dc.description.abstract | The primary focus of this research was to explore motivational strategies in
physiotherapy to improve adherence and elicit health behaviour change. Research has
indicated poor adherence to physiotherapy prescriptions and physical activity
guidelines. Incontestable epidemiological evidence highlights the fact that healthcare in
the 21th Century will be dominated by an escalation in chronic lifestyle-related
conditions and healthcare is evolving to reflect this. Healthcare in Ireland, and
elsewhere, is changing from a system focused on the treatment of illnesses to one
focused on illness prevention and wellbeing. Physiotherapists are well placed to
influence health behaviours and can play a leading role in this evolution of healthcare.
Research is however required to explore the current situation among members of the
physiotherapy profession with regards to improving adherence and eliciting health
behaviour change. | |
