| description | Aim: To investigate the potential for using video as a method of documentation in physiotherapy for children and adolescents, and potential facilitators and barriers for use and implementation.
Design: The study followed physiotherapists from six collaborating locations in private, municipal, and specialist healthcare services, from project start and early testing and over a period of three years, to gather the physiotherapists' experiences with the use of video over time.
Material & Methods: The material includes semi-structured interviews, a survey, workshops, observations, minutes from meetings and follow-up conversations with physiotherapists and a supplier of software for video editing and storage. Data was analysed using thematic analysis.
Findings: The physiotherapists found video to be a useful tool that supports their current practices by providing better documentation and an "extra set of eyes". Video allows for new practices, including opportunities for sharing videos with other health care professionals, parents and institutions. Several facilitators and barriers for use and implementation were identified, including challenges related to time consumption, privacy concerns, the need for training and technical support and accessible and relevant technology.
Conclusion: There is great potential for the use of video in physiotherapy. Using video is in line with the need for better tools for documentation that physiotherapists experience. Yet, further adaptation is needed before implementation into clinical practice. Moreover, unclear data protection regulations create insecurity. As a result, using video becomes cumbersome and non-attractive, despite its potential. Key-words: physiotherapy, clinical documentation e-health, video, communication. |
