This study describes private-sector physiotherapists' inter-professional practices regarding low back pain (LBP) management and identifies organizational and provider-level variables associated with the intensity of such practices. Method: A total of 327 randomly selected physiotherapists were surveyed in the province of Quebec. Data were analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression analyses. Results: Physiotherapists reported frequent interactions with other physiotherapists (daily\/weekly for 52.6%), family physicians (51.0%), and physiotherapy (PT) assistants (45.2%), but infrequent interactions with psychologists (3.6%), neurosurgeons (0.9%), and chiropractors (0.3%). Frequently reported means of interactions were written and oral messages sent through clients (55.1% and 24.1%, respectively), face-to-face unplanned discussions (41.9%), and faxed or mailed letters (23.2%). Variables associated with the intensity of inter-professional practices (mean of 6.7 [SD 1.7] out of 10 on the Intensity of Interprofessional Practices Questionnaire for Private Sector Physiotherapists) were related to physiotherapists' clientele, social activities with other providers, and perceptions of inter-professional practices as well as organizational models, vision, and provision of PT training. Conclusions: There is room to improve inter-professional practices with private-sector physiotherapists involved in managing LBP. Targets for action include physiotherapists and their workplaces. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3138\/ptc.2015-37","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,16]],"date-time":"2016-06-16T20:08:50Z","timestamp":1466107730000},"page":"323-334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Inter-Professional Practices of Private-Sector Physiotherapists for Low Back Pain Management: Who, How, and When?"],"prefix":"10.3138","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Kadija","family":"Perreault","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Laval"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clermont E.","family":"Dionne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Laval"},{"name":"Axe sant\u00e9 des populations et pratiques optimales en sant\u00e9, Centre de recherche du CHU de Qu\u00e9bec \u2013 Universit\u00e9 Laval, Quebec City"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michel","family":"Rossignol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health, McGill University"},{"name":"Institut national d'excellence en sant\u00e9 et en services sociaux, Montreal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"St\u00e9phane","family":"Poitras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Rehabilitation Science, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa, Ottawa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diane","family":"Morin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Laval"},{"name":"Institut universitaire de formation et de recherche en soins, UNIL-CHUV, Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1696","reference":[{"volume-title":"Framework for action on interprofessional education & collaborative practice","year":"2010","author":"World Health Organization","key":"B1"},{"issue":"1","key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"188","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6963-8-188","volume":"8","author":"D'Amour D","year":"2008","journal-title":"BMC Health Serv Res"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1080\/13561820500081604","volume":"19","author":"D'Amour D","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Interprof Care"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203420690_chapter_1","volume-title":"Interprofessional collaboration: from policy to practice in health and social care","author":"Leathard A","year":"2003"},{"volume-title":"Teamwork in healthcare: promoting effective teamwork in healthcare in Canada.
