The opinion survey about supporting for disaster victims and disaster management in Japan
WCPT Congress 2015 / Physiotherapy 2015; Volume 101, Supplement 1 eS833–eS1237
Results: A slight negative correlation was found between BI scores at recovery care units and the existence of pneumonia complications (r = −0.24). No correlation was found between BI scores and other symptoms. Conclusion(s): It is very important to prevent muscle atrophy of paralyzed upper and lower limbs for stroke patients by stimulating effectively. It was suggested that complications of pneumonia found in an acute period of stroke patient may decrease BI score at a recovery care unit. Stroke patient with complication of pneumonia might not have been given rehabilitation approach. To prevent particularly pneumonia in an acute period of stroke patient will be effective for improving motor function at a recovery care unit. Implications: Complication of pneumonia in an acute period may inhibit subsequent function improvement of a stroke patient. Therefore, rehabilitation team has to prevent complication of pneumonia for the stroke patients as much as possible. Keywords: Stroke; ADL; Complications Funding acknowledgements: Our work was unfunded. Ethics approval: Ethics approval was not required because of retrospective study. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2015.03.1993 Research Report Poster Presentation Number: RR-PO-05-16-Sat Saturday 2 May 2015 13:00 Exhibit halls 401–403 THE OPINION SURVEY ABOUT SUPPORTING FOR DISASTER VICTIMS AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN JAPAN C.

Hospital, Nagoya, Japan; 2 National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Oobu, Japan; 3 Aichi Prefectural Colony Central Hospital, Kasugai, Japan; 4 Kamiiida Rehabilitation Hospital, Nagoya, Japan Background: The earthquake, which occurred on March 11, 2011 wreaked enormous damage on Japan. Many members of Japan physical therapy association (JPTA) supported its victims by various ways. It has been 3 years since it occurred. As time goes by, they tend to come less interested in it. Purpose: The aim of study is to grasp how physical therapists think about supporting for disaster victims and disaster management. Methods: The method of work was unsigned questionnaire method. We randomly chose 1,500 members of JPTA for the subject. Mainly we asked them using multiple-choice questions. At the same time, we requested them to state their views about supporting for disaster victims and disaster

management. All answers were checked and classified each category. Results: The number of answering questionnaires was 683(45.5%). Furthermore, the number of stating their views freely was 201(13.4%). The majority opinions of them were as follows: (1) The organizational preparation of supporting system for disaster victims (n = 33), (2) There’s something to do for a physical therapist. (n = 22), (3) It’s difficult to participate relief activities (n = 21), (4) It’s necessary to get information about disaster area and victims, etc. (n = 21), (5) It should be continued to support disaster victims (n = 15), (6) It’s necessary to consider carefully how to support disaster victims for a physical therapist. (n = 15). Conclusion(s): We could grasp various views from physical therapist all over Japan in this study. In Japan, it is possible to anticipate big disaster in the near future. We’d like to cooperate with everyone, not only as a physical therapist but also as a citizen. Implications: Now there’re pros and cons regarding them, but it’s possible to build a new field for physical therapists. Keywords: Supporting disaster victims; Disaster management; Opinion survey Funding acknowledgements: The work was a part of study funded by JPTA. Ethics approval: We told them that we didn’t announce personally identifiable information. We judged to obtain their consents by getting their answers. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2015.03.1994 Special Interest Report Poster Presentation Number: SI-PO-21-01-Sat Saturday 2 May 2015 12:15 Exhibit halls 401–403 CULTURAL ADAPTATION OF PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICES: CHANGING MANAGER ATTITUDES T.

Background: Community based physiotherapists are required to motivate their patients for behavior change as an integral part of their treatment. It has been demonstrated that individuals from cultural minorities are less responsive to advice on health behavior change, such as weight loss or physical activity. In order to induce behavior change therapeutic communication needs to be culturally appropriate.
