Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objective. To identify the strengths and barriers of Physiotherapy in an Intensive Care Unit, according to the vision of different Health Science professionals.
Method. Qualitative observational study using individual interviews and focus groups. 18 people (6 doctors, 6 nurses and 6 physiotherapists) will be included in the study. The 18 health professionals will participate in personal interviews and focus groups (3 focus groups with 6 participants each). Participants will be recruited from the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias. Data will be analysed using the thematic analysis approach according to Braun and Clarke's method. We will use face-to-face interviews and focus groups to collect data and analyse them through thematic analysis. Purposive sampling will be used to recruit our participants. We will continue to recruit participants, if necessary, until saturation of data from the thematic analysis is reached.
Expected outcomes. To assess the knowledge, perceptions and expectations of the healthcare staff in the Intensive Care Unit regarding Physiotherapy in the management of patients admitted to this Unit. To identify the strengths of Physiotherapy in the management of these patients.
