Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
- What are the tasks of physiotherapists in the medical care of palliative patients and are there differences (e.g. different focus) in the 3 areas of palliative care (hospice, palliative ward, SAPV)? - Which special treatments, forms of therapy and techniques do physiotherapists use with palliative patients? - How do physiotherapists assess their "standing" in palliative care and is physiotherapy used sensibly for palliative patients in their opinion? - What is the need for further training in the special forms of treatment of palliative patients among the participating physiotherapists?

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Is the time frame of about 20 minutes per physiotherapeutic treatment unit and palliative patient considered sufficient by physiotherapists, or should the treatment time per patient be extended for certain forms of therapy?
