Keywords: Child, Physiotherapy, Pediatrics, Disabled people, CIF

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge of physiotherapists who work in public and private pediatric rehabilitation services about knowledge of F-Words, as well as to identify the main barriers to applying these tools in care. This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in accordance with the STROBE recommendations. The sample had a mean age of 28.1 ± 5.8 years, consisting of 54 physiotherapists who work in public and private pediatric rehabilitation services. It was observed that 55.6% of the sample had already heard about F-Words; 44.4% did not know about the importance; 94.4% establish therapeutic goals in partnership with the family; 57.4% had never heard of F-Words Tools; 77.8% never applied these tools in care. It is concluded that the F-Words are important, but are little used in assistance due to the lack of knowledge of physiotherapists in relation to the tool and instruments.
