Barriers and facilitators of vestibular rehabilitation: patients and physiotherapists’ perspectives
Abstract: Background and Purpose:
Poor adherence to vestibular rehabilitation protocols is a known barrier to optimal care. Vestibular clinicians’ comprehensive understanding of the barriers and facilitators to vestibular home exercise programs (VHEP) is a key element to achieving optimal care in the context of vestibular rehabilitation. The aims of this study are as follows: (1) to identify primary barriers and facilitators to VHEP from the perspective of patients with vestibular dysfunction and vestibular physical therapists (PTs); and (2) to provide strategies for clinicians to improve adherence and outcomes of VHEP.
Methods:
A qualitative research with single-session focus groups conducted separately for: (1) patients with vestibular disorders and (2) vestibular PTs. Six focus groups were conducted, 3 for each population, with a total of 39 participants. An online survey was conducted to evaluate the estimates of adherence rates, followed by a structured discussion over barriers and facilitators to VHEP as perceived by patients and PTs. Thematic data analyses were performed using a mixed deductive-inductive approach.
Results:
Eighteen patients with vestibular disorders and 21 experienced vestibular PTs participated in this study. Six barrier categories and 5 facilitator categories were identified. Barriers included motivation aspects, provocation of symptoms, time management, associated impairments, missing guidance and feedback, and psychosocial factors. Facilitators included motivation aspects, time management, patient education and exercise instructions, exercise setting, and associated symptom management.
Discussion and Conclusions:
Clinicians who prescribe home exercise to patients with vestibular disorders can use this information about common barriers and facilitators for patient education and to provide optimal care and improve rehabilitation outcomes
