practice?
