Book Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy

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 Critical Thinking Skills in Allied Health Students

Download or read book Critical Thinking Skills in Allied Health Students written by Marcia Yvette Sharp and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the critical thinking skills of allied health students(AHS) at a southeastern university. A survey methodology was utilizted to investigate the critical thinking skills of AHS in cytotechnology, dental hygiene, health informatics and information management, and medical technology disciplines. The Health Sciences Reasoning Test (HSRT) was the survey instrument used to measure students' critical thinking skill level. The survey was administered to 57 graduating seniors in the College of Allied Health Sciences class of 2011. Five research questions guided the study: 1. What is the critical thinking skill level of allied health students at a southeastern university (strong, moderate, or weak)? 2. Are there differences in critical thinking skills based on program of allied health students? 3. Are there differences in critical thinking skills based on gender of allied health students? 4. Are there differences in critical thinking skills between programs taught at different academic levels (baccalaureate, entry-level masters, and masters)? 5. What is the impact of academic level, age, gender, grade point average and program on critical thinking skills of allied health students? Results indicated that 64.9% of the participants in the study had weak critical thinking skills, 31.6% of the participants had moderate critical thinking skills and 3.5% of the participants had strong critical thinking skills. Additionally, an independent t-test indicated that male participants scored higher on the HSRT than females. ANOVA analysis indicated differences in critical thinking based on academic level. Bachelor participants' critical thinking skills were lower than master's and entry-level master's participants. Surprisingly, entry-level master's students scored higher than master's level students. Finally, multiple regression results indicated that 31.7% of the variance in total critical thinking skills can be explained by gender, age, program, GPA, and academic level. One important contribution of this research is that it adds to the body of literature surrounding critical thinking skills of allied health students. This study is also the first study to investigate multiple allied health disciplines at a single time. The study provides new information to deans, administrators, and educators that may be useful when evaluating critical thinking skills of allied health students. .
