Nicholas B Washmuth, Richard Stephens

PMID 35296368

WHAT IT FOUND

No original patient outcomes are reported.

This is a narrative review about swearing in physical therapy, so there is no finding here to act on.

What this paper is

This is a narrative review about swearing in physical therapy. It discusses prior evidence and proposes possible benefits and cautions, but it does not report original methods, participants, or outcomes, so there is no finding here to change your practice on.

The easy way to misread this

Do not read this as evidence that swearing improves patient outcomes. It is a narrative review, not an original study.
