Wheelchair Transfer Simulations to Enhance Procedural Skills and Clinical Reasoning - 0 views
-
allisonlarison on 11 Aug 16This was a study that looked at more effective ways to train students in wheelchair transfers with more dependent patients. Typically, the curriculum allows for transfer practice using other peers. This study occurred in a high-technology laboratory with SimMan technology and mock hospital suite. The SimMan replicates what a dependent transfer patient would be like. The mock hospital suite simulated an acute care setting, complete with medical equipment, vital signs, lines and drains in place. Scenarios were developed for the students with the assistance of practicing occupational therapists. These scenarios included an acutely ill patient, a critical medical management event that occurred during bed-to-wheelchair transfer and occupational need. Students completed 66-88% of transfer items correctly and showed that simulated scenarios were more difficult that practitioners rated them. Student rated this simulation as an effective, more realistic teaching tool. Students attributed this kind of simulation as a positive contribution to curriculum and promoted greater procedural and clinical reasoning skills.

This article looked at curriculum in OT and OTA programs and how they addressed handling techniques. Using a survey, they found that schools used lectures and lab-based experiences with gait belts, slide boards, and manual transfers while stressing 'safe' body mechanics. Researchers mention that it needs to continue to be stressed in the classroom to promote safety.

Sniderman, A., LaChapelle, K., & Rachon, N. (2013). The necessity for clinical reasoning in the era of evidence-based medicine. Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 88(10), 1108-1114. The authors of this article claim that evidence is often contradictory, insufficient, and may not apply to all individuals. Therefore, clinical reasoning is a necessary skill for practitioners to possess in order to make the best choices for our clients. Clinical reasoning is defined as the pragmatic process of expert clinical problem solving. The authors note that clinical reasoning is not the same as intuitive decision-making. Clinical reasoning requires is a disciplined, analytical, scientific approach to clinical problems. Research limitations discussed in this article include lack of evidence, incomplete evidence, conflicting evidence, low generalizability of RCTs, and limited transferability of group results to individuals. Although clinicians need to utilize available evidence to guide clinical decisions, it is important for clinicians to be aware of limitations in research to make sound clinical decisions.
The clinical reasoning of novice and expert occupational therapists - 0 views

This is an interesting study that delineated the differences between student and novice OTs and their more experienced counterparts. The authors concluded that the wealth of experience that expert OTs possess can be transferred to newbies through structured reflection and discussion of the OT process.
Clinical Outcomes following median to radial nerve transfers - 0 views

Proximal radial nerve injuries are a common orthopedic problem[ 1- 5]. The radial nerve is the most commonly injured nerve following orthopedic trauma[ 6, 7] and is highly correlated with open humeral shaft fractures[ 5]. Although radial nerve injuries can occur anywhere along the course of the nerve the clinical picture is similar.
