Implementing the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy's core standards into physiotherapy
No full textPURPOSE: In 2000, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) updated its core standards for measuring the quality of the interaction between a patient and physiotherapist. Some organisational barriers exist however, in implementing these standards within an outpatient clinical setting. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to design and evaluate a patient-information leaflet for new patients referred to the department, advising them about the physiotherapy process and addressing some of the core standards.RELEVANCE: This work reflects the Government’s agenda for clinical governance, ‘creating an environment in which excellence in clinical care will flourish’ (Secretary of State for Health 1998). It also addresses local needs, informing patients about their physiotherapy service and the process of delivery of care. DECSRIPTION: The leaflet development was completed in 3 stages: 1) 50 patients were asked to identify what information they would like to know about physiotherapy, the department, their first visit, and their rights, for the purpose of developing a leaflet; 2) 100 consecutive patients discharged from the outpatient physiotherapy service were asked to participate in an anonymized postal audit evaluating their experience of the department, using the CSP’s standardized ‘Patient Feedback’ questionnaire; 3) a patient-information leaflet was developed using the responses from stage 1, the core standards and input from clinicians. This leaflet was piloted with 100 patients.OBSERVATIONS: The response rate for stage 1=74%. Patients most wanted directions to the department, information about their personal physiotherapist (such as their name and level of experience), duration of the appointment and likelihood of a successful outcome of treatment. In stage 2, the feedback from patients was generally positive, with 89% enjoying ‘coming for physiotherapy’ and 87% being ‘very satisfied’ with their care. However, 43% of patients did not recover as well as they had hoped and nearly 8% considered their physiotherapy to be ‘a waste of time’. In stage 3, the mean score for the leaflet on a scale of 0-10, where 0=‘of no benefit’ and 10=‘extremely helpful’ was 8.4. Work is currently underway to repeat the audit from stage 2 with 100 consecutive patients discharged from the department, who had received the leaflet prior to their first appointment. These findings will be compared to the findings from stage 2.CONCLUSIONS: A simple, patient-information leaflet, sent out with the appointment card before patients first attend an outpatient physiotherapy department, is proving popular with patients and can be used as part of a range of strategies to implement the core standards into clinical practice and improve patient care
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
