Abstract
Background : Physiotherapy is a rapidly evolving profession with a strong theoretical and scientific base and widespread clinical applications. Physiotherapists are health care professionals who help people to maintain, restore, and recover from injuries, and also enhance movement, activity, and functioning, allowing for optimal performance, and quality of life. The higher secondary science background students are the potential candidates to pursue bachelor of physiotherapy in India. Aim : To find out the awareness and knowledge of physiotherapy as a career option among higher secondary students. Materials and methods : The cross-sectional study was undertaken with the help of a self-made questionnaire which was distributed to 96 higher secondary students with biology as elective subject. Data was collected and statistically analysed. Result : 84% of students were aware of the physiotherapy course. It was found that 46% students were aware of physiotherapy from hospital sources, 32% students were aware from school, and 25% of students were aware from family and relatives. 73% students did know about eligibility for bachelor of physiotherapy, 66% knew about NEET, which is required for admission in bachelor of physiotherapy, 67% did 76% knew that BPTH is the minimum criteria, 54% knew about specialization in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, 36% knew about specialization in neurophysiotherapy, 80% of students were aware of their future career options after completing their physiotherapy programme. And 67% students wanted to pursue physiotherapy as their career. Conclusion :The study concluded that 84% of the Higher Secondary students are aware about physiotherapy, but there is still a lack of complete awareness and knowledge of physiotherapy among higher secondary science students (biology students) in Jalgaon city. Appropriate measures have to be taken to create a good attitude towards the profession through these influential sources.
