| Abstract: | Dysfunctional breathing is a respiratory disorder for which an optimal treatment approach is needed to prevent long-term health problems. The Wearable Breathing Trainer is a wearable that could support the current treatment of dysfunctional breathing. The aim of this research is to explore the perspective of paediatric physiotherapists on the barriers and facilitators for the upcoming implementation of the Wearable Breathing Trainer. A qualitative cross-sectional study is carried out to interview paediatric physiotherapists in the Netherlands. The framework that has been used to give structure to these interviews is the MIDI instrument. For the data analysis, an inductive thematic analysis was applied. This study demonstrates that physiotherapists are enthusiastic about the use of the Wearable Breathing Trainer in their physiotherapy practice and there are quite a number of facilitators identified that support the implementation of this wearable. However, there is also an equal amount of barriers identified that would hinder this implementation and that would need to be addressed before the wearable is implemented. It is also evident that physiotherapists hold the opinion of their patients in high regard. Understanding their perspective, will contribute to a more seamless implementation process with minimal obstacles for physiotherapists. |
