Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. What is the level of adherence to these evidence-based stroke rehabilitation guidelines?
2. How does guideline adherence differ between licensed physiotherapists and internship students?
3. What are the most significant barriers to using these guidelines (e.g., lack of time or resources)?
Researchers will compare responses from:
* Licensed physiotherapists\*\* (with ≥1 year of experience)
* 4th-year physiotherapy students\*\* (during internships) to understand differences in compliance.
Participants will:
* Complete an online survey about their:
* Use of guideline-recommended interventions (e.g., task-specific training, technology).
* Attitudes toward evidence-based practice.
* Perceived barriers to applying the guidelines.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Licensed Physiotherapists
This group includes licensed physiotherapists in Turkey with at least one year of clinical experience treating post-stroke patients. Participants will complete a survey assessing their adherence to clinical practice guidelines, attitudes toward evidence-based practice, and perceived barriers in stroke rehabilitation.
Stroke Rehabilitation Guideline Adherence Survey
This intervention consists of a structured online survey, the Stroke Rehabilitation Guideline Adherence Survey, designed to assess physiotherapists' and physiotherapy internship students' adherence to stroke rehabilitation clinical practice guidelines, their attitudes toward implementing evidence-based post-stroke care, and the perceived barriers-such as time constraints, limited resources, or insufficient training-that influence their compliance. No clinical treatments or procedures are administered; the sole "intervention" is the delivery of this comprehensive questionnaire.
Physiotherapy Internship Students
This group includes final-year physiotherapy students currently completing their clinical internships in Turkey. Participants will complete a survey evaluating their knowledge, attitudes, and challenges related to stroke rehabilitation and the use of evidence-based guidelines.
Stroke Rehabilitation Guideline Adherence Survey
This intervention consists of a structured online survey, the Stroke Rehabilitation Guideline Adherence Survey, designed to assess physiotherapists' and physiotherapy internship students' adherence to stroke rehabilitation clinical practice guidelines, their attitudes toward implementing evidence-based post-stroke care, and the perceived barriers-such as time constraints, limited resources, or insufficient training-that influence their compliance. No clinical treatments or procedures are administered; the sole "intervention" is the delivery of this comprehensive questionnaire.
