Abstract [en]

Background: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a behavioral therapy which aims to,through strategies like mindfulness and acceptance, reach psychological flexibility. Psychological processes such as psychological flexibility, self-efficacy and emotion regulation plays a key role in whether an individual with a long-term condition considers their quality of life as good or bad. Physiotherapists plays a big part in caring for long-term patients, however there is a lack of research as to how a physiotherapist can use ACT.

Aim: This study aims to investigate physiotherapists experience of using ACT in their work with patients affected by long-term conditions and how physiotherapists experience their role within ACT.

Method: Through an appropriate convenience sampling 6 physiotherapists were recruited to participate in the study. Interviews were held using a semi-structured interview guide. The material was then analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. 

Results: The result was presented in 6 categories and 5 sub-categories. The physiotherapists described their experiences of applying ACT in their work with patients, what part they felt they played in physical therapy informed ACT and what opportunities as well asdifficulties they encountered with while doing so.

Conclusions: The physiotherapists described how they applied ACT regarding to the body, how they focused on function over reduction of symptoms and that they guided the patient through the rehabilitation. They also based the rehabilitation on the patients’ goals and values. 

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) är en beteendeterapi med syfte att genom strategier som mindfulness och acceptans uppnå psykologisk flexibilitet. Psykologiska processer så som psykologisk flexibilitet, self-efficacy och känsloreglering har visat sig spela en avgörande roll för huruvida individer med långvariga tillstånd skattar sin livskvalitet som god eller ej. Fysioterapeuter fyller en viktig funktion för vården av långvariga patienter det finns dock bristande forskning på vilken roll fysioterapeuter har i ACT-baserad rehabilitering. 

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka på vilket sätt fysioterapeuter upplever att de tillämpar ACT i sitt arbete med patienter med långvariga tillstånd samt att undersöka vilken roll fysioterapeuter upplever att de innehar vid tillämpning av ACT.

Metod: Genom ett ändamålsenligt bekvämlighetsurval rekryterades 6 fysioterapeuter som tillämpar ACT i sitt arbete med patienter med långvariga tillstånd. Därefter genomfördes intervjuer med en semistrukturerad intervjuguide. Materialet analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. 

Resultat: Resultatet presenterades i 6 huvudkategorier och 5 underkategorier. Fysioterapeuterna beskrev hur de upplevde att de tillämpade ACT, vilken roll de upplevde att de som fysioterapeuter fyllde i ACT-baserad rehabilitering samt vilka möjligheter och svårigheter de upplevde vid tillämpandet av ACT.

Slutsats: Fysioterapeuterna berättade att deras roll var att tillämpa ACT utifrån kroppen, att jobba funktionsbaserat samt att guida patienten genom rehabiliteringen. De beskrev även att arbetet var målinriktat med mål baserade på patientens värden
