Factors Affecting Work‐time Allocation Among Physiotherapists
ABSTRACT As part of a time budget study among 149 physiotherapists in Västerbotten County, northern Sweden, a Multiple Classification Analysis was completed. The aims were to evaluate the relative importance of some factors for the allocation of working hours, and to devise comparable measures of th...
