Abstract

Background: - Standardized outcome measures measuring several aspects of well-being status have been encouraged for use by physiotherapists for many years, and much has been written about the likely benefits of, and barriers to, the use of such measures in practice. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is part of the physiotherapy curriculum of BPT 3rd and 4th years, focusing on using various functional outcome measurements to assess disease severity, impairment, functioning and quality of life. Despite the research, administrative, and policy attention to outcome measurement in health services, the actual clinical utility of outcome measurement remains largely unexamined.

 Objective: -

  1. i) To evaluate the use of various outcome measures in their clinical practice.
  2. ii) To find out the beliefs and attitudes of Physiotherapists relative to their use of outcome measures

iii) To discover barriers to using various outcome measures in their clinical practice.

Methods: The study used an observational survey design. A questionnaire comprising components concerning the practice and apparent benefits and obstacles of standardised measures was sent to 150 Physiotherapists. Results: Standardised outcome measures are used less in clinical settings than in educational institutions and hospitals. The most reported explanations for the non-use of measures included not being relevant for their practice, no guidelines, the period for affected personnel to complete them, the extent of period for physiotherapists to analyse the information, and difficulty for affected subjects to finish them autonomously. Conclusions: - Most participants in our study did not use standardised outcome measures.
