After the questionnaires were handed out to them for 180 days from July to December 2013, they were collected. Results: The results showed that only 14 respondents(25%) knew about the therapeutic intervention of cardiopulmonary physical therapy, while respectively, 57.1% and 17.9% of them responded they didn't know about it well, and they didn't know about it, at all. As a result, physical therapists' awareness about cardiopulmonary physical therapy was at an extremely low level, overall. Moreover, 60.7%, 7.1%, 8.9% and 23.3% of the subjects answered that they obtained knowledge about cardiopulmonary physical therapy from school curriculum, from association seminars, from related books and from other sources, respectively.

본 연구는 물리치료 인식도 개선에 필요한 기초자료를 제시하고, 자립개설에 관한 의식도를 알아보기 위하여 경남지역 물리치료사 175명을 대상으로 실시되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 10.0 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 일반적 특성, 현재의 근무처 및 소속여건, 직무만족도에 대한 연구는 카이제곱검정의 빈도분석을, 자립개설에 관한 연구는 EXCEL 프로그램을 사용하였다. 통계적 유의순준 a는 0.05로 선정하였다. 성별에 따른 물리치료에 대한 흥미도는 남자가 52.2%로 여자보다 높게 나타났고, 자기능력 발전에 대해 종합병원이 32.8%로 의원보다 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 자립개설에 대한 찬반의견은 83.4%가 찬성하였고, 자립개설 시 가장 먼저 해야 할 일은 전문적인 이론 및 임상 치료기술 습득이 57.5%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 개설 분야는 근골격계 물리치료가 45.2%, 자립개설 시 가장 걸림돌로 작용하는 것은 의사의 의식 39.7%로 나타났다. 자립개설이 이루어지기 위해서는 물리치료사들의 전문적인 이론 및 임상치료기술을 습득하고, 물리치료사와 의사간의 의식 개선이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 물리치료 관련학과를 4년제로 일원화해야 할 것이며, 물리치료사의 자립개설에 대한 법제화가 반드시 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
