Clinical reasoning and critical reflection in physiotherapists’ examinations of patients with low back pain in its early phase : a qualitative study …
2017
Aim: The aim of this study was to deepen the current understanding of physiotherapists’ decision-making process and more specifically, to investigate their reflections on their clinical reasoning when examining low back pain patients. Method: Data were collected in interviews with six physiotherapists, were the stimulated recall method was used. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed and then analysed by content analysis. Results: Physiotherapists critically analysed and reflected their choices and decisions in clinical reasoning with patient’s symptoms, onset of pain, clinical test choices and results.

Physiotherapists’ experiences of direct access for clients with musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction: a qualitative study
2019
Aims: The aim of this study was to qualitatively analyse physiotherapists’ experiences and perspectives for delivering services directly, without prescription or referral, for clients with musculoskeletal pain or dysfunction. Methods: This was a qualitative study where data were collected from questionnaires given to 34 physiotherapists, 18 of them being in direct access for 6 years and 16 for 6 months. There were 15 structured questions and 3 open-ended ones. The answers were analysed with quantitative and qualitative methods. Results: The data analysis of the open-ended questions showed that physiotherapists had positive experiences of direct access. This practice brought meaningfulness, …
Patients' conceptions of undergoing physiotherapy for persistent low back pain delivered in Finnish primary healthcare by physiotherapists who had pa…
2020
To explore the conceptions of patients with persistent low back pain (LBP) of undergoing physiotherapy delivered in Finnish primary healthcare by physiotherapists who had participated in brief training in Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT).As part of a feasibility implementation study exploring CFT in management of LBP in the Finnish primary healthcare system, we interviewed nine patients from four geographical areas in Finland after receiving care. We used a phenomenographic approach to explore the variation in their conceptions.The analysis revealed four descriptive categories: "hung out to dry," "stuck," "making sense and taking control," and "holistic approach to care and living," that …
Guidance strategies and motor modelling in physiotherapy
1996
Patient education is an important aspect of physiotherapy. Supporting and developing patients' self-motivation and activity requires efficient education during the practice period. Physiotherapists use predominantly verbal instruction and demonstration in their teaching activities. The aim of this study was to investigate how physiotherapists organise their therapeutic interventions in order to facilitate patients' learning. This was done by studying the ways in which physiotherapists provide their patients with the mental and motoric imagery pertaining to the action to be performed using verbal, visual and manual guidance. The study was undertaken at three hospitals in southern Finland. Fi…
A comparative analysis of the sustainability of rice cultivation technologies using the analytic network process
2010
Sustainability of local farming systems and technologies is a very important issue that faces notorious measurement difficulties. Multi-criteria methods may help researchers to solve empirical problems in the construction of composite sustainability indicators and in ranking agricultural technologies according to their sustainability. This paper shows how a multi-criteria decision-making technique, the Analytic Network Process (ANP), can be fruitfully employed to this end. Contrary to simpler and hierarchical goal-criteria-alternative approaches, in ANP all the elements in the network can be related in any possible way, which means that a network can incorporate feedback and interdependent …
Finnish welfare service system from the standpoint of women in vulnerable life situations
2020
In this chapter, the authors analyse how the Finnish welfare service system, as it consists of different institutions and professionals, meets or fails to meet the needs of women in varying vulnerable life situations. The participants are women with severe substance abuse problems, women sentenced for committing a crime and poor lone mothers living on basic social benefits. The findings show that women’s experiences of encounters with welfare professionals as well as their access to and use of the services share a number of characteristics. They described several barriers and problems related to the complexity of the service system. These included receiving only limited support for basic ne…
Síntesis y caracterización de compuestos de Cu(II) con derivados triazólicos. Estudio de su actividad como potenciales nucleasas químicas
2014
The main goal of this PhD thesis concerns the development of artificial metallonucleases based on copper(II)-1,2,4-triazole compounds. In order to do so, we have obtained metal compounds of different nuclearities by reaction of a new family of 1,2,4-triazole ligands with copper(II) salts. The ligands own the characteristic triazole properties upon coordinating to metals and also integrate DNA binding units (aromatic moieties) with the aim of increasing the affinity of the corresponding metal complexes to double strand DNA. We have also chosen the copper(II) ion due to its intrinsic redox and coordination properties. Here we present our conclusions in relation with their structure/activity a…

Miten ja kenelle valtakunnalliset nuorisojärjestöt legitimoivat toimintansa?
2018
Perinteisesti kansalaisten omaehtoiseen toimintaan perustuneen kolmannen sektorin tehtävät ja toimintatavat ovat muutoksessa. Aiempi tutkimus osoittaa, miten palvelutuotanto, kaupallistuminen, ammatillisuus ja muut julkisen ja yksityisen sektorin toimintaperiaatteita yhdistävät hybridit piirteet lisääntyvät järjestöjen toiminnassa. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan, miten nuorisotyön kentällä toimivat valtakunnalliset nuorisojärjestöt legitimoivat olemassaoloaan osana muuttuvaa kolmatta sektoria. Laadullisen tarkastelun kohteena ovat järjestöjen legitimaatioargumentit sekä legitimaatioyleisöt, joille argumentit osoitetaan. Tärkeimpiä nuorisojärjestöjen legitimaatioyleisöjä …
