Abstract
Introduction: Physiotherapy is an independent health
profession today, and physiotherapists are distinguished
by three professional roles: educators, clinicians and
researchers, which require the development of certain
competencies.
Aim: To investigate the attitudes of physiotherapists,
physiotherapists, and lecturers about the importance of
developing formal and informal education in physiotherapy.
Materials and methods: Electronic search of literature
in bibliographic databases (Croatian Scientific Bibliography, PubMed, Cohrane Library, Physiotherapy) with the
key words “Physiotherapy”, “Education”, “Competences”.
Results: By eliminating the sources according to the selected criteria, by the filtering process, 19 final sources
were obtained that were suitable for analyzing and reviewing the literature on the importance of formal and
non-formal education in physiotherapy.
Conclusion: Evidence-based practice is the most important element of modern physiotherapy, and the best evidence is considered randomized controlled research
and systematic reviews of literature that are still present in a very small number that are directly related to
the topic of building key competencies with regard to
the academic level of education of health professionals
and problems that arise in translating new scientific and
empirical knowledge into everyday practice.
