Therapeutic Education and Educational Skills in Physical Therapy: Survey Results

The results highlight that training in therapeutic education is not offered as part of initial training. To acquire knowledge on this topic, physical therapists must demonstrate interest and motivation to deepen their knowledge of therapeutic education through continuing education. It appears that in initial training, therapeutic education is too burdensome to teach and poses challenges in terms of its approach and implementation. ETP is not necessary for patient care. To master ETP, professionals must first and foremost possess educational skills and not merely know and master treatment techniques. The results of the data collected via questionnaires show that no one is trained in ETP and that only 9.75% possess knowledge in the field of humanities and social sciences. The responses from the population surveyed for this study are largely compliant (71%). 62.5% of the responses to the ETP knowledge tests (legislation, implementation) are compliant, and 72.8% of the responses to the scenario-based exercises are consistent with theories and models in the field of education.
