What is “It's second best”: A mixed-methods evaluation of the experiences and attitudes of people with musculoskeletal pain towards physiotherapist delivered telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic about?
Background: Musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice rapidly adopted telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a unique opportunity to evaluate the experiences and attitudes of people who would not usually engage with these services. Methods: A sequential mixed-methods study recruited people with musculoskeletal pain conditions accessing Australian private practice physiotherapist services. Part 1 involved an online survey of telehealth services accessed, treatments and resources provided, self-reported global change in condition, and attitudes toward telehealth. Part 2 involved semi-structured interviews with a subset of survey participants, exploring experiences and attitudes towards telehealth. Quantitative data was reported descriptively. Qualitative data was evaluated using inductive thematic analysis. Results: 172 participants responded to the survey, and 19 were interviewed. 95% accessed video-based telehealth, and 85% reported condition improvement. 84% agreed it was an efficient use of their time, 75% agreed it was financially viable, and 73% agreed their condition was accurately diagnosed. 62% percent believed telehealth should be less expensive than in-person serv
