Abstract

Background and Purpose:Physiology is an experimental science and take part in basic education of medicine and health sciences.Study was aimed to investigate the importance of physiology education in physiotherapy and rehabilitation (PT). Methods:A total of 249 participants (131 physiotherapists (PTs) &118 PT students) opinions on physiology education were obtained by an online questionnaire.The questionnaire was included 30 items (First-part items were about physiology education, second about the effects of physiology education on professional life and different PT lessons, third and four were about opinions on supplementary materials (laboratory brochures and books), PT curriculum (lessons, and lesson hours of physiology). Results:Theoretical physiology education was mostly with PowerPoint/projection (66.4% in PTs&55.1% in students), while practical education was with by Computer/Atlas in PTs (40.5%) and laboratory in students (35.6%).Nearly half of participants (47.8%) declared the quality of physiology education was moderate.41.2% of PTs and 44.9% of students neither agreed nor disagreed with receiving problem-focused physiology training.Participants declared that the most critical physiology course was exercise physiology and physiology education was essential in clinical practice and helpful in understanding other curriculum lessons. Conclusion:Physiology education had essential importance in clinical lessons, professional life and moderate quality in PT.Increasing and updating problem-based physiology education was recommended.
