Abstract

Introduction: Delivering occupational therapy services in the acute care setting requires certain skills and abilities to ensure safety and effectiveness among a variety of medically complex populations. Presently, no standardized tool exists to assess OT students' self-efficacy in this context. In this study, we developed the Occupational Therapy Acute Care Self-Efficacy Scale (OTACSES) to assess OT student self-efficacy in acute care contexts and tested its test-retest reliability and precision in first-year OT students. Materials and Methods: Researchers developed the scale items based on literature, expert interviews, and a student population. The OTACSES was then administered to 47 OT students to assess the internal consistency of "abilities" and "knowledge" subscales. Following the process of item reduction, the scale was readministered a week later after a no "intervention" control period. Student test and retest data were analyzed to assess reliability and precision. Results: The finalized knowledge and abilities subscales demonstrated excellent internal consistency. Further, the total and subscale scores demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability and acceptable precision. Finally, changes of five, three, and seven points in the abilities, knowledge, and total scores, respectively, can be assumed to be "meaningful." Discussion: The OTACSES is a reliable and precise tool for measuring students' self-efficacy in the acute care setting. We present preliminary data on clinically meaningful change. Further research focusing on the tool as an outcome measure of the efficacy of acute care-relevant OT education and its appropriateness for use among practitioners is needed.

职业治疗急症护理自我效能量表(OTACSES):发展、重测信度与精密度。
简介:在急症护理环境中提供职业治疗服务需要一定的技能和能力,以确保各种医学复杂人群的安全性和有效性。目前,还没有标准化的工具来评估OT学生在这方面的自我效能感。在本研究中,我们开发了职业治疗急性护理自我效能量表(OTACSES)来评估急诊护理情境下职业治疗学生的自我效能,并在一年级职业治疗学生中测试其重测信度和精度。材料和方法:研究人员根据文献、专家访谈和学生群体开发了量表项目。然后对47名OT学生实施OTACSES,以评估“能力”和“知识”分量表的内部一致性。在项目减少的过程中,在没有“干预”的控制期后一周重新使用量表。分析学生测试和重测数据以评估可靠性和准确性。结果:定稿的知识和能力量表具有良好的内部一致性。此外,总量表和分量表得分表现出良好的重测信度和可接受的精度。最后,在能力、知识和总分上分别变化5分、3分和7分,可以认为是“有意义的”。讨论:OTACSES是一个可靠和精确的工具来测量学生的自我效能感在急症护理设置。我们提出了临床意义改变的初步数据。需要进一步研究该工具作为急性护理相关OT教育效果的结果衡量标准及其在从业人员中使用的适宜性。

期刊介绍: Occupational Therapy International is a peer-reviewed journal, publishing manuscripts that reflect the practice of occupational therapy throughout the world. Research studies or original concept papers are considered for publication. Priority for publication will be given to research studies that provide recommendations for evidence-based practice and demonstrate the effectiveness of a specific treatment method. Single subject case studies evaluating treatment effectiveness are also encouraged. Other topics that are appropriate for the journal include reliability and validity of clinical instruments, assistive technology, community rehabilitation, cultural comparisons, health promotion and wellness.
