About

This project uses self-practicing videos feedback to learn to improve the skill performance of physiotherapy interns. For traditional physiotherapy intern courses, teachers will conduct core courses and demonstrate teaching, but students are less familiar with the application of skills, even if adding practice course. The learning outcomes of the course are still not good in skill performance. By recording the self-practicing videos, the teacher uses observation and feedback to let the physiotherapy interns know whether the posture of the individual case, the fixed position of the limbs are appropriate, the resistance given and whether the verbal instruction is correct, and based on the evaluation outcomes to observe the students' learning status and clinical thinking ability can improve the skill performance and learning satisfaction.

Full description

Methods:

A parallel-group design. Ninety physiotherapy interns from a medical institution were enrolled as participants, with practice and videos feedback groups each comprising 45 participants. Two groups received traditional core course. The practice group received an additional 20 minutes of practice course. However, the videos feedback group received an additional 20 minutes of recording the self-practicing videos, the teacher uses observation and feedback learning of evaluation skills to improve the performance of physical therapy interns.The Direct Observation of Procedural Skills, Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise, Objective structured clinical examination, and satisfaction questionnaire were used in a pretest, posttest and the follow-up test.The inclusion criteria was being older than 20 years.Students were excluded if they could not complete the questionnaire.

Enrollment: 90 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20 to 65 years old

90 participants in 2 patient groups

Practice Group

Active Comparator group

Description:

Participants in this group engage in the traditional core course, followed by a 20-minute practical session where they pair up for mutual hands-on practice. The assessment of upper limb soft tissue operations takes approximately 4 minutes per session, allowing for approximately 5 practice sessions.

Other: Practice Group

Video Feedback Group

Experimental group

Description:

Participants receive the traditional core course along with a 20-minute video feedback session. Initially, a therapist records students' assessment techniques in action, capturing the dynamic process on video. The recorded video is then played on a screen for both the course teacher and students to watch together. Participants can annotate specific actions during the viewing, and the course teacher facilitates a reflective discussion where participants observe and identify any issues or correct actions as expected. The teacher provides feedback on areas of improvement in the action process for further practice. The self-viewing of the recorded video serves as a valuable tool for enhancing the skill performance of physical therapy interns.
