摘要

Purpose To examine strategies utilized by physical therapists that contributed to patient perceptions of basic psychological needs support articulated within Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with physical therapists (n = 9) and physical therapy patients (n = 9) undergoing rehabilitation for a variety of musculoskeletal injuries. Results Both patients and practitioners articulated the value of specific competence (e.g. matching rehabilitation challenges with patient abilities) and autonomy support strategies (e.g. active decision-making). Interestingly, both patients and therapists emphasized the salience of relatedness need support, a finding indicative of the potential importance of this need in a rehabilitation environment. The possibility that relatedness need support may be of equal - or potentially greater - importance than the other two needs in a rehabilitation setting, is however, antithetical to SDT contentions. Whether the primacy of relatedness need support is an artifact of the sample used in the current study or a reflection of a broader rehabilitation trend, is uncertain and remains a topic for further investigation. Conclusions Understanding the strategies physical therapists use to support patients' psychological needs may have substantial implications for patient motivation and rehabilitation adherence, such as, improved psychological well-being, enhanced function, and increased adherence to physical therapists' recommendations.
