Abstract Physiotherapy, as a vital pillar of healthcare, has evolved significantly, necessitating a broader skill set for its practitioners. In the present-day healthcare, patient-centred care is paramount, elevating soft skills to an indispensable dexterity for physiotherapy professionals. This research paper presents an analysis of primary data, shedding light on the importance of soft skills in the context of physiotherapy practice and academics. It focuses on how soft skills enhance patient outcomes, facilitate effective communication, and nurture therapeutic relationships.
Soft skills encompass a spectrum of interpersonal and communication competencies, including empathy, active listening, and proficient communication, which are pivotal in establishing trust and rapport with patients. This paper explores how these skills contribute to heightened patient compliance, engagement and satisfaction.
Through an analysis of primary data, this paper assesses the status of soft skills integration in physiotherapy education and practice. It identifies existing gaps and needs in the cultivation and assessment of soft skills among physiotherapy students and practitioners. Additionally, the paper provides recommendations for curriculum refinement and professional development programs to bridge these gaps based on the insights gained from the primary data.
This research paper delves into the impact of soft skills on patient outcomes, drawing on empirical evidence from primary research. It explores the role of empathetic communication in pain mitigation, patient adherence to treatment regimens, and the overall quality of care delivered by physiotherapy practitioners. The primary data analysis reinforces the practical significance of integrating soft skills into clinical practice.
In conclusion, this research paper highlights the evolving role of physiotherapy practitioners as patient-centred caregivers and advocates for the integration of soft skills in physiotherapy education and practice. It emphasizes the value of cultivating a comprehensive skill set that combines clinical expertise with robust interpersonal abilities to optimize patient care and overall well-being. As healthcare dynamics evolve, primary data analysis reaffirms the necessity of nurturing soft skills among physiotherapy professionals to meet the evolving needs and expectations of patients in the 21st century.
