Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the process experienced by physiotherapists while providing rehabilitation services during the epidemic and to investigate the procedures adopted by physiotherapists who are currently working. In addition, by analyzing the effects of both the pandemic and the clinical and educational organizations in the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinics where physiotherapists were working during the COVID-19 epidemic, the needs arising after the pandemic can be reported. Assessments will be carried out by researcher physiotherapists through a questionnaire based on research and examples in the literature, and scales measuring anxiety, depression and stress levels. The measurement tool will be the online survey application.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the process experienced by physiotherapists while providing rehabilitation services during the epidemic and to investigate the procedures adopted by physiotherapists who are currently working.

In addition, by analyzing the effects of both the pandemic and the clinical and educational organizations in the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinics where physiotherapists were working during the COVID-19 epidemic, the needs arising after the pandemic can be reported.

Assessments will be carried out by researcher physiotherapists through a questionnaire based on research and examples in the literature, and scales measuring anxiety, depression and stress levels. The measurement tool will be the online survey application.

Data collection is planned to take place in February-March 2021.

Surveys will be distributed via WhatsApp, e-mail, social media links. This questionnaire was sent to 3 physiotherapists and subjected to a pre-test. This questionnaire is about the following situations and contains 37 questions:

Information on employment status: In this section, physiotherapists' name-surname, gender, age, professional practice experience (years), generally applied physiotherapy subgroup (more than one can be selected), whether they are self-employed or employees, and the status of performing face-to-face clinical practices will be questioned. If so, it will be questioned which protection measures have been applied.

Information about tele-rehabilitation practices: In this section, it will be questioned whether physiotherapists start to follow their patients remotely, if they are, in what way they do it, whether the number of weekly sessions continues, and whether the amount collected is the same as the face-to-face amount.

General information about COVID 19 rehabilitation: In this section, did the departments where physiotherapists work returned to COVID 19 services, did they work in COVID 19 units, rehabilitation approaches in COVID 19 patients, protocol and / or guidelines on exercises for rehabilitation management and treatment of COVID 19 patients. material development / implementation status will be questioned.

The impact of the pandemic on the health and teaching activities of physiotherapists and the sustainability of clinical / thesis studies during this period will be questioned.

Finally, the CES Depression Scale (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, CES-D) will be used to determine depression level, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) Test will be used to evaluate generalized anxiety level, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) will be used to determine stress level.
