OBJECTIVES: The National Health Service is developing an ethos of self-care. Patients are being encouraged to become proficient in helping themselves. This has long been a philosophy of the physiotherapy profession, where self-care between consultations has been an integral part of the treatment process through encouraging the uptake of self-care skills training. This study explored how patients with shoulder and back pain perceived videotaped exercises and instructions to support their routine physiotherapy, and how the videotape was used. DESIGN: A videotape, developed by physiotherapists for patients with musculoskeletal problems, of exercises to view at home was given to patients by their physiotherapists to support their routine physiotherapy consultations. A qualitative methodology was used to examine how patients responded to being given a videotape of exercises and instructions between consultations. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. SETTING: The study was based in 26 general practices that had access to practice-based physiotherapists in two primary care trusts in the north-west of England. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-three patients with shoulder and back pain who received a videotape of exercises and advice were interviewed. RESULTS: Three themes emerged from the data: finding space for exercise; remembering and doing exercises; and supporting the physiotherapy-patient relationship. Patients discussed aspects of motivation, and described how a videotape of exercises might support or inhibit the performance of exercises prescribed by physiotherapists. Patients identified a range of different ways in which they derived support from the videotape. CONCLUSIONS: The videotape supported patients with a variety of different needs as it enhanced their ability to complete exercises correctly. Videotapes (or DVDs) are useful for patients and could be adopted as a tool to support treatment. |
