Abstract
Background and purpose: The Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy's (ANPT) 2021 Strategic Plan identified development of core competencies for neurologic physical therapy as a priority. The Curricular Competencies Task Force was appointed to establish competencies for entry-level neurologic physical therapist (PT) education to facilitate the delivery of current and consistent content across educational programs.
Summary of key points: A sequential exploratory process was used. First, the task force chairs, utilizing an established conceptual framework for competency-based education and a review of the broader literature, established competency domains to specifically apply to neurologic PT practice. Second, Nominal Group Technique (NGT), a structured method for small group discussion to reach consensus, was adopted. Nominal Group Technique meetings focused on developing specific competencies within each domain of neurologic PT practice by the full task force. After competencies were identified through the NGT process, the task force chairs reviewed and refined the competencies to ensure they represented distinct and specific knowledge, skill, and/or attitude within neurologic PT practice. The domains and competencies were then submitted to ANPT membership via survey for review. Member comments were qualitatively analyzed, with edits made to the competencies prior to submission to ANPT Board of Directors for approval.
Recommendations for entrylevel pt neurologic education: Seven essential domains were identified: participation, communication and collaboration, health promotion and wellness, movement science, assistive technology and equipment, evidence-based practice, and provider health and wellness. Essential competencies operationalize each domain. Competencies are not prescriptive but provide guidance, allowing educators to determine how to best incorporate into their curricula.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A427 ).
背景和目的:神经物理治疗学会(ANPT) 2021年战略计划将神经物理治疗核心能力的发展确定为优先事项。课程能力特别工作组的任务是建立入门级神经物理治疗师(PT)教育的能力，以促进跨教育项目当前和一致内容的传递。要点总结:采用顺序探索过程。首先，工作组主席利用基于能力的教育的既定概念框架和对更广泛文献的回顾，建立了专门适用于神经学PT实践的能力领域。第二，采用名义小组技术(Nominal Group Technique, NGT)，这是一种小组讨论达成共识的结构化方法。名义上的小组技术会议集中于发展神经学PT实践的每个领域的具体能力。在通过NGT过程确定胜任力后，工作组主席审查并改进胜任力，以确保它们在神经PT实践中代表独特和具体的知识、技能和/或态度。然后通过调查将领域和能力提交给ANPT成员进行审查。在提交ANPT董事会批准之前，对成员的意见进行了定性分析，并对能力进行了编辑。对入门级pt神经学教育的建议:确定了七个基本领域:参与，沟通和协作，健康促进和健康，运动科学，辅助技术和设备，循证实践，提供者健康和健康。基本能力使每个领域可操作。能力不是规定的，而是提供指导，使教育者能够确定如何最好地将其纳入他们的课程。视频摘要可获得作者的更多见解(参见视频，补充数字内容1，可在:http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A427)。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy (JNPT) is an indexed resource for dissemination of research-based evidence related to neurologic physical therapy intervention. High standards of quality are maintained through a rigorous, double-blinded, peer-review process and adherence to standards recommended by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. With an international editorial board made up of preeminent researchers and clinicians, JNPT publishes articles of global relevance for examination, evaluation, prognosis, intervention, and outcomes for individuals with movement deficits due to neurologic conditions. Through systematic reviews, research articles, case studies, and clinical perspectives, JNPT promotes the integration of evidence into theory, education, research, and practice of neurologic physical therapy, spanning the continuum from pathophysiology to societal participation.
