The adherence of healthcare providers to asthma guidelines is poor. National study whose objective is to investigate the current adherence to the respiratory rehabilitation recommendations proposed by the British Thoracic Society in the management of asthma among physiotherapists from both primary and secondary care. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Ten general hospitals in the four main cities of Colombia Participants: 224 physiotherapists Interventions: none Main outcomes: This self-report questionnaire was used to identify interventions and components of respiratory rehabilitation programs as recommended by the British Thoracic Society (from 1 for 'always applied' to 5 for 'never applied'). Demographic and practice data were collected. Results: The sample included 224 physiotherapists of which 169 were women (75.4%) and 55 men (24.5%). Most of the age of the sample ranged between 20 and 29 years (56.7%). Respiratory exercises 'an intervention with a high level of evidence (grade A)' were always applied in 35.3% of the physiotherapists. We also found low response rates for interventions with a moderate grade of recommendation (grade B) such as the Buteyko breathing technique and the use of appropriate tools (that is, a specific quality of life measure for asthma, anxiety and depression measures, and Nijmegen questionnaire) was the response (94% and 21%) respectively among the respondents.Conclusions: We confirmed important differences in the therapeutic auxiliary components of respiratory rehabilitation proposed by the British Thoracic Society for patients with asthma.
