Relevance: The global advocacy for direct access and patients’ self-referral to PT is a significant component of professional autonomy and recognition. However, the attainment of this clarion call in sub-Sahara Africa may be hamstrung by challenges similar or different from those observed in the developed nations. Participants: One hundred physical therapists recruited from ten purposively selected public funded out-patient facilities from South-West, Nigeria volunteered for this study, yielding a response rate of 66.7%. Methods: This cross-sectional survey employed the use of a previously validated questionnaire for WCPT on global view of direct access and patient self-referral. Analysis: Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentages and graphs. Results: Out-of-pocket reimbursement was the most common method of pa...

It was hypothesized in this study that the attainment of this clarion call in Nigeria may be hamstrung by challenges similar or different from those reported in other climes. Objective: This study assessed the perception of DA and PSR among Physiotherapists (PTs) in South-West, Nigeria. Methods: One hundred PTs from ten purposely selected public-funded out-patient facilities from South-West, Nigeria responded in this cross-sectional study, yielding a response rate of 75% (100/150). A previously validated questionnaire for World Confederation of Physical Therapists (WCPT) on the global view of DA and PSR for physical therapy was used in this study. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: There was a high awareness on legislation regulating practice (91%) and scope (84%) of the prof...
