Medical Education 2012 Context in simulated learning environments (SLEs) has grown rapidly across health care professions, yet no substantive randomised controlled trial (RCT) investigated whether SLEs can, part, substitute for traditional clinical education. Methods Participants were physiotherapy students (RCT 1, n = 192; RCT 2, 178) from six Australian universities undertaking education an ambulatory setting with patients musculoskeletal disorders. A programme was developed as a replica...
Simulated learning environments (SLEs) are used worldwide in health professional education, including physiotherapy, to train certain attributes and skills. To date, no randomized controlled trial (RCT) has evaluated whether education SLEs can partly replace time the clinical environment for physiotherapy cardiorespiratory practice.Two independent single-blind multi-institutional RCTs were conducted parallel using a noninferiority design. Participants volunteer students (RCT 1, n = 176; RCT...
Much has been written about why students engage in academic studies at university, with less attention given to the concept of disengagement. Understanding risks and factors associated student disengagement from learning provides opportunities for targeted remediation. The aims this review were 1) explore how conceptualised, 2) identify 3) measureable indicators previous literature. A systematic search was conducted across relevant databases key websites. Reference lists included papers...
Nonadherence--not taking pharmacologic or nonpharmacologic treatments according to agreed recommendations from a health care provider--is common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Nonadherence maintenance medications, smoking cessation, maintaining regular physical activity and exercise, starting staying rehabilitation continuing on the postrehabilitation exercise/activity prescription, successfully following self-management directions results adverse outcomes across...
To investigate if motivational interviewing improved physical activity, self-efficacy, quality of life, mobility and mental health in people living the community after hip fracture.Single-blind randomized controlled trial.Community.A total 30 adults fracture who had been discharged from rehabilitation to independent allocated a control group ( n = 14) or an intervention 16).All participants received usual care. The also eight weekly sessions as additional input, with having no matching...
Grit, resilience and a growth mindset are personal traits conducive to optimal learning clinical readiness. These important consider with regards whether student thrives or struggles in challenging situations. Research medical, nursing pharmacy students demonstrates correlations of these positive well-being academic success. No research has investigated the resilience, grit type together health professional explore they related, none have focused on physiotherapy students.Cross-sectional...
Competent managers are essential to the productivity of organisations and sustainability health systems. Effective workforce development strategies sensitive current competency needs service (HSMs) required. To conduct a 360° assessment competence Australian HSMs identify managerial levels, training needs. Assessment 93 middle-level from two public hospitals (n = 25) five community services (CHS) 68), using Managerial Competency Partnership (MCAP) framework tool, conducted between 2012 2014...
The aim of this study was to determine whether a short-term online clinical mentoring program more effective than asynchronous lectures at improving physical therapists' (PT) practice and their patients' outcomes. In randomized controlled trial, 27 PTs were with allocation concealment 6 h sessions (experimental group) or 6-h (control group). primary patient outcome function, assessed using the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), evaluated baseline (initial consultation) 4-week...
Abstract Background and objective Pulmonary rehabilitation is beneficial for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) typically includes exercise disease‐specific education components. However, the benefits directly attributable to component remain unclear. This trial sought determine whether addition of training resulted in greater improvements health outcomes than where has been omitted. Methods A randomized allocation concealment, assessor blinded group...
In Brief PURPOSE: To determine whether an early rehabilitation program was safe and feasible for patients during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: this phase 1 randomized controlled trial, with COPD admitted to the hospital were randomly allocated a low-intensity exercise group, moderate- high-intensity or control who received routine physical therapy. addition therapy, in group had participate program. The consisted twice-daily aerobic resistance...
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between noncognitive traits (grit, resilience, and mindset-type), academic success, clinical performance in physical therapist students. Methods This cross-sectional using self-administered surveys undertaken with final-year students enrolled 4 Australian universities. Participants completed validated questionnaires measuring grit, mindset type. Academic transcripts were obtained quantify success performance. A...
Introduction Simulated patients (SPs) are individuals who have learned to realistically portray patient roles in health professional education. Program recommendations increasing for simulation programs, and as key stakeholders, SPs' perspectives seem underrepresented. The aim of the study was explore experiences, perspectives, practices SPs gain insights on topics importance inform program recommendations. Methods An interpretivist research paradigm qualitative design were adopted. Eighteen...
