Potential uses of this instrument include its use as a pre- and post-test assessment of instruction intended to improve communication skills and/or as another criteria for admission into healthcare and human service education programs. Results of this study indicate that the instrument has value in assessing communication skills.
Perceptions Of Feedback Among Undergraduate And Postgraduate Students Of Four Health Science Disciplines, Jenny Strong, Clair Hughes, Wayne Wilson, Wendy Arnott, Rosemary Isles, Anne Bennison
Perceptions Of Feedback Among Undergraduate And Postgraduate Students Of Four Health Science Disciplines, Jenny Strong, Clair Hughes, Wayne Wilson, Wendy Arnott, Rosemary Isles, Anne Bennison
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Feedback is an important support for student learning. Yet data suggests that some students are often under-whelmed with the feedback they receive. Two factors potentially influencing this perception are entry level and type of health science program. To investigate this further, 492 undergraduate and postgraduate students from four health science disciplines (occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology and audiology) at a large Australian university were asked to complete a survey on the feedback that they had received during their studies. Students reported that they valued feedback with 93% seriously engaging with their feedback and 88% considering that feedback assisted their learning. …
Evidence-Based Practice (Ebp) In Rehabilitative Physiotherapy, Chris Cimdi
Evidence-Based Practice (Ebp) In Rehabilitative Physiotherapy, Chris Cimdi
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is considered to be an essential component of clinical service delivery in healthcare. Australian physiotherapists have access to a wide range of resources to support the implementation of EBP. However, research indicates variability in how physiotherapists apply EBP with a range of factors affecting the successful implementation of EBP into everyday clinical practice. Using survey methodology, this study examined whether participation in an EBP professional development workshop is an effective strategy to enhance knowledge, attitudes and behaviours associated with EBP of physiotherapists working in a rehabilitation setting. Results revealed that nearly one third of participants rated their …

Uk And Us Physician Assistant Student Performance On An International Test Of Core Biomedical Science Knowledge, Scott Arbet, Jimmy Parle, Janet J. Lathrop
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Physician assistants (PAs) have provided cost effective, high quality care in the United States for more than 40 years. There is a growing international interest in utilizing PAs for a variety of pressing health care needs. This pilot study compared the performance of PA students trained in the United States to those trained in the United Kingdom on a core biomedical science knowledge examination using multiple choice questions developed by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA). The study found that despite differing educational models and health systems, the students performed similarly. While rigorous statistical analyses were not …

A Pilot Study Comparison Of Sensory Integration Treatment And Integrated Preschool Activities For Children With Autism, Sandra Barker Dunbar, Jennifer Carr-Hertel, Helene Ann Lieberman, Belinda Perez, Kristi Ricks
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
This exploratory pilot study was conducted to evaluate outcome differences between traditional individualized sensory integration treatment and integrated sensorimotor activities for preschool children with autism spectrum disorders. Pre- and post test measures of play were evaluated for two small groups of children who met criteria for exhibiting sensory processing issues. Results indicated positive differences in play behavior for both groups of children. Overall, further research is indicated to better understand the impact of various treatment approaches on participation in preschool occupations.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation In The Early Intervention Population: A Series Of Five Case Studies, Kelly L. Rice
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
The use of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) to improve swallowing function in the Early Intervention home-based population with pharyngeal phase dysphagia is described using a case series design. Five children had Modified Barium Swallow studies (MBSS) completed followed by a course of swallowing therapy. The children had NMES administered home-based for 60-minute sessions. The number of treatment sessions ranged from 11 to 63, and the MBSS was repeated at the end of therapy. All five children improved functional swallowing as documented by the attending radiologist This case series design provides data that may support the use of NMES in the …

The Implementation Of Evidence To Improve Falls Prevention: Lessons From A Case Study In Aged Care, Gisela M. Van Kessel
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
This paper reports on a study investigating the construction of falls prevention evidence within an aged care organization. It describes how the structure and culture of an aged care organization influences the construction of falls prevention evidence by staff. Method: An instrumental single case study design grounded in an interpretive, constructivist paradigm drew on data collected in 2010 from a document review, observations, and informal interviews with nursing and allied health staff. An iterative analysis used a model of diffusion determinants. Results: The aged care organization which served as the case for this study linked its cultural strengths of vision, …

A Pilot Study Of The Evidence Based Practice Training Program For Filipino Physiotherapists: Emerging Evidence On Outcomes And Acceptability, Janine Margarita R. Dizon, Karen Grimmer-Somers, Saravana Kumar
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Background: The use of evidence to guide clinical practice has been challenging for health professionals across the globe. Issues of implementing the evidence become even more challenging among health professionals in developing countries because of cultural and contextual issues which compound the existing implementation barriers reported in the literature. An evidence based practice (EBP) training was developed for physiotherapists in a developing country (the Philippines) based on the literature and preliminary exploratory studies. The training program aimed to address issues of barriers to EBP and the nature of practice in a developing country. This study reports the process and findings …

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
The following case presentation is of a 75-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation, secondary to pneumonia, and a history of a congenital left lung abnormality with non-development. Since the first report by de Pozzis in 1673, more than 200 cases of lung abnormalities with non-development have been recorded.1,2 The first proposed classification of underdevelopment of the lung was introduced by Schneider in 1912: Class I Agenesis - total absence of bronchus and lung, Class II Aplasia - rudimentary bronchus without lung tissue, and Class III Hypoplasia - bronchial hypoplasia and variable …

Students new to research methods may fail to acknowledge that research findings are open to interpretation. They may see the sole purpose of research as proving or disproving a hypothesis. Purpose: The study aims to determine whether an exercise asking research methods students to compare studies using preset evaluation criteria helps those students to better grasp the intricacies of research. The goal of the exercise is to better inform future and current practitioners. Methods:Students in a multidisciplinary health sciences graduate program were asked to compare the methods and findings of two large-scale research studies dealing with a particular topic, the …
