Özet
Purpose: Physiology is an experimental science and is present in the fundamental education of medicine and health sciences. The study aimed to investigate the importance of physiology education in physiotherapy and rehabilitation (PT).Material and Methods: The study retrieved the opinions of 249 participants (131 physiotherapists (PTs) and 118 PT students) on physiology education with an online questionnaire. The questionnaire included 30 items on the following subjects: physiology education, effects of physiology education on professional life, opinions on supplementary materials (laboratory brochures, books), and PT curriculum (lessons and lesson hours of physiology).Results: Theoretical physiology education mainly employed PowerPoint or projection (66.4% of PTs and 55.1% of students), while practical education utilized supplementary materials in the laboratories of 40.5 % of PTs and 35.6 % of students. Nearly half of the participants (47.8%) declared the quality of the physiology education as moderate. A ratio of 41.2% of PTs and 44.9% of students neither agreed nor disagreed with receiving problem-focused physiology education. Participants considered that the most critical physiology course was exercise physiology. Furthermore, they stated that physiology education was essential in clinical practice and helpful in understanding other curriculum lessons.Conclusion: Physiology education was critical in clinical lessons and professional life quality in PT. The results of the study recommend increasing and updating problem-based physiology education.
