The purpose of this study was to determine any debt management education provided during physical therapy education, overall satisfaction with this education, awareness of student debt/income ratios, knowledge of available financial resources, and if debt management strategies were implemented.Methods: Physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) from 8 states who graduated between 2011-2021 were surveyed about their experience with debt management education.Results: 82.4% of respondents did not receive debt management education. Of these respondents, 84.8% thought it would have been helpful. When education occurred, it typically was late in the program with low satisfaction. Satisfied respondents had lower program and total student loan debt. Loan amounts were not what was expected for 48.8% of respondents, while 72% were unaware of debt/income ratios. 39.6% of respondents who received education implemented learned strategies.Conclusion: Prevalence of debt management education within programs was low with decreased respondent awareness of debt/income ratios and available resources. Based on the results of our survey, programs should provide education throughout the curriculum, including increasing student awareness of resources to reduce student loan debt.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 1","pages":"e31-e39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558198","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}

{"title":"Cognitive and Affective Empathy of Doctor of Physical Therapy Students: A Modified Cross-Sectional Study.","authors":"Bruce W Newton, Michelle D Green, Zachary T Vaskalis","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"This study was performed to determine how cognitive and affective empathy changes as doctor of physical therapy (DPT) students go through training. Cognitive empathy was measured using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy, and affective empathy was measured using the Balanced Emotional Empathy Scale. Each survey instrument was given at the start and end of each of the 3 academic years. The cohorts consisted of first-, second-, and third-year DPT students. Cognitive empathy scores had a non-significant increase for each cohort, but the steady rise in cognitive empathy scores for each cohort suggested the students are becoming more comfortable communicating with patients to form an empathic bond of trust. Affective empathy scores significantly increased only for first-year students and indicate the students are more aware of their initial vicarious reaction to patients. Affective empathy scores stabilized for cohorts two and three with no significant changes. There needs to be an awareness about the possibility of future burnout associated with some students having too much affective empathy. DPT students with affective empathy scores ≥ 2.0 SD above the population norm need to be taught to partially blunt their affective response to not let their own internal emotional state decrease their ability to effectively treat the patient.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 1","pages":"e21-e29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558196","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}

We analyzed Medicaid reimbursed dental services using dental claims data.Results: More Arizona children aged birth to 21 were treated in health clinics than in private practice/dental support organization settings in 2019 than in 2016. Preventive and minor restorative dental claims were significantly higher in 2019 than in 2016 for pediatric patients in Arizona. Further, there was an increase in dental claims paid to non-dentists, such as dental hygienists and nurse practitioners, in 2019 compared to 2016.Conclusions: The place of service and provider type are shifting among pediatric Medicaid patients in Arizona. Not only is there a shift from place of service, but preventive and minor restorative dental claims are being filed by more non-dental providers. This reveals the movement towards integrated oral health in primary care for pediatric Medicaid patients in Arizona.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 1","pages":"e49-e55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12352864/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Utility of Community-Based Gait Speed Outcome Measures and Cut-Offs for Stroke.","authors":"Suzanne R O'Brien, Michelle Denninger, Tara Moore, Sydney Williams, Jillianne Wilson","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: Chronic stroke is associated with declines in gait speed (GS) associated with loss of participation, endurance, and increased institutionalization. GS categories described by Perry and Fulk can designate gait function and set goals for rehabilitation. It is unknown which GS tests and associated functional categories have better utility for goal setting in a group of community-dwelling patients with chronic stroke.Methods: An observational cohort design. A community-based clinic affiliated with a Doctor of Physical Therapy program. Included 21 patients with severe stroke. Patients received 10 weekly 1-hour pro-bono physical therapy sessions. GS was measured by the 10-meter walk test (10MWT) and 6-minute walk test (6MWT).Results: Gains were found in the 6MWT (p=0.023) but not the 10MWT (p=0.569); however, minimum clinically important difference was not attained for either test. At discharge, fewer participants achieved the faster Fulk cut-offs than Perry cut-offs.Discussion: Treatment was associated with improved GS using the 6MWT but not the 10MWT. Treatment impact was likely attenuated due to the limited dose of intervention. Applying functional GS categories as described by Fulk to people with severe stroke living in the community has more utility for program planning since achieving faster GS could prevent undesirable functional declines.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 1","pages":"e71-e76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558226","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 purpose of this study was to identify the factors related to persistence into graduate school for minoritized undergraduate students within a college of allied health in a predominantly white institution in the southeastern United States. Via focus groups, 11 juniors and seniors were interviewed about their experiences and perspectives related to pursuing graduate-level education. Using a phenomenological approach, student responses were coded for themes and subthemes. Results indicated that personal determination and establishing meaningful relationships with faculty and peers were key to school success and the potential for transition into graduate school. Barriers included inconsistencies in meaningful relationships such as being perceived as invisible or being a part of an institution with a limited culture of inclusion. Students also reported personal barriers such as limited financial resources, lack of family support, and difficulty asking for help as obstructing the path to graduate school. We emphasize the importance of faculty-student relationships, and in particular, mentorship, both informal and formal, for increasing the likelihood of success for minoritized individuals pursuing healthcare fields.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 3","pages":"e349-e357"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001495","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 most selected reason for not teaching formal sleep evaluations was lack of faculty knowledge on the subject. The most selected number of hours spent teaching formal sleep evaluation and formal sleep intervention was 1 to 2 hours. A variety of sleep evaluations and interventions were being taught.Conclusion: Most respondents reported teaching informal and formal sleep interventions, while less than half taught evaluation using standardized sleep instruments.
