<p><bold><italic>Purpose:</italic>
</bold>
The aims of this study were to identify (1) practice patterns of Canadian physiotherapists who consider themselves women's health providers or educators (WHPTs); (2) WHPTs' perception of the relative importance of entry-level and post-professional education curricular content directed at women's health issues; and (3) WHPTs' patterns and preferences with respect to continuing education. <bold><italic>Method:</italic>
</bold>
A survey link was sent via e-mail to all 429 members of the Women's Health Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and to physiotherapist educators at the 14 Canadian physiotherapy programmes. <bold><italic>Results:</italic>
</bold>
A total of 114 WHPTs responded (27%), including 16 educators. Of the 114 respondents, 53% spent less than 25% of their practice specifically treating women's health issues. Over half of the 114 respondents felt that entry-level preparation must include aging issues, musculoskeletal dysfunction, osteoporosis, and sports injuries in women. Respondents' stated that post-professional education should also include female anatomy, obstetrics and gynecology, pelvic floor assessment, treatment of urogenital concerns, complications of cancer, wellness and health promotion, and research. Most respondents (63%) showed interest in achieving continuing-education credentials in women's health, preferably using a combined theoretical online and hands-on weekend-based format. <bold><italic>Conclusions:</italic>
</bold>
The survey results suggest that WHPTs practising in Canada seek post-professional training with an emphasis on pelvic floor assessment and treatment, obstetrics and gynecology, urogenital concerns, complications of cancer, wellness and health promotion, and research. Future research should focus on the barriers to devoting full-time practice hours to WHPTs.</p>

<trans-abstract xml:lang="fr"><title>RÉSUMÉ</title>
<p><bold><italic>Objectif :</italic>
</bold>
Les objectifs de cette étude étaient de définir (1) les modèles de pratique des physiothérapeutes canadiens qui se considèrent comme des fournisseurs de soins en santé des femmes ou comme des professionnels de l'éducation à la santé pour les femmes ; (2) la perception que les physiothérapeutes en santé des femmes ont de l'importance relative du contenu traitant de la santé des femmes dans les programmes d'enseignement au niveau d'entrée et en formation postprofessionnelle ; et (3) les modèles et les préférences de ces physiothérapeutes en matière de formation continue. <bold><italic>Méthode :</italic>
</bold>
Un lien Web conduisant à un sondage a été envoyé par courriel aux 429 membres de la division Santé des femmes de l'Association canadienne de physiothérapie et aux enseignants en physiothérapie de 14 programmes d'enseignement de la physiothérapie au Canada. <bold><italic>Résultats :</italic>
</bold>
Au total, 114 physiothérapeutes en santé des femmes (27 %), parmi lesquels 16 enseignants dont 53 % consacraient moins de 25 % de leur pratique à traiter des problèmes particuliers propres aux femmes, ont répondu au sondage. Plus de la moitié a estimé que la préparation au niveau d'entrée doit aborder des questions telles que le vieillissement, les dysfonctions musculosquelettiques, l'ostéoporose et les blessures sportives chez les femmes. Les répondants se sont dits d'avis que la formation postprofessionnelle devrait aussi couvrir des sujets tels que l'anatomie féminine, l'obstétrique et la gynécologie, l'évaluation du plancher pelvien, le traitement de problèmes urologiques, les complications associées au cancer, la promotion de la santé et du bien-être ainsi que la recherche. La majorité des répondants (63 %) se sont dits intéressés par l'acquisition de compétences supplémentaires dans le cadre de formation sur la santé des femmes, idéalement sous forme théorique en ligne et dans le cadre d'ateliers pratiques qui pourraient se tenir au cours d'une fin de semaine. <bold><italic>Conclusions :</italic>
</bold>
Le sondage suggère que les physiothérapeutes en santé des femmes qui pratiquent au Canada souhaiteraient bénéficier de formation postprofessionnelle qui porterait principalement sur l'évaluation du plancher pelvien et sur le traitement de troubles qui y sont associés, l'obstétrique et la gynécologie, les problèmes urologiques, les complications associées au cancer, la promotion de la santé et du bien-être ainsi que la recherche. Des recherches ultérieures devraient se concentrer sur les obstacles associés à des heures de pratique entièrement consacrées à la physiothérapie spécifique à la santé des femmes.</p>
