Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this research was to structure and analyze the experience of physiotherapists practicing in their 3rd year of the terminal stage physiotherapy by qualitative research. [Subjects] The subjects were two physiotherapists practicing in their 3rd year. [Methods] We structured a terminal stage physiotherapy experience model using M-GTA based on SCQRM using the language data obtained by interview. [Results] This experience model showed conflicts between the physiotherapists' desire to do something and relations with the patient, and the emotional highs and lows experienced through them cause of both the low motivation and the feeling of powerlessness. [Conclusion] We revealed a one generation process of a sense of powerlessness and low motivation in the terminal physiotherapy by a structure model.
