Abstract:
Objectives
The aim of this research was to assess the level of awareness of rehabilitation professionals employed in rehabilitation academic centers in Tehran about Telerehabilitation technology.
Materials And Methods
In this study a descriptive cross-sectional research method was used. The research was implemented by using a researcher-designed questionnaire which was developed by integration and cultural adaptation of different tools collected in the field of telehealth implementation feasibility. The content and face validity of the questionnaire was determined and approved by the Lawsche’s method. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by test-retest correlation coefficient determinations. After considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, informed consent was obtatined, and the questionnaires were distributed among the study sample which included 141 rehabilitation professionals.
Results
The findings show that a desirable level of awareness does not exist among rehabilitation professionals regarding this technology. Based upon the results, only 8% of the participants had basic knowledge about this technology and its possible requirements in case of implementation.
Conclusion
Since rehabilitation professionals’ awareness and knowledge can be a major key to a better implementation and application of this technology, it seems that there is a need for some developmental and training programs such as informative educational workshops and seminars to help them improve their level of knowledge and awareness.
