Communication Apprehension And Interpersonal Skills In Physical Therapy Students : A Comparative Study Of Problem-Based Learning And Traditional Curricula, Beverly D. Fein

All PTHMS Faculty Publications

Physical Therapy education has been challenged to prepare students to meet the increasing demands upon and changing needs of physical therapy practice in the evolving health delivery system. Today's practitioner needs strong interpersonal and collaborative skills for effective communication with patients, families, third party payers, community and other members of the health care team. The characteristics of problem-based learning (PBL) curricula appeared to offer greater potential for students to develop communication skills as compared to traditional curricula. Therefore, this study used available measures of communication apprehension and clinical performance of communication related behaviors to compare students educated in PBL curricula …

The Influence Of Occupational Therapists' Worldview On Clinical Reasoning And Action: A Qualitative Study, Matthew P. Mekkes Jan 2003

The Influence Of Occupational Therapists' Worldview On Clinical Reasoning And Action: A Qualitative Study, Matthew P. Mekkes

Masters Theses

This qualitative study examines the influence of occupational therapists’ worldview on clinical reasoning and action. Recent clinical reasoning research has determined that this complex and multi-faceted process is more than applied theory. Some scholars in occupational therapy have identified intrapersonal factors as influencing clinical reasoning. However, the nature and role of the intrapersonal factors in clinical reasoning remains unclear. To increase understanding of this phenomenon, semi-structured interviews were conducted with expert therapists. Results suggest that a therapist’s worldview, specifically related to beliefs about human nature does affect the way they envision and enact the occupational therapy process. This influence is …

Parent Perceptions Of Occupational Therapy In Early Childhood Special Education Programs Following Transition From Early Intervention Programs, Anita M. Wyrick

Theses and Dissertations

A qualitative approach was used to explore the perspectives of seven parents of preschool age children with disabilities in Virginia regarding occupational therapy and the transition from early intervention (EI) to early childhood special education (ECSE). Open-ended interviews were used to collect data from each family participant and were presented as individual case reports. A cross-case analysis revealed six common categories and four overarching themes. Results indicated that the transition was viewed positively when parents saw benefits of the change and when they were oriented toward the future. Parents viewed the EI and ECSE systems as not sharing their same …

Development And Validation Of A Professional Behavior Assessment., Kristie Koenig, Caryn Johnson, Cathleen K Morano, Joseph P Ducette

Department of Occupational Therapy Faculty Papers

Allied health students must quickly socialize into a professional role as they transition from classroom to clinic. In addition to skill development, students must exhibit a host of professional behaviors that facilitate successful interaction with patients, families, and colleagues. There is a need for a valid, reliable assessment of professional behaviors that contribute to clinical competence. This study reports on the development and validation of a professional behavior assessment for occupational therapy students on a part-time clinical rotation (Level I). The Philadelphia Region Fieldwork Consortium (PRFC) Level I Student Evaluation was developed from an initial survey (n = 75) to …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The purpose of the study was to investigate the interaction between pain, pain behavior, anxiety, and muscle tension during electrodiagnosis, and to examine the anxiolytic and pain-relieving effects of traditional Chinese music. Two measuring tools, including electrodiagnosis pain behavior checklist (EPBC) and electromyography muscle tension scale (EMTS) were developed to objectively assess the subject's pain and muscle tension, respectively. Sixty-one patients were included in this study and were randomly divided into background music group and control group. EPBC and EMTS were concurrently measured during electrodiagnosis, which consisted of nerve conduction velocity and electromyography (EMG) studies. Linear analog anxiety scale (LAAS) …

Reliability And Peak Pressure Measurement At Metatarsal Heads With High Resolution System, Jiunn-Homg Kang, Jin-Shin Lai, Wei-Li Hsi

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The purpose of the study was to measure the peak pressure under the metatarsal heads (MTH) of young men and women in walking with high resolution pressure system and to determine their reliability. The peak pressure of sixteen health men and women, aged from twenty-one to thirty-five years-old, were measured at the first, second and third metatarsal head by high resolution pressure system for ten repetitions using first-step method. Peak pressure at the second MTH (68.2±43.9 N/cm2 for women, 52.6±21.1 N/cm2 for men) was significantly higher than the first MTH (28.4±13.8 N/cm2 for women, 35.5±18.2 N/cm2 for men) and third …


Spinal Cord Infarction: Report Of Two Cases, Nien-Chin Hsiao, Chung-Lan Kao, Rai-Chi Chan Dec 2002

Spinal Cord Infarction: Report Of Two Cases, Nien-Chin Hsiao, Chung-Lan Kao, Rai-Chi Chan

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Spinal cord infarction is a rare disease. It is even more uncommon that spinal cord infarction occurs in a patient without any cardiovascular disease. Anterior spinal artery syndrome is much more common than the posterior spinal artery syndrome due to the difference in collateral supply. We present two patients with spinal cord infarction. In both patients, the clinical picture was stereotyped: sudden onset of weakness of limbs, sensory loss below the level of infarction and sphincter dysfunction. Treatment for the two patients was supportive and they had a good recovery over a period of weeks.


Progressive Ischemic Myelopathy Due To Painless Aortic Dissection: A Casereport, Hung-Chang Chueh, Shu-Huan Lin, Li-Sheng Huang Dec 2002

Progressive Ischemic Myelopathy Due To Painless Aortic Dissection: A Casereport, Hung-Chang Chueh, Shu-Huan Lin, Li-Sheng Huang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The clinical appearance of aortic dissection is characterized by the sudden, acute chest or abdominal pain, accompanied by coldness in the limbs and sweating-like symptoms of shock. Absent pulse or asymmetric pulse was observed in some patients. If the feeding arteries of the specific organs are located in the false lumen, this may lead to sudden loss of blood supply to the tissue e.g. spinal cord, resulting in cord damage. In the previous reports, approximately 20% of the individuals with aortic dissection might have neurological deficit resulting from insufficiency of blood supply. Most of the patients had suffered from severe …
