Effects of technology on physical therapy and nutrition therapy management of symptoms of eating disorders: a scoping review
No full textEating disorders are increasingly becoming a major issue in our society, a trend that continues to grow due to their widespread impact on people of all ages. This scoping review aims to map out currently available studies regarding the impact of technology in eating disorder management, such as physical therapy and nutrition therapy, to determine any gaps regarding the chosen topic. Physical Therapy has been a preferred approach for managing ED symptoms along with the conventional psychotherapy and pharmacological treatments. PT interventions help reduce or manage ED symptoms and can be helpful to improve their overall health. Results: Following the
first searching, second searching, and snowballing/ancestry methods of data extraction, a total of 23 research were included. Cross-sectional studies were the most common, However, their ability to establish the relationships between the interventions and the ED symptoms was limited. PT interventions were mainly utilized for monitoring general exercise using the patient’s heart rate and energy expenditure. On the other hand, nutrition therapy focused on calorie tracking using applications and WRSM. The review identified several gaps in the literature mainly focusing on technological integration for PT interventions, lacking data on the effects of electronically delivered nutrition therapy, and the need for further research on the relationship of app usage frequency and ED symptoms. In conclusion, further research should be developed to address these gaps and assess the efficacy of incorporating technology in managements for eating disorders
The lived experiences of physical therapy students in transitioning from full online to blended learning modality
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic prompted a global shift to online learning, disrupting traditional onsite education. As governments sought to restore normalcy, blended learning emerged as a solution, combining online and onsite instruction. This study examines the lived experiences of physical therapy students in transitioning from full online to blended learning modalities. Using purposive sampling, eight (8) participants were selected for a phenomenological study, each providing distinct insights through semi-structured interviews. Method triangulation, including focused group discussions, ensured validity and data saturation. The study identified five (5) main themes and fifteen (15) variants, encompassing what and how the participants experienced the phenomenon. Physical therapy students encounter challenges and opportunities during this transition, impacting their well-being and academic experience. Recognizing these effects enables educators to better support students through personalized strategies, community engagement, and holistic well-being initiatives. Recommendations are provided for educators, institutions, and future researchers to navigate this transition effectively, addressing limitations in sampling, bias, and time constraints. Future research should explore diverse perspectives and utilize alternative methodologies for a deeper understanding of student experiences. Utilizing available technologies and further exploring identified themes will enrich the literature on this topic
Caregivers’ experiences in pediatric PT telerehabilitation at DLSMHSI as basis for service delivery improvement
No full textTelerehabilitation services emerged before the COVID-19 pandemic, but only gained further attention during its time. Currently, it is utilized at De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute. However, since its inception, there are limited studies on what improvements could be made in its process. In this study, the researchers aimed to explore the experiences of caregivers of patients in the pediatric physical therapy telerehabilitation of DLSMHSI by delving deep into their experiences before, during, and after their telerehabilitation sessions. The findings of the study shall determine the areas needing improvement, making the experiences of the caregivers a basis for service delivery improvement. Moreover, a qualitative narrative study design was employed, wherein a validated semi-structured interview guide was utilized by a moderator to extract information from three caregivers who participated in four or more telerehabilitation sessions. From this, four themes common among the participants discussed the issues experienced, influential patient factors, demands of telerehabilitation, and positive
experiences in the process. The narratives revealed that telerehabilitation has certain areas in need of improvement. In conclusion, despite the efficacy of telerehabilitation in DLSMHSI, issues with caregiver preparation, intern’s instruction delivery, and clinical rotations commonly arise which significantly impacts caregivers’ experiences during telerehabilitation. Caregivers\u27 availability, their multiple roles, financial status, physical handling, and HEP scheduling also play a major role in their personal experiences. Improvements on the areas mentioned can be made which could enhance the experience of caregivers and patients in the future. Overall, the results of this study may be used as a basis in enhancing the current system of telerehabilitation to provide an improved and excellent service delivery to those in need
