Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to provide basic data for the association’s policy management and to improve the activity areas by investigating Gyeonggi-do physical therapists’ recognition of the national responsibility for dementia.
Methods: A total of 1,839 physical therapists participated in this survey, and the data from a total of 29 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 Windows.
Results: Among the physical therapists in Gyeonggi-do, 61.1% had low awareness of the national responsibility for dementia, and the recognition of the Center for Dementia was also low. On the other hand, there was a remarkably high opinion that the physical therapist was a necessary workforce, and positive responses to dementia-related work and education participation were also high, 51.9% and 68.5%, respectively. Those with a high educational background, annual salary, clinical experience, or dementia-related institutions, such as nursing homes and physical therapy, had a high awareness of “Dementia National Responsibility”, Awareness of “Center for Dementia” and “Participation in Dementia-related Work and Education”. On the other hand, “work participation” and “education participation” were found to be inversely related to age and clinical experience.
Conclusion: Physical therapists based in Gyeonggi-do showed an awareness of dementia policy. This result will help the
association’s policy management and protect the physical therapist’s rights and interests.
