Prerequisites serve various roles including achieving accreditation standards, determining academic preparation, predicting academic success, and informing admissions decisions. While the theories purported to support prerequisite courses have largely remained static, the challenges for educators and applicants have evolved. In addition to training future healthcare providers, contemporary educators are focused on attracting and training a diverse workforce as well as attaining enrollment targets to ensure financial stability. We propose 4 assumptions that pit common prerequisite practices against these contemporary challenges including limitations caused by the cost of prerequisites, disproportionate burden on underrepresented minorities, extraordinarily complex and variable policies, and a disconnect between grades and knowledge retention. Continuing to operate under these assumptions creates unnecessary barriers for potential students. We offer model practices for approaching prerequisites with more flexibility. These practices involve refining expectations for learning, normalizing alternatives to coursework, conducting prospective research, analyzing relevant data, and exploring more personalized pathways and holistic practices. As higher education changes and the demand for healthcare providers increases, innovation to the admissions process is needed to identify those who can complete programs and become competent healthcare providers.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"53 3","pages":"e157-e166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142297282","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}

Thus, we created the Sukubara®, a self-administered training system (squat + balance training) that incorporates a new low-load exercise. In this study, we hypothesize that introducing Sukubara will positively affect skeletal muscle mass and physical function. A preliminary verification was carried out on healthy, non-elderly participants who were recruited from the hospital staff. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups for a 12-week intervention: the resistance training group (R group) that performed the Sukubara exercise program and the control group (C group) that did not. This study's primary end¬point was a change in skeletal muscle mass, while the secondary endpoints were knee extension strength and one-leg standing time with eyes closed. An analysis of the 18 participants (R group = 8; C group = 10) was performed. Results showed that skeletal muscle mass, knee extension strength, and one-leg standing time were significantly improved or tended to be significantly higher in the R group than in the C group. Our study concluded that, by incorporating low-load exercise, Sukubara resulted in muscle hypertrophy and improved physical function.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"53 1","pages":"51-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140013442","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":"Role of Cognitive and Non-Cognitive Attributes in Doctor of Physical Therapy Student Performance.","authors":"Maureen Conard, Kristin Schweizer","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Admission to physical therapist education programs (PTEPs) is commonly based on cognitive attributes such as undergraduate grade point average (uGPA), pre-requisite course GPA (pre-req GPA), and sometimes Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, admissions interviews or essays. The primary purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the relationships between non-cognitive attributes identified through a personality-oriented job analysis (POJA) and Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) student academic performance to improve admissions procedures and DPT student education and training. The present study examined correlations among 12 non-cognitive attributes identified through the POJA and existing cognitive admission criteria, specifically uGPA and pre-req GPA, with DPT grades in the first semester of the PTEP. Multiple regression using non-cognitive attributes in addition to current cognitive admissions criteria showed that uGPA was the strongest predictor of DPT grades, followed by self-reflection and anxiousness/neuroticism (negatively). While uGPA was the strongest predictor of DPT student GPA, it may be valuable to add measures of self-reflection and anxiousness/neuroticism to the admissions process to increase the likelihood of success academically. The present study adds to a still limited body of knowledge of how both cognitive and non-cognitive attributes predict graduate academic performance in a variety of health professions.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"53 3","pages":"188-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142297277","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 students worked as an interprofessional team with a faculty facilitator to first create a plan of care and later a discharge plan for a fictitious patient. At the completion of the symposium, 281 out of 311 students completed the Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS), a tool that assesses competency in collaborative practice. Results demonstrated a significant increase in every collaboration-related competency for all participants as a group (p < 0.001), as well as significant differences between professions (F = 2.99, p = 0.007). For example, students from OT rated themselves lowest at the start and showed the greatest gains, and students from MHC showed the smallest gains but had the fewest participants. This virtual symposium resolved some common logistical challenges and was effective at improving interprofessional collaborative competency. Including a wide variety of health professions in this IPE activity facilitated a broad reach and applicability to the interprofessional teams that students will encounter in the future.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"53 1","pages":"19-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140013396","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":"Student Perceived Confidence with Complex Patients Before and After a Simulated Case-Based Course.","authors":"Natonya Q Early, Leona O Hidalgo, Christine Salmon","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: This study compared Doctor of Physical Therapy students' perceived confidence with evaluating/treating complex patients before and after a case-based patient management course. The impact of simulated learning and prior clinical exposure were explored.Methods: A longitudinal, pretest-posttest design was used across 4 university campuses. A Physiotherapist Self-Efficacy survey was used to collect student responses before/after the course, related to adequate preparation, verbal/written communication, subjective/objective assessments, interpreting assessment findings, identifying/prioritizing patient problems, selecting appropriate short/long term goals, performing/evaluating treatments, discharge planning, progressing interventions, and dealing with a range of patient conditions. Descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, ANOVA tests, and conceptual content analyses were completed.Results: Eighty surveys were completed (13.88% response rate). Posttest confidence levels were higher compared to pretest values in all survey items. The t-statistics indicated a significant difference (p<0.001) between the pretest/posttest scores across all 80 records. Levene's statistic revealed p-values >0.001, indicating we met the assumption of homogeneity of variance across different cohort groups.Conclusions: Student confidence levels towards complex patients significantly improved after course exposure, for all survey components in all cohorts. Simulated experiences, supplemental course materials, and prior outpatient clinical experience contributed to self-efficacy values.

This article describes the approach that Rush University's College of Sciences is pursuing to better prepare health sciences students for this reality. Faculty and students enrolled across all programs of the College were surveyed regarding their levels of concern about global warming using items from the Six Americas Survey, as well as perceived importance of planetary health curricular elements adapted from the Planetary Health Report Card. Faculty were additionally asked about perceived opportunities to bring planetary health education into each of the degree programs offered by the university. A total of 37 faculty and 43 students completed the survey, collectively representing all programs in the college. Responses reflected widespread interest in expanding planetary health education, but topic priorities and optimal methods for implementation differed between programs. Although the survey process had limitations, it demonstrated the need for greater attention to planetary health across curricula and offered more efficient approaches implementing this essential content across programs.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"53 2","pages":"136-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141248792","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}

Perceptions the general public hold regarding the consequences of disc herniation are currently unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the general population's current views regarding lumbar disc herniations in order to better understand patient perceptions regarding herniated discs and the factors that may influence them.Design: A hybrid survey of original questions and existing scales was developed for this study. Questions included demographic, medical history, and perceptions of disc herniation inquiries, as well as the entirety of the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) scales. Data analysis was performed via JASP.Results: A key finding of this study was that resilience plays a major role in participant's views on herniated intervertebral discs (p=0.040). Participants with greater resilience levels had views on disc herniations that were more consistent with the findings in the literature (p=0.018).Conclusion: This may implicate low resilience levels in negative catastrophizing, which can impair the recovery process for patients. Due to this, healthcare providers should further consider a patient's mental characteristics such as resilience and coping style when discussing implications of this potential diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"53 4","pages":"270-276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142787206","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}
