Resumo: | Objective: to evaluate factors related with usage of Electrophysical Agents (EA) by Brazilian physiotherapists. Methodology: it was a cross-sectional and quantitative study, whose data were collected through an online questionnaire containing participants’ general, demographic and professional information, as well as questions related with usage of EA in physiotherapeutic clinical practice and factors related with non-usage and usage of these agents. Results: sample consisted of 407 physical therapists aged between 20 and 67 years (31.12 ± 7.72 years). Most participants completed their undergraduate studies in institutions located in Brazil Northeast region and presented some difficulties when using EA during their undergraduate. The specialization in trauma-orthopedics, professional performance in public services and usage of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in clinical practice were the most described. In addition, complications with EA usage were reported by respondents and most of them never took refresher courses on the topic after graduation. Conclusion: the results of the present study demonstrated that the availability and use of EA by physical therapists is not yet consolidated, being related with factors such as area of work, workplace and updates after graduation. |

Metodologia: fue un estudio transversal y cuantitativo, cuyos datos fueron recolectados a través de un cuestionario en línea semiestructurado, que contenía información general, demográfica y profesional de los participantes, así como preguntas relacionadas con el uso de AE en la práctica clínica fisioterapéutica y factores relacionados con no utilizar estos recursos. Resultados: la muestra estuvo formada por 407 fisioterapeutas con edades comprendidas entre 20 y 67 años (31,12 ± 7,72 años). La mayoría de los participantes completaron sus estudios de pregrado en instituciones de la región Nordeste y presentaron algunas dificultades al utilizar AE durante su formación. La especialización en traumatología-ortopedia, la actuación profesional en los servicios públicos y el uso de la Estimulación Nerviosa Eléctrica Transcutánea (TENS) en la práctica clínica fueron las más descritas. Además, los encuestados rara vez informaron sobre complicaciones con el uso de AE y la mayoría de ellos nunca tomó cursos de actualización sobre el tema después de graduarse. Conclusión: los resultados del presente estudio demostraron que la disponibilidad y uso de AE por fisioterapeutas aún no está consolidada, estando condicionada a factores como área de actuación, lugar de trabajo y actualizaciones posteriores a la graduación.Objetivo: avaliar fatores relacionados ao uso de Agentes Eletrofísicos (AE) por fisioterapeutas brasileiros.
