Overview

Cross-sectional study investigates sociodemographic predictors of cultural competence in physiotherapists, showing education significantly impacts skills and knowledge.

Key Points

  • Higher educational levels are associated with improved cultural competence skills among physiotherapists.
  • Significant predictors include education level, specialization, and years of experience in fostering cultural competence.
  • Physiotherapists with a bachelor’s or PhD degree exhibit better cultural competence knowledge than those with a master’s.
  • Specialization in orthopedics, musculoskeletal, or sports lowers cultural competence awareness compared to other fields.
