Promoting effective interprofessional collaborative practice in the primary care setting: recommendations from Queensland physiotherapy private practitioners.

Background: Physiotherapy private practitioners represent a growing proportion of Australia's primary care workforce; however, they face significant barriers in integrating seamlessly within interprofessional teams. Historically, the landscape of primary care in Australia has been one where many physiotherapists work in monoprofessional private practice facilities at dispersed locations, potentially limiting collaborative and coordinated care. The aim of this study was to investigate strategies recommended by physiotherapists to promote effective interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) within the Australian private practice setting.

Physiotherapy private practitioners' opinions regarding interprofessional collaborative practice: A qualitative study.

The aim of this study was to explore Australian physiotherapy private practitioners' opinions regarding IPCP. Twenty-eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with physiotherapists in 10 private practice sites in Queensland, Australia.

The characteristics of Queensland private physiotherapy practitioners' interprofessional interactions: a cross-sectional survey study.

Effective interprofessional collaboration (IPC) contributes to superior patient outcomes, facilitates cost-efficient health care, and increases patient and practitioner satisfaction. However, there is concern that IPC may be difficult to implement in clinical settings that do not conform to formal team-based processes, such as mono-professional physiotherapy private practice facilities. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of private physiotherapy practitioners' interprofessional interactions, including their experiences and perceptions regarding IPC.

Allied health professionals' perceptions of interprofessional collaboration in primary health care: an integrative review.

Australian critical care nursing professionals' attitudes towards the use of traditional "chest physiotherapy" techniques.

Background: Chest physiotherapy techniques, such as percussion, postural drainage, and expiratory vibrations, may be employed in a critical care setting. Physiotherapists are primarily responsible for their provision; however, nurses have also traditionally implemented these treatments. It is unclear whether nurses consider chest physiotherapy to be a part of their role, or how they perceive their knowledge and confidence pertaining to these techniques.
