Purpose: To investigate the acute effects of trunk extensor, abdominal, and calf muscle fatigue on lumbar proprioception and balance. Method: Seventy healthy individuals, aged between 18-25, without pain in the low back and lower extremities, with right dominant lower extremities, were included in the study. Dynamic balance with the Y-balance Test, lumbar proprioception sense with the application of the IOS software, and fatigue level with the 6-20 Borg Scale were evaluated before and immediately after the back extensor, abdominal, and calf muscle fatigue protocols were applied to the individuals at 72-hour intervals. Results: After all fatigue protocols, proprioception sense at 30˚ lumbar flexion was found to change significantly (pConclusionsThis study determined that acute fatigue negatively affects proprioceptive sense and dynamic postural control in the anterior direction. Understanding how the trunk extensor, abdominal, and ankle plantar flexor muscles respond to a fatigue-inducing exercise, especially concerning postural control and trunk proprioception, is important for understanding and preventing injury risk.

Introduction: For healthcare organizations to adapt and improve, staff need to speak up for patient safety and quality improvement. Speaking up has been explored in nursing and medicine with little known about speaking up in allied health. This study is part of a larger project investigating speaking up in allied health new graduates. This paper is taking a realist position to look at the perspectives of supervisors of allied health new graduates and further develop the Initial Program Theory (IPT) developed from the new graduate study. Method: Data was collected from two focus groups. Inductive thematic analysis was employed to develop themes and further realist informed analysis was completed using context-mechanism-outcome configurations leading to a refined IPT. FINDINGS: This study reports on the causal mechanisms and contextual features which supervisors believe activate speaking up in new graduates. A further developed IPT which combines findings from both studies will be introduced. CONCLUSION: Supervisors of allied health new graduates are aware of the complexity of speaking up in healthcare. Taking a realist position, this study has highlighted the importance of professional supervision and cultural supervision in speaking up for allied health new graduates.

Purpose: Assessment of recovery in post-cardiac surgical patients is commonly conducted using lung function, dominant handgrip strength (DHGS), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of this study was to determine the recovery of lung function, DHGS and HRQoL in cardiac surgical patients at six-weeks and six-months after hospital discharge. Further, this study investigated the association between these parameters and the predictive ability of DHGS for lung function and HRQoL. Methods: This was a prospective observational study that involved 58 cardiac surgical patients who completed lung function, DHGS, and HRQoL assessments pre-operatively, at six-weeks, and six-months after hospital discharge. Lung function was assessed using three different calibrated spirometers, while DHGS was measured using three different calibrated handgrip dynamometers. The Short-Form 36 questionnaire was utilized for HRQoL assessment. Results: At six-weeks after hospital discharge, lung function and DHGS were significantly (pConclusion:Variable changes were identified in lung function, DHGS, and HRQoL in cardiac surgical patients at six-weeks and six-months after hospital discharge. Dominant hand grip strength may have limited or no value in predicting lung function and HRQoL in cardiac surgical patients during the intermediate recovery period.

Purpose: Lack of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) cultural competence in healthcare providers contributes to poor health outcomes in individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, and more (LGBTQIA+). However, SOGI is often overlooked in healthcare education. Existing research shows educational programs in the nursing, medical, and pharmacy professions are incorporating cultural competence training into the curricula. Few studies have explored how SOGI cultural competence is incorporated into occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and speech-language pathology (SLP) curricula. Clear guidelines for training on SOGI cultural competence are lacking in these professions. It is important to identify how OT, PT, and SLP educational programs are preparing students to provide culturally competent care to LGBTQIA+ individuals. This scoping review summarizes existing research on this topic and identifies gaps in the literature. Method: A scoping review methodological framework (Arksey & O’Malley, 2005; Levac et al., 2010) was used to search six databases. Descriptive numerical summary and qualitative analysis were used to summarize and interpret the results. Results: A total of 1,091 articles were included in the original search. After the initial title and abstract screening, 55 articles remained. In total, nine articles met the inclusion criteria for this scoping review. Quantitative results describe variation in study participants, SOGI populations, the type and purpose of training, and outcome measures used. Qualitative themes related to SOGI cultural competence include assessment of student and faculty knowledge, and the perceptions and evaluation of course content. Gaps in the literature include long-term changes in knowledge, skills, and dispositions of students; the need for clinical workshops, the quality of self-report in education, outcomes of training programs, and effectiveness of voice training for transgender clients. Conclusions: The benefits of including SOGI cultural competence in the healthcare curricula include increased student knowledge, confidence, sensitivity, cultural competence, and improved attitudes toward LGBTQIA+ individuals. Additional research is needed to develop and standardize training on SOGI cultural competence in the OT, PT, and SLP curricula.
目的:医疗服务提供者缺乏性取向和性别认同(SOGI)文化能力会导致女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿或质疑者、双性人、无性恋者等(LGBTQIA+)人群的健康状况不佳。然而,在医疗保健教育中,SOGI往往被忽视。现有的研究表明,护理、医学和药学专业的教育项目正在将文化能力训练纳入课程。很少有研究探讨如何将SOGI文化能力纳入职业治疗(OT)、物理治疗(PT)和语言病理学(SLP)课程。这些专业缺乏明确的SOGI文化能力培训指南。重要的是要确定OT、PT和SLP教育项目如何让学生为LGBTQIA+个体提供具有文化能力的护理。本综述总结了关于该主题的现有研究,并确定了文献中的空白。方法:范围审查方法框架(Arksey &奥马利,2005;Levac et al., 2010)对6个数据库进行了检索。采用描述性数值总结和定性分析对结果进行总结和解释。结果:原检索共纳入1091篇文章。经过最初的标题和摘要筛选,剩下55篇文章。总共有9篇文章符合本次范围审查的纳入标准。定量结果描述了研究参与者、SOGI人群、培训类型和目的以及使用的结果测量方法的变化。与SOGI文化能力相关的定性主题包括对学生和教师知识的评估,以及对课程内容的认知和评估。文献中的空白包括知识、技能和学生性格的长期变化;临床研讨会的需要,教育自我报告的质量,培训项目的结果,以及跨性别客户语音培训的有效性。结论:将SOGI文化能力纳入医疗保健课程的好处包括增加学生的知识、信心、敏感性、文化能力和改善对LGBTQIA+个体的态度。在OT、PT和SLP课程中发展和规范SOGI文化能力培训需要进一步的研究。

Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to develop, describe, and evaluate burnout curricula using meditation as a burnout reduction strategy. Method: The Maslach Burnout Inventory was the survey method used to assess PA student’s levels of burnout after completing developed burnout curricula. Results: The results showed no relationship between burnout curricula completion and rates of student burnout. However, the findings showed burnout differences across the three cohorts of student classes. Conclusion: While limited by only the three cohorts of students, the study affirmed the need for faculty to stay attuned to aspects of student burnout.
