Abstract
The professional status of physiotherapists in Sudan is reported to be low even though the profession was established in Khartoum, Sudan in 1969. Intensive care units are operating in Khartoum, Sudan. Physiotherapists have been reported to be integral to the management of intensive care patients. Globally, the role of ICU physiotherapists in the management of ICU patients have been explored and described; however, this information is lacking for Khartoum, where the profession is still in its infancy. Therefore, this study aimed to explore and describe the physiotherapists’ perceptions of their role in the management of intensive care patients in Khartoum, Sudan.
