{"title":"Integration of geriatric content in entry-level physical therapy education in the Philippines: A pilot study","authors":"Charlemaine Deane A. Perez","doi":"10.46409/002.zjue7851","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46409/002.zjue7851","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Physical therapy (PT) practice is expected to dynamically respond to the growing needs of older adults. Currently, there is paucity in meeting the demands of the aging Filipino population that may be linked to the status of undergraduate PT education. To date, there are no known systematically analyzed data that explores the breadth of geriatric content in the local BSPT programs. This study aimed to describe the integration of geriatric-related content in the pre-clinical and clinical entry-level PT curricula. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional research design using survey instrumentation was conducted among heads and PT educators in higher educational institutions and healthcare institutions located in the National Capital Region, Philippines from December 2015 to March 2016. Results: Fifty-two responses from a total of 87 physical therapists were included in data analysis after screening. Many of the participants (>50%) determined that pre-clinical and clinical geriatric-related PT competencies were always (81-100% of the time) and often (61-80% of the time) taught. Among pre-clinical and clinical competencies, clinical attitudinal skills were the most taught. Clinical practical skills, pre-clinical practical skills, and pre-clinical knowledge competencies were never taught (0-20% of the time). Majority of the participants (93.3%) perceive the importance of integrating geriatric PT-related content in the curriculum but, only 65.8% perceive that the integration is sufficient. Discussion: The integration of geriatric-focused content on psychosocial changes with aging, multifactorial conditions, airway clearance techniques, use of best available evidence, interprofessional collaboration, and on clinical training is insufficient despite its importance. The incongruity may be influenced by lack of intentional exposure and role-modeling to students. The study findings should be interpreted with caution because of low sample size. Further research is recommended to understand the depth of integration of geriatric-related content in entry-level PT programs in the Philippines.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125727785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This was a mixed-methods study that utilized a research and development design. A validated questionnaire on the experience and perceptions of DRRM was administered to 20 selected physical therapists. A validated interview guide was administered to 10 local disaster control office head and members. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data. Thematic analysis was used to synthesize and examine the qualitative data. Results: Physical therapists were found to have minimal exposure to disaster scenarios due to lack of training and experiences in disaster response. However, the physical therapists perceive that they are prepared to participate in DRRM and should be included. The study also revealed that physical therapists are not part of the local disaster management team because of limited awareness of leaders and members of the disaster control office on the roles of physical therapists in disaster management.

Participating centers were allocated through the fishbowl method for six weeks to the Controlled Group (n = 8) and Experimental Group (n = 6). The pre-posttest outcomes of the interventions were assessed, and well-being was quantified using the Short Form-36 (SF-36).\u0000Results: Fourteen participants with mean age, 64.64 years old + 4.57 SD (nine female and five male participants) were included in the study. The results showed an improvement in the SF-36 subsets of Physical Functioning, Energy/Fatigue, and Emotional Well-being (p <0.01) of older adults who used exergaming while those under the control group experienced an improvement in the Physical Functioning, Energy/Fatigue, Emotional Well-being, and General Health subsets (p<0.01). However, comparison of outcomes from baseline until after four-week assessment between groups revealed no significant difference (p >0.05)\u0000Conclusion and Implications: Exergaming suggests no improvement in the general well-being as measured by SF-36. However, exergaming effectively improved the subsets of older adults' physical, emotional, and psychological well-being in institutionalized centers. Exergaming also has the same effect as physical/aerobic exercises in older adults living in institutionalized centers. This pilot study serves as a basis for future implementation of a fully powered randomized controlled trial design assessing improvements and long-term effects.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116675530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The developed, validated, and pilot-tested questionnaire was administered to 212 students and 114 employees during the second semester of 2020-2021. Descriptive statistics and T-test were used for analyses using p<0.05 as the significance level. \u0000Results: Results showed that most students have mild severity of anxiety and depression while employees have none to minimal. Cultural factors like the adverse working environment, social inequalities and exclusion, and adverse media influences were identified as moderate risk factors in anxiety and depression. Moreover, there were significant differences in the prevalence of anxiety and depression between students and employees and between teaching and non-teaching employees. There were higher self-reported anxiety and depression among students than employees and among teaching employees than non-teaching employees.\u0000Conclusion and Implications: With a higher prevalence of anxiety and depression among students, higher education institutions must strengthen their student welfare services. Also, employees' mental health needs must be considered by providing services to alleviate their anxiety and depression. A holistic and comprehensive policy on mental health promotion should be implemented to improve the mental health status of students and employees.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122679298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inclusion criteria included applications that were created within the last five years, are smartphone-based, and operate on either the Android OS or iOS. The study excluded applications that target other medical conditions, and applications that are solely for reference and clinicians’ use. Selected applications were evaluated through the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) and underwent clinical guidelines compliance analysis. \u0000Results: A total of 1607 applications were filtered, leaving 266 applications. Twelve applications complied with the criteria, but due to inaccessibility, only four (4) were included in the study. The FITZY+ obtained the highest MARS average (4.06). Functionality domain had the highest score of more than half (3/4, 75%) of the applications. All the applications (4/4, 100%) were adherent to the treatment for hypertension in reference to the clinical guidelines.\u0000Conclusion and Implications: Mobile health applications are promising tools, capable of minimizing the occurrence and degree of hypertension. However, the applications for self-management of hypertension are limited and of substandard quality due to inadequate information and research. Although applications satisfy some clinical guidelines, physical therapists should advise their patients not to rely solely on them as they are not the most optimal form of medical care.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131000126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
