Download or read book Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy written by Gina Musolino and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical reasoning is an essential non-negotiable element for all health professionals. The ability of the health professional to demonstrate professional competence, compassion, and accountability depend on a foundation of sound clinical reasoning. The clinical reasoning process needs to bring together knowledge, experience, and understanding of people, the environment, and organizations along with a strong moral compass in making sound decisions and taking necessary actions. While clinical reasoning and the role of mentors has been a focus of the continued growth and development of residency programs in physical therapy, there is a critical need to have a broader, in-depth look at how educators across academic and clinical settings intentionally facilitate the development of clinical reasoning skills across one’s career. Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy: Facilitation, Assessment, and Implementation fills this need by providing a comprehensive and in-depth focus on development of the patient-client management skills of clinical reasoning and clinical decision-making. It takes into account teaching and learning strategies, assessment, and technological applications across the continuum from novice to residents/fellows-in-training, along with academic and clinical faculty for both entry-level and specialist practice. Drs. Gina Maria Musolino and Gail Jensen have designed this comprehensive resource with contributions from professional colleagues. The text centers on life-long learning by encouraging the development of clinical reasoning abilities from professional education through residency education. The aim and scope of the text is directed for physical therapy education, to enhance clinical reasoning and clinical decision-making for developing professionals and post-professionals in both clinical and academic realms, and for the development of clinical and academic faculty. Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy uniquely offers both evidence-based approaches and pragmatic consultation from award-winning authors with direct practice experiences developing and implementing clinical reasoning/clinical decision-making in practice applications for teaching students, residents, patients, and clinical/academic faculty in classrooms, clinics, and through simulation and telehealth. Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy is the first of its kind to address this foundational element for practice that is key for real-world practice and continuing competence as a health care professional. Physical therapy and physical therapist assistant students, faculty, and clinicians will find this to be an invaluable resource to enhance their clinical reasoning and decision making abilities.

Book excerpt: This dissertation study examined how physical therapist (PT) students from two entry-level physical therapist educational programs characterized practice and engaged in clinical reasoning. The theoretical frame for this study identified four capacities, a well-organized knowledge base, the ability to effectively interact with patients, the ability to manage decision making in a context of uncertainty, and a patient-centered, biopsychosocial orientation to practice, required for effective clinical reasoning. This study addressed four primary research questions: How do PT students characterize physical therapy practice? During an encounter with a patient, what clinical decisions do PT students make, and what clinical reasoning strategies underlie their decisions? What is the relationship between PT students' characterizations of practice and their clinical decisions? Do PT students' clinical decisions and reasoning strategies vary across educational programs? This qualitative study drew on PT students' responses to interview questions concerning their conceptualizations of practice and PT students' performance on and explanations of a standardized patient case. Although all students were at the same stage of their education, some characterized physical therapy with a focus on patient education and emotional support consistent with expert practice, while others described a focus on technical and biomechanical issues more characteristic of novice practice. Students' abilities to organize their knowledge impacted their clinical decision-making. Further, students' actions during the clinical encounter ranged from typical novice practice focused on diagnosing the pathology to more advanced practice focused on assessing and addressing the patient's emotional and behavioral needs. The problems students framed and decisions they made during the patient encounter paralleled their characterizations of practice. Each of the four capacities played a crucial role in their clinical reasoning. The differences in the perspectives and clinical reasoning of the students from the two programs suggest that program level factors impacted their development of clinical reasoning. The findings from this study support a model of clinical reasoning that demonstrates the influence of students' perspectives on practice on their use of content specific reasoning and interactional skills for clinical reasoning. Further, this study has highlighted the importance of reflection both in- and on-action for students' clinical decision-making and professional development.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, there is little understanding of the clinical decision-making process in physical therapy. This grounded-theory study examined both the thinking processes that physical therapists go through in making day-to-day clinical decisions and the sources of information they rely on to guide their decisions. The research consisted of semi-structured, in-depth interviews with twelve neurological physical therapists in a broad range of practice settings. Results show that physical therapists draw on both formal and informal information sources. Results also show that physical therapists demonstrate a strong preference for informal information sources. Through an analysis of the results, the investigation provides an explanation of why informal information sources tend to be preferred. As well, the investigation explores the way therapists sort through the different kinds of information available to them. This inquiry also resulted in the improvement of an existing model of physical therapy practice within the context of evidence-based practice.
