This is an Excel file of data downloaded from an online survey via Survey
Monkey platform. Each sheet of the Excel file contains a question from the
survey with the results and a graph, where applicable. Verbatim responses
and free text have been removed.  Aim The aim of the survey was
to assess Australian physiotherapists’ knowledge about, attitudes towards,
and self-reported use of shared decision making, as well as perceived
barriers to its implementation in practice. Methods Physiotherapists
registered for a national Australian physiotherapy conference were invited
via email and the conference app to complete a self-administered online
questionnaire about shared decision making, including: a) knowledge, b)
attitude to and reported approach in practice, c) behaviours used, d)
barriers, e) previous training and future training interest. Responses
were analysed descriptively and open-ended questions synthesised
narratively. Results 372 physiotherapists completed the survey.
