Abstract(s)
O posicionamento 24h é a utilização de qualquer técnica para minimizar os efeitos de deformidades corporais. Estas são provocadas por posicionamentos assimétricos por longos períodos, podendo levar a alterações sistémicas e diminuição da qualidade de vida do indivíduo. O presente estudo tem por objetivo averiguar qual é a utilização prática, pelos fisioterapeutas portugueses, do posicionamento 24h. Foram analisados 20 questionários com 12 questões respondidos por fisioterapeutas a nível nacional através da plataforma Survio. Estes foram distribuídos pelas instituições que deram parecer positivo à colaboração no estudo e partilhado na rede social Facebook. A análise dos dados recolhidos e a sua relação foi realizada com recurso ao programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Analisados os dados, concluiu-se que os fisioterapeutas que trabalham em território nacional avaliam e/ou prescrevem equipamentos de apoio e detêm, na sua maioria, conhecimento das técnicas de posicionamento. No entanto, foram encontradas algumas lacunas no seu conhecimento e na sua prática, sendo as mais evidentes que nem todos se revelam detentores de conhecimentos técnicos na área, não existe uma uniformização de métodos de avaliação sendo estes muito abrangentes, subjetivos e pouco concretos, a prescrição de materiais de apoio no leito é muito inferior à prescrição de cadeira-de-rodas mesmo quando há consciência que os utentes passam muito tempo nesta posição e que, independentemente da experiência ou formação académica qualquer fisioterapeuta prescreve este tipo de equipamentos.
ABSTRACT - 24h postural care is the use of any technique to reduce deformities. Body deformities are caused by asymmetrical positions for long periods of time, and they can lead to systemic changes and decrease life quality. The goal of the study is to make a quiz and apply it to physical therapists that work in Portugal, investigating what is their knowledge and practice about 24h postural care. 20 online surveys were analyzed with 12 questions applied to physical therapists applied through the online platform Survio. They were distributed to the institutions and to the physical therapists (through Facebook) that agreed to collaborate with the study. Data analysis and its relation were made with the program Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. After analyzing the data, it was concluded that physiotherapists who work in national territory assess and/or prescribe support equipment and, for the most part, have knowledge of positioning techniques. However, some gaps were found in their knowledge and practice, the most evident being that not all of them have technical knowledge in the area, there is no standardization of assessment methods, which are subjective and little concrete, the prescription of bed support materials is much lower than prescription of a wheelchair, even when there is an awareness that users spend a lot of time in this position and that, regardless of experience or academic training, any physiotherapist prescribes this equipment.
