Abstract
Background: The central component of person-centred care is in having a therapeutic realtionship. Furthermore,
the empathy of the physiotherapist is one of the most important attributes in achieving a successful therapeutic
alliance.
Objective: The aim of the research was to determine the association between the constructs of empathy and
therapeutic alliance in Spanish physical therapists and the possible influence of socio-professional variables on
them.
Design: Cross-sectional research.
Methods: An electronic survey including the Working Alliance Inventory-Short Form, the Interpersonal Reactivity
Index and sociodemographic data with 473 Spanish physiotherapists. A descriptive, bivariate and simple lineal
regression analysis was carried out.
Results: Work experience has a positive influence on bonding and the agreement on objectives and tasks (0.04 <
B > 0.06; p < 0.01). The perspective taking dimensions and empathic concern positively influence the agreement
on achievement (0.14 < B > 0.19; p < 0.001). Personal distress inversely influences bonding and the agreement
on achievements and tasks (
