Abstract

The goal of this three-step mixed method feasibility study was to create and pilot-test an online survey (ICSO-R-pedsPT) to describe paediatric physiotherapy services available around the world. The ICSO-R 2.0, a framework for classifying rehabilitation service organisations, was assessed to identify items relevant to paediatric physiotherapy that could be collected via an online survey. The poll was pilot-tested by fourteen physiotherapists, and three of them took part in online interviews. Based on interactions with 91 subjects from 30 countries, the revised survey was modified. The final edition of the ICSO-R-pedsPT has 42 questions arranged into three categories: participant characteristics, service delivery, and provider - work setting. The ICSO-R 2.0 framework can be used to create online surveys that define services across contexts and countries.

Introduction

Countries require high-quality rehabilitation systems that improve people's health and functioning while reducing the economic burden of impairments. To build and sustain these rehabilitation systems, as well as compare rehabilitation services across regions and countries, a full examination of the key components of a rehabilitation system must first be done. As a framework for identifying the major components of rehabilitation services, the International Classification of Service Organizations in Rehabilitation (ICSO-R) was proposed. In response to the WHO disability action plan, it was established by a working group of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine-World Health Organization (WHO) liaison committee [1]. Paediatric physiotherapists (PTs) have traditionally served children with orthopaedic disorders and neurodevelopmental disabilities in hospitals and rehabilitation centres. However, the present area of practise in paediatric physiotherapy is significantly broader and changing rapidly around the world. Paediatric PTs are progressively embracing health methods that involve health promotion and obesity prevention in addition to rehabilitation therapy [2].

Care coverage advancement

Evidence-based techniques to save women and children's lives encompass a wide range of interventions, which are typically delivered through integrated service delivery packages along the timeline of the continuum of care, most notably reproductive health services to provide contraceptive services, antenatal care for pregnant women skilled attendance and emergency obstetrical care during birth; and postnatal care services, including both preventive and curative interventions [3].

Identifying and addressing program gaps and delays

Delays in receiving adequate care can be critical for many conditions, but delays in resolving an obstetrical emergency around the time of birth or the beginning of sepsis in a neonate can be severe. The "traditional" three delays were first documented in connection to women experiencing obstetrical emergency [4]. The selection of partners, service delivery platforms, and advocacy, system strengthening, and communication methods for reaching mothers and decision makers was guided by impact, scale, and sustainability objectives. All initiatives focused on the vital first two years of life, adhered to worldwide World Health Organization and UNICEF IYCF requirements, and employed a similar philosophy of change. Formative research, stakeholder engagements, trials of improved methods, and media habits assessments were the most helpful in making programme decisions [5].

Conclusion

Opinion leader research, policy environment monitoring, and stakeholder analysis were critical components in the development of advocacy strategies. Setting quantifiable and unambiguous aims, strengthening mechanisms to provide support for mothers, multichannel communication, and advocacy for opinion leaders were all determined to be critical components in the design of all programmes.
