This study assesses the impact of policy classes on students' political astuteness at the end of their programs of study. The study used a longitudinal, follow-up design to determine changes in political astuteness from beginning to completion of graduate programs or coursework. Students enrolled in the nursing and OT graduate programs at a mid-sized southeastern university completed a modified Political Astuteness Inventory (PAI) at the start and end of their program of study. Seventy-eight students participated in the study at the beginning of their program and 47 participated following the end of their program. The mean of all student scores on the Political Astuteness Inventory (PAI) showed a significant increase at the completion of their programs. Providing dedicated policy instruction has potential to increase political astuteness among graduate health science students. The political astuteness of those directly involved in health care is key to shaping effective, equitable healthcare policy.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 4","pages":"e601-e605"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145688395","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}

Following national social justice movements, Rutgers School of Health Professions (SHP) joined the conversation about the need for change towards more purposeful diversity, inclusivity, and social justice. Through a call to action, SHP established an equity task force (SET) charged with expanding understanding of the role of the healthcare provider in promoting health equity within the school. Three subcommittees were formed to focus on each goal. The work of the SET Research and Scholarship subcommittee is the focus of this commentary. Using a scoping review method, committee members used an evidence-based approach to assesses levels of intentional diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in faculty scholarship. Findings of low levels of intentional DEI in the published scholarly works was viewed as an opportunity to foster and encourage some level of DEI in scholarship across the health disciplines. Strategies such as raising awareness about opportunities for intentional DEI-focused research were shared with SHP faculty. Continued assessment for increased levels of DEI inclusion in our faculty scholarly works is needed to measure the impact of these strategic efforts.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 4","pages":"e565-e569"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145688479","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.

{"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}

This study investigated the current state of the MA workforce in Colorado and beyond, focusing on career pathways, training needs, and opportunities for advancement. Using a mixed-methods approach, the researchers surveyed graduates of the National Institute of Medical Assistant Advancement MA training program (n=28) and interviewed MAs (n=2) and safety net health clinic leadership (n=4). The study revealed a predominantly female (93.1%) and ethnically diverse workforce, with high job satisfaction but varying awareness of career advancement opportunities. Key findings include the clinical readiness of graduates from comprehensive training programs, the need for standardized career pathways, and the importance of addressing workload disparities. The research underscores the potential of MAs as cultural bridges in healthcare settings and highlights the necessity for improved communication about educational and career opportunities. These insights provide valuable direction for developing strategies to enhance MA training, retention, and career advancement, ultimately contributing to a more robust and effective healthcare workforce in medically underserved communities.","PeriodicalId":35979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allied Health","volume":"54 4","pages":"e581-e586"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145688471","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}
