The struggle of dealing with uncertainty: a qualitative, phenomenological study about how Dutch novice physical therapists experience their transition from student to professional.

Objective: To explain how Dutch novice physical therapists experience their transition from student to physical therapist in private practice.

Methods: A qualitative, phenomenological study was performed in The Netherlands to collect personal experiences from novice physical therapists who graduated <1 year ago. Data were collected with semi-structured interviews and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis.

Determinants of physical activity maintenance and the acceptability of a remote coaching intervention following supervised exercise oncology rehabilitation: a qualitative study.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate perceived determinants of physical activity (PA) maintenance following supervised exercise oncology rehabilitation and the acceptability of a remote coaching intervention during this period.

Methods: A phenomenological qualitative study with semi-structured interviews was conducted. Nineteen participants (16 women, 3 men) were recruited from the intervention (n = 12) and control group (n = 7) of a randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of remote coaching following hospital-based, supervised exercise oncology rehabilitation.

Killing Bacteria by Faradaic Processes through Nano-Hydroxyapatite/MoO Platforms.

Following the secular idea of ″restitutio ad integrum″, regeneration is the pursued option to restore bones lost after a disease; accordingly, complementing antibiotic and regeneration capacity to bone grafts represents a great scientific success. This study is a framework proposal for understanding the antimicrobial effect of biocompatible nano-hydroxyapatite/MoO (nano-HA/MoO) platforms on the basis of their electroactive behavior. Through cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry measurements, the electron transference capacity of nano-HA and nano-HA/MoO electrodes was determined in the presence of pathogenic organisms: and .

Education of physiotherapists improves inter-rater reliability in lumbar spine motor control tests: A randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To determine the effect of 1-h education session, compared with no education, on physiotherapists' (PTs) inter-rater reliability in two lumbar spine motor control tests (MCTs): waiter's bow (WB) and sitting knee extension (SKE). To determine whether reliability at baseline and the effect of education are affected by PT's clinical experience, knowledge and experience of MCTs, and post-graduate education in manual therapy.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Barriers and enablers to physical activity behaviour in older adults during hospital stay: a qualitative study guided by the theoretical domains framework.

Background: Older adults admitted with an acute medical illness spent little time active during hospitalisation and this has been associated with negative health outcomes. Understanding which barriers and enablers influence the physical activity behaviour of hospitalised older adults is a first step towards identifying potentially modifiable factors and developing, evaluating and implementing targeted interventions aimed at increasing their physical activity behaviour. Using a theoretical framework has been found to be more successful in changing behaviour than using a non-theory driven approach.
