Lecturer in Physiotherapy Fiji National University Clinical Education: An analysis of Clinical Reasoning amongst Physiotherapy Students in Fiji. Venasio Ramabuke Lecturer in Physiotherapy School of Health Sciences – College of Medicine, Nursing, & Health Sciences Fiji National University

Introduction Clinical Reasoning is the thought process behind clinical practice (Smith, Higgs, & Ellis, 2008). Vaguely assessed in curriculums (Boshuizen & Schmidt, 2008) Cognitive process challenging objective measurement tools (Banning, 2008).

Research Question What is the level of clinical reasoning among Physiotherapy students? Aim: Analyze level of clinical reasoning amongst Physiotherapy students. Research Framework: Empirico-analytical research paradigm

Methodology Study Design: Cross sectional Venue: CWMH/ Lautoka Hospital/ CMNHS Study Period: End of Semester 2, 2016 Participants: (Recruit, inclusion and exclusion) BPT Students (n=41:Year 3=30; Year 4 = 11). PT Clinicians (n=13) as reference norm.

Methodology Variables: Tool: Script Concordance Test (SCT) Exposure: Level of clinical exposure Outcome: Clinical reasoning score Tool: Script Concordance Test (SCT) 17 case studies x 3 items/case = 51 items Good clinical reasoning = Clinician mean score – 2 SD. (57.7)

Methodology- SCT Based on the ‘Illness Script Theory’ SCT: explores the structure and organization of the knowledge base how facts are linked together in memory and applied to context clinical problems Used in medical and health sciences curricula. Clinical vignette followed by a 3 part question: Part 1: Probable diagnosis Part 2: New clinical information Part 3: likert scale: -2 to 2.

Methodology Data Analysis: Categorical variable of level of study and number of students with good clinical reasoning skills were summarized as frequency and percentages. Difference in proportion of students with good clinical reasoning skill between the two level was done using Chi-square test.

Result Table 1: Proportion of students with levels of CR norm referenced. Levels Good level of CR Excellent level of CR Exposure Year 3 63.3% (n=19) 3% (n=1) Year 4 72% (n=8) 27% (n=3) Table 2: Proportion of students with levels of CR class referenced. Levels Good level of CR Exposure Year 3 83% Year 4 80%

Result Table 3: Pearson Correlations between student and clinicians level of CR (significant level set at p value = 0.05)   BPT4 BPT3 Clinicians Sig. (2-tailed) 0.295 0.550 N 11 0.398 30 13

Discussion A higher proportion of Year 4 students were within 1 and 2 SD of clinicians mean score compared to Year 3s. More exposure and varied clinical environment supports building of knowledge base for clinical scripts. The two student cohorts are being supervised by same group of clinical educators consisting of clinicians thus reasoning skills adopted by students could be similar. Absolute levels varied but on average, they were not significant. Year 3 showed least level of clinical reasoning in Women’s Health which they have no clinical experience in while Year 4s least CR level was in Neurology.

Recommendation Physiotherapy program to include objective assessment of CR in its curriculum Continuous professional development activities for reference population (clinicians) to raise normative level. Professional association to set benchmark requirements for practising licence. Specific needs for clinical students during clinical exposure – Quality of exposure vs Quantity (hours). Coaching of CR in clinical students

Conclusion Clinical reasoning of Physiotherapy students when compared to clinicians is at a good level. Duration of the exposure may not necessarily result in significant development of clinical reasoning. It is imperative to focus on individual student needs and quality of the exposure. A substantial body of research supports the SCT’s construct validity, reliability, and feasibility across a variety of health science disciplines, and across the spectrum of health professions education from pre-clinical training to continuing professional development.
