Over 90% agreed on the importance of sleep and that PTs should inquire about sleep issues. However, most lacked sleep education in PT school (64-79%) or after graduation (65-93%). Only 26-56% routinely assessed sleep, 21-43% educated patients on its importance, and 18-59% provided guidance on improving sleep quality. Differences existed in attitudes, education, and practices regarding sleep across countries. Despite recognizing sleep's importance, PTs lack the necessary education to address it adequately. Equipping PTs globally to address sleep issues is a critical opportunity to enhance sleep health and mitigate health consequences of poor sleep worldwide.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 3","pages":"e359-e364"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001520","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}

While allied health professional programs have included IPE in their curricula for years, there is limited evidence of its impact on graduates' professional lives and its contribution to improved patient care. Faculty from eight accredited allied health programs were invited to complete a web-based survey. Most participants (n=190) reported already implementing IPE in their programs. Three-quarters of participants (n=143, 75%) reported they were not measuring the impact of IPE on graduates' professional lives. Among those that do measure it, one-third reported that IPE had \"a great deal\" or \"a lot\" of impact (n=17, 36.2%) on the professional lives of their graduates. Similarly, most participants (n=158, 84%) reported not assessing IPE's impact on overall patient care. Among those who did consider the effect on patient care, more than one-third (n=14, 45.2%) of the respondents indicated that IPE had \"a great deal\" or \"a lot\" of impact on patient care. Our results show that few programs measure IPE's effect on professional practice, with even fewer assessing its impact on patient care. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies evaluating IPE's effectiveness in clinical settings and its connection to interprofessional practice in health settings.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 3","pages":"e257-e263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001548","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}

Learning outcomes were captured quantitatively through student ratings of learning objective accomplishment and qualitatively through thematic analyses of learner reflections.Results: Cumulative Likert responses for 375 interprofessional students exceeded 4.15±0.57 (1=disagree strongly; 5=strongly agree) for each learning objective statement. Students collectively submit¬ted 1,044 reflection comments. Inductive thematic analysis of skills and knowledge reinforced from participation identified 84 codes corresponding to 10 thematic areas: collab¬oration, communication, efficiency, knowledge, leadership, patient-centeredness, personal growth, roles, teams, and values/ethics. Moreover, a separate theoretical thematic analysis using newly revised 2023 Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) subcompetencies as a framework revealed that each subcompetency was reflected by ≥1 student comment.Conclusion: Distance-learning principles can be applied to IPE events to promote engagement, accomplish learning objectives, and facilitate professional identify formation.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 3","pages":"e265-e273"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001562","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}

Yet, there has been an increasing trend for PAs to complete a postgraduate (PG) fellowship/residency to gain specialized expertise in specific medical disciplines. We analyzed national data and compared PAs' annual income, educational attainment, background, and professional attributes with a PG fellowship/residency and those without. Descriptive and bivariate statistics, along with quantile regression, were conducted. We found distinct differences in demographic/practice characteristics of the two groups (all p<0.001). PAs with PG fellowship/residency vs those without were older (median age, 42 vs 38), identified as male (42.4% vs 29.4%), Black/African American (4.8% vs 3.3%), and Hispanic/ Latino(a/x) (8.0% vs 6.6%). Most PAs completed their PG fellowship/residency in emergency medicine and worked in hospitals. Furthermore, income levels between PAs with a PG fellowship/residency and those without, revealed a significant gap of $10,000 in favor of those with a fellowship/residency. However, after adjusting for confounders, quantile regression analysis estimated a narrowed gap ($1,500.60). These findings indicate that additional education may not be associated with a substantial income increase. Further research should investigate the income growth trajectory of a PG fellowship/residency, providing a deeper understanding of the economic implications.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 3","pages":"e429-e436"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001579","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}

Community-based allied health care provides services for people with complex and often deteriorating conditions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if a single outcome measure was applicable across a multidisciplinary team of eight allied health professions to measure the impact of the team. The chosen measure was the EuroQoL, 5-dimension, 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) which we compared to changes in discipline specific functional and quality of life measures.Methods: Any adult attending community-based services could participate. Both measures were administered at the start of care and repeated 3 months later or at time of discharge. Disciplines and outcome measures included were: psychology (DASS-21); occupational therapy (COPM); social work (ORS); dietetics (Qualcibo); podiatry (wound depth); physiotherapy (6 minute walk test); exercise physiology (Quick¬DASH); and speech pathology (AusTOMs).Results: Improvements in discipline specific measures were seen in occupational therapy; social work; dietetics; podiatry; and speech pathology (swallow impairment, swallow distress). There was no statistical difference in mean EQ-5D-5L utility score and visual analogue scale. At 3-month follow-up, less participants reported moderate, severe/extreme problems or inability to complete tasks for mobility, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression dimensions but were not significant.Implications: Results suggest the EQ-5D-5L was unresponsive to the improvement demonstrated with discipline-specific measures in a community-based allied health setting over a 3-month time frame.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 1","pages":"e41-e48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558224","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}

To measure its efficacy, using a prospective cohort design, we evaluated changes in burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory), depression (Harvard Dep. of Psychiatry/National Depression Screening Day), and tolerance of ambiguity (Tolerance of Ambiguity in Medical Students and Doctors, TAMSAD) in students before and after the implementation of the curriculum (n=85). We compared results to two other PA programs not receiving the MBSR curriculum (n=46). The students also provided qualitative assessments of the program.Results: The percentage of students reporting burnout on the Maslach Burnout Inventory decreased by 9.9% after implementation of the curriculum in the intervention group and increased by 18.2% in the control group. The percentage of students reporting difficulty concentrating decreased by 22.9% in the intervention group after MBSR and increased by 5.9% in the control group. The scores on the TAMSAD scale showed a marked improvement in the intervention group (55 to 59) after the curriculum was implemented with no change in the control group. The students also provided qualitative assessments of the program related to types and benefits of the mindful wellness practice utilized.Conclusions: The mindful wellness curriculum could be implemented effectively in other allied health programs to address the ever-increasing mental health challenges that students face.

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) has developed the Student Talent Advancing Retention Success (STARS) program to mitigate the impact of the shortage. In this study, we discussed a graduate workforce retention model that involves the collaboration between the School of Health Professions and the Division of Diagnostic Operations at the MDACC. The program is designed to address the challenge of a shortage of radiologic technologists workforce and to support the institution's strategic vision for geographic expansion. The STARS program targets shortages in medical imaging specialties like radiologic technology, MRI, CT, and interventional radiology. The primary objective of the STARS program is to enhance the resilience of MD Anderson's patient access to imaging services, ultimately contributing to overall organizational improvements. The STARS program achieved a 100% graduate retention rate and significant return on investment (ROI). Retention of the program participants yielded cost savings for the department by contributing to the elimination of the recruitment fees paid to employment agencies for hiring new technologists, decreased orientation time, and reduced overtime payments to technologists for shift coverage. This partnership model demonstrates a sustainable workforce development approach in healthcare. Integrating academic and clinical operations provides a replicable model for addressing healthcare staffing and workforce development challenges.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 2","pages":"e199-e204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144267523","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}
