ClinConnect Summary
This study is looking at how well physical therapists and physiotherapy students in Turkey follow recommended guidelines for helping patients recover after a stroke. These guidelines, created by experts, suggest the best ways to support stroke rehabilitation based on the latest research. The study wants to understand how closely these professionals stick to the guidelines, whether experienced therapists and students differ in their approach, and what challenges they face, such as not having enough time or resources.
If you are a licensed physical therapist with at least one year of experience, or a 4th-year physiotherapy student currently doing an internship in Turkey, you might be eligible to participate. Those who join will be asked to complete an online survey about the treatments they use, their thoughts about following evidence-based practices, and any difficulties they experience in applying the guidelines. The goal is to help improve stroke rehabilitation by identifying ways to better support therapists and students in using proven methods.
