Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify service users’ views and attitudes to access, physiotherapy and patient-autonomous health-seeking behaviours. Postal questionnaires containing a mix of open and closed questions, attitude statements and free text for comments were sent to all consenting patients 4 weeks after discharge from physiotherapy. Responses were analysed by referral group: self-referred patients; patients referred by their general practitioner (GP); and patients referred at the suggestion of their GP.
