No full textEffects of clinical exposure on the clinical reasoning skills of senior PT interns in selected rehabilitation centers
No full textClinical reasoning is a fundamental skill in physical therapy (PT), where it enables therapists to practice pattern recognition skills and produce effective treatment decisions. This skill is the cornerstone of effective physical therapy practice that facilitates practitioners to make informed judgements and deliver optimal patient care. Hence, the purpose of this study is to examine the effects of clinical reasoning skills among PT interns which may provide a baseline data for the administrators, educators, and future researchers in assessing the quality of programs, mentorship, and its subsequent effect on clinical practice. This study utilized a cohort study design to examine the clinical reasoning skills of BSPT interns in the institution before and after clinical exposure of physical therapy interns in the selected rehabilitation centers using a validated, self-made questionnaire based on the HOAC II algorithm, that is widely used to cultivate clinical reasoning through its systematic approach in patient management in its data collection and reassessment phase to evaluate their performances in each subphase. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the clinical reasoning skills of BSPT interns after two months of clinical exposure in the selected rehabilitation centers. Notably, “Planning Intervention” under data collection phase achieved the highest mean of 4.17, while “Reassessment of Anticipated Problems” recorded the highest mean of 3.93 within the reassessment phase. Furthermore, the data collection phase consistently had the highest mean scores in both the pre-test and post-test. These findings highlight the critical role of clinical exposure in enhancing the clinical reasoning skills of BSPT interns, emphasizing the importance of integrating experiential learning opportunities in physical therapy education
The relationship of demographics and work-related factors on the perceived level of burnout among apparently healthy physical therapists in Dasmariñas, Cavite
No full textGlobally, burnout still physically and mentally affects physical therapists; however, studies about it in the Philippine setting remain limited. Hence, this quantitative study aimed to determine the relationship of demographics and work-related profile on the perceived level of burnout among apparently healthy physical therapists in Dasmariñas, Cavite. Utilizing a descriptive correlational research design, convenient sampling was done to invite participants for the pilot study and implementation via onsite and online recruitment, while the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) and a self-made questionnaire were used to gather data. Results were analyzed using frequency distribution and measures of central tendency, whereas relationships were analyzed using Spearman’s Rho and Cramer’s V. A total of 54 (20.1%) out of 268 physical therapists responded who are mostly 25-29 years old, female, have a bachelor’s degree, single, hospital-based only, have 1-3 contact hours and 8-12 working hours, and with 6-9 years of experience. Collectively, Age (r = .648), Working Hours (r = .345), Years of Experience (r = .421), and Practice Setting (r = .284) were significantly associated with personal burnout; meanwhile, Age (r = .034) and Years of Experience (r = .053) were significantly associated with work-related burnout; lastly, Years of Experience (r = .556) was significantly associated with client-related burnout (p = .05). Overall, the apparently healthy physical therapists in Dasmariñas, Cavite, exhibited a low level (mean = 43.63) of burnout based on their low levels of personal, work-related, and client-related burnout. Findings suggest that age, working hours, years of experience, and practice setting may influence their level of burnout
