“…The method of delivery allowed for a higher absolute response rate than previous comparable electronic surveys of Canadian physical therapists. 14,15 The demographic profile of the total respondent sample was compared to the demographic profile of all registered Canadian physical therapists and determined to be an accurate demographic sampling of the population, 4 indicating that the results have some degree of generalizability.…”

Purpose: To describe and compare Canadian physical therapists' perspectives on the importance of characteristics required for leadership in the workplace and in society and to explore the implications for the profession. Methods: This quantitative, cross-sectional study used a web-based survey of members of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) with a registered email address (n=6156). The perceived importance of leadership characteristics at the workplace level versus the societal level was examined using a Mann-Whitney U test, with the significance set at α=0.05. Results: A total of 1,511 respondents completed the questionnaire for a 24.5% response rate; they rated communication, professionalism, and credibility as the most important characteristics. For each of the 15 leadership characteristics, significantly fewer physical therapists chose the rating “extremely important” at the societal level than did so at the workplace level (p<0.001 for all characteristics). Conclusions: Physical therapists consistently rate leadership characteristics as more important in the workplace than at the societal level. Future research should aim to guide understanding about the reasons for this difference in perceived importance of leadership characteristics across different contexts.

We can also observe a negative correlation between functional capacity and the Fagerström questionnaire score (p=0.004;r=-0.3). We concluded that the smoke load and the nicotine dependence levels were related to worse quality of life indices of the smoking population.Keywords | Tobacco Use Disorder; Quality of Life; Dependency Substance-related Disorders.RESUMO | O tabagismo é considerado uma doença crônica e uma das principais causas de mortes evitáveis no mundo.A qualidade de vida é uma importante medida de impacto na saúde e em sua relação com os níveis de dependência de nicotina e de carga tabagística, os quais ainda não estão totalmente esclarecidos.

“…Coupled with these recommendations, it is important that the professional detect risk situations that can lead to relapse, such as being close to people who smoke, not following proper prescription medication, consuming alcoholic drinks and coffee in the early days of termination (considered as triggers for cigarette cravings), having cigarettes in the home and not following the recommended guidelines [12,13].…”

“…Other guidelines that need to be passed on to the smoker are: avoiding having any cigarettes stored at home, paying attention to food composition (avoiding high calorie foods, such as fried foods and sweets), taking medication properly, gaining weight cautiously and, moreover, including physical activity in the routine [8,12].…”

“…It is important to emphasize that smoking affects many systems in the body such as the respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and neurological systems; and the role of the physical therapist includes clinical practice in all these areas [10,12]. Given the above considerations, it is essential to widen the knowledge on the role of the physical therapist in smoking intervention, since smoking can directly influence daily behaviour.…”

Objective: To update the literature on the role of the physical therapist in smoking cessation interventions and the effects of smoking in different therapeutic approaches. For this update the Medline, Scielo, Lilacs and Cochrane electronic databases were searched using the following keywords: physical therapy specialty, physical therapists, tobacco use cessation, smoking, national program of tobacco control. The physical therapist presents particularities that enable them a broad role in smoking intervention due to frequent contact with the patient for prolonged periods, generally individually; physical therapy usually takes place several times a week for sessions of one hour or more and for long follow up periods (months or years), characteristics which are quite specific to these professionals. Conclusion:Physical therapists present particularities and characteristics that enable them to become facilitators in the smoking intervention process, and they can thus act both preventively and as interventionists in this process. It is important that these professionals become aware of their role in smoking cessation and act more clearly in this process, with the goal of optimizing treatment and preventing complications, seeking improvement in the health of their patients.
