Dans ce domaine, la France possède une place à part, car si les coopérations avec les médecins sont encouragées, elles sont l'exception, malgré un maillage territorial favorable. Les points forts et les points faibles sont envisagés, mais il semble bien que de nombreux obstacles et enjeux freinent cette procédure.
Les affections chroniques se prêtent parfaitement à ces échanges de pratiques, quand bien même d'autres professionnels ont déjà investi ce domaine.
Délégations et transferts de pratiques seraient le témoin d'une autonomie professionnelle en devenir, sous forme d'un accès libre partiel.
DIRECT ACCESS TO PHYSIOTHERAPY
A process to invent in France
The purpose of this study is to map the presence of direct access to physiotherapy services. Attaining professional autonomy is an evolution for physiotherapists and their professional organizations. Published literature on direct access has to date primarily been limited to articles about low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain. Patients with direct access for physiotherapy appear to differ from other patients who were referred by their physician, they were more likely to be younger and higher educated, men 40 to 59 years, and the decisions do not differ with the physician, 86-100%. The patients were satisfied with assessment by a physiotherapist.
The apparently successful way of Quebec (1980) and the study of the point of view of swiss physiotherapists (2002) by survey are instructive. In France, professional legislation, médical profession, policy makers and may be patients are perceived to act as both barriers to and facilitators. The treatments of chronic diseases are able to help to direct access.
