Resumen
Objetivo: Investigar el uso de la Escala Funcional Post-COVID-19 (PCFS) durante la evaluación fisioterapéutica en la práctica clínica. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio observacional analítico de corte transversal, realizado con 210 fisioterapeutas, independientemente del género, y con registro profesional regularizado. Se recogieron datos sociodemográficos, formación académica, conocimiento de las repercusiones clínicas del post-COVID-19, conocimiento y uso del PCFS. El estudio fue aprobado por el Comité de Ética en Investigación (CEP) bajo dictamen nº 5.604.589. Se aplicó la prueba de chi cuadrado para analizar la proporción de respuestas, utilizando el software SPSS 22.0 y el nivel de significancia adoptado fue p<0,05. Resultados: La muestra tenía una edad promedio de 33,0±8,5 años y una experiencia laboral de 9,0±8,3 años. Sólo el 28% conoce la escala PCFS, el 16% sabe dónde buscar la información necesaria para utilizar la escala adecuadamente y el 5% ya ha utilizado la escala en su práctica clínica. Hubo una asociación significativa entre quienes conocían las guías y/o asociaciones en el manejo de pacientes post-COVID-19 en relación al uso de la escala. Conclusión: Son pocos los fisioterapeutas que conocen y utilizan la escala PCFS en su práctica clínica, lo que resalta la importancia de sensibilizar sobre su uso como herramienta de evaluación adicional, capaz de monitorear las consecuencias funcionales de la enfermedad.
