Study Details

Brief summary:

This study examines whether physical therapy faculty can reliably and feasibly use the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric adapted for physical therapy (LCJR-PT) to score students' clinical judgment during a recorded simulation experience. Multiple trained faculty raters will independently score the same student videos, and the level of agreement between raters will be measured. Faculty will also report how long scoring takes and their perceptions of the rubric's usefulness.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

Doctor of Physical Therapy Student Simulation Group

Doctor of Physical Therapy Students who will undergo a 35 minute simulation session that will be video recorded.

Faculty Raters

A group of faculty in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program who will assess student simulation recordings using the LCJR-PT tool.

Interventions

Video Recorded Acute Care Simulation

Participants complete a routine, curriculum-based standardized acute care simulation (30-35 minutes including reflection).

Faculty Rating of Acute Care Simulation Video Using the LCJR-PT

Faculty members will assess and rate each student acute care simulation video using the LCJR-PT tool.

Primary outcome measure

  • Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for LCJR-PT total and domain scores [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months ]
