Abstract:Humanitarne nevladne organizacije imajo ključno vlogo pri zagotavljanju zdravstvenih storitev v okoljih z omejenimi viri, kjer dostop do rehabilitacije pogosto ni mogoč. Zavod Fizioterapevti brez meja je slovenska humanitarna organizacija, ki nudi fizioterapevtske storitve na terenu v različnih državah. Namen raziskave je bil ovrednotiti prispevek takšne organizacije k dostopu do fizioterapije in kakovosti življenja uporabnikov na območju Mbeye v Tanzaniji. Uporabljen je bil kombiniran raziskovalni pristop, ki je vključeval analizo literature, študijo primera in anketno raziskavo med pacienti, ki so prejeli fizioterapevtsko obravnavo na domu v okviru humanitarnega projekta. Vprašalnik, prilagojen posebnostim dela na terenu, je temeljil na standardiziranem orodju za merjenje zadovoljstva pacientov. Analiza je pokazala visoko stopnjo zadovoljstva pacientov, ki so kot najpomembnejše prednosti izpostavili dostopnost storitev, individualiziran pristop in strokovno usposobljenost fizioterapevtov. Izzivi, ki so se pojavili pri izvajanju storitev, so vključevali omejene materialne vire, kulturne razlike in logistične ovire. Študija primera je poudarila pomen interdisciplinarnega sodelovanja ter prilagodljivih modelov dela. Rezultati potrjujejo, da delo Zavoda Fizioterapevti brez meja pomembno prispeva k izboljšanju dostopa do fizioterapevtskih storitev v okoljih z omejenimi viri. Ugotovitve ponujajo smernice za razvoj trajnostnih intervencij, izboljšanje organizacijskih modelov ter oblikovanje programov usposabljanja, prilagojenih delovanju v takšnih okoljih.

Abstract:Humanitarian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a crucial role in providing healthcare services in resource-limited settings, where access to rehabilitation is often unavailable. Physiotherapists Without Borders is a Slovenian humanitarian organization delivering physiotherapy services in various countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the organization’s contribution to improving access to physiotherapy and quality of life for service users in the Mbeya region of Tanzania. A mixed-methods research approach was applied, including literature analysis, a case study, and a survey of patients who received home-based physiotherapy as part of a humanitarian project. The questionnaire, adapted to the specific conditions of fieldwork, was based on a standardized tool for measuring patient satisfaction. The analysis revealed a high level of patient satisfaction, with accessibility of services, individualized care, and professional competence of physiotherapists highlighted as the most valued aspects. The main challenges encountered during service delivery included limited material resources, cultural differences, and logistical barriers. The case study emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and flexible models of work. The findings confirm that the work of Physiotherapists Without Borders significantly contributes to improving access to physiotherapy services in resource-limited settings. The results provide guidance for developing sustainable interventions, enhancing organizational models, and designing training programs tailored to work in such environments.
