- Abstract
One column of individual professional ethics teachings is the World Physiotherapy’s Code of Ethics, which the practitioners of all member countries are expected to comply with. An understanding of ethical practice internationally and its challenges for physiotherapists to translate it into their daily work is needed to inform how all physiotherapists can best be equipped to be moral agents in the context of their practice and society. In this project we aimed to understand the type and frequency of ethical situations encountered by physiotherapists from all World Physiotherapy regions, and what participant factors predict the frequency of experiencing ethical issues in different contexts. We investigated all five World Physiotherapy regions. In this presentation we will focus on the results for the European region.
