This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess rehabilitation professionals' attitudes toward TR and to examine the association of demographic and professional characteristics with these attitudes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This two\u2010phase cross\u2010sectional study involved 139 rehabilitation professionals from audiology, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy. In Phase 1, questionnaire development included face and content validity assessment by an expert panel. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) identified the underlying structure, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) provided preliminary support for the model. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. In Phase 2, the validated questionnaire was administered, and data were analyzed using independent t\u2010tests and one\u2010way ANOVA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The 33\u2010item questionnaire demonstrated excellent validity (CVI\u2009&gt;\u20090.90) and reliability (Cronbach's\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.91). EFA identified a three\u2010factor structure explaining 76.17% of the total variance. Participants reported generally positive attitudes toward TR, particularly regarding its potential to expand access to services across wider geographical areas and support service delivery during pandemics. Consultation was perceived as the rehabilitation process most amenable to TR. Key perceived barriers included limited access to internet and communication technologies, concerns about service quality, and service undervaluation. Attitudes did not differ significantly according to age, educational level, work experience, or clinical field. Level of knowledge significantly affected one attitude domain (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.01), with a non\u2010linear pattern observed across knowledge levels.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The developed questionnaire demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties for assessing rehabilitation professionals' attitudes toward TR. Rehabilitation professionals generally recognized the benefits of TR, particularly its potential to improve service accessibility and continuity of care, while also identifying important barriers related to infrastructure and service quality. The questionnaire provides a comprehensive tool for evaluating attitudes toward TR and may support future research on factors influencing its adoption across rehabilitation settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.73121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T04:55:19Z","timestamp":1788238519000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring Rehabilitation Professionals' Attitudes Toward Telerehabilitation Using Developing a New Questionnaire: A Cross \u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Seyede Zohre","family":"Mousavi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology, School of Rehabilitation Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9844-3111","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elham","family":"Tavanai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology, School of Rehabilitation Tehran University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Salmani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Health, Geriatric Health Research Center Birjand University of Medical Sciences Birjand Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahdieh","family":"Karimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech Therapy, School of Rehabilitation Tehran University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1867-4735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vida","family":"Rahimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology, School of Rehabilitation Tehran University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","volume-title":"Telehealth in the Developing World","author":"Wootton R.","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7874\/jao.2017.00353"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/14992020903470783"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/tmj.2004.10.129"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/J148v25n03_01"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1357633X0501100102"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4258\/hir.2012.18.2.153"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/468560"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","volume-title":"Telemedicine: Opportunities and Developments in Member states.
