Literature Background

• Colgrove (2017): Importance of exploring the impact of affective learning through meeting with the “other,” use of role play and immersion in a case, DPT perceptions on PTA role.

• Our study: was an extension of our case-based learning and team-based care approaches which were already integrated into our curricula; the affective domain requires different teaching methods and our experience allows for that learning

• Jelley (2013): Importance of teaching competencies in communication and collaboration for intraprofessional practice in PT and PTA curricula; research based on PT and PTA practitioner perceptions.

• Our study: assessed perceptions of PT and PTA students and importance of teamwork according to IPEC competencies plus we added values and ethics into our learning experience

• Plack (2006): Timing of PT and PTA lab experiences to build relationships is important, attitudes of 1st year PT students were negative and were defensive of their role when paired with 2nd year PTA students.

• Our study: included 2nd year PT students and 2nd year PTA students

Population and Methods

Population

• Demographics:

• DPT students (n= 81)

• PTA students (n= 37)

• Typical class size:• DPT= 50

• PTA= 44 (2 programs; Traditional and Transfer)

• Age and gender typical of PT/PTA programs nationwide

Methods/Data Collection

• Pre-survey

• 1st year/semester one

• Prior to TeamSTEPPS training

• Knowledge-based

• Post-survey

• 2nd year curriculum (SPTs/SPTAs)

• After TeamSTEPPS training

• After PT/PTA Learning Experience

• Knowledge-based + behaviors and attitudes

Instruments

• Knowledge• Pre- and post-test of team skills

• Developed by faculty

• Attitudes and Perceptions• Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire• Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) (McFadyen

et al., 2007)• Completed retrospectively for pre/post attitudes and

perceptions

Analysis: Did the students improve in their knowledge of teamwork?... YES!

• Knowledge pre- and post-tests analyzed by Chi-square• Examine proportion of questions answered correctly before and

after the learning experience

• All three groups (2014/2016, 2015/2017, 2016/2018) improved on proportion of questions answered correctly

• TeamSTEPPS training increases knowledge of collaborative practice

• Consistent with IPEC competencies; knowledge is important and students need early exposure

Analysis of Behaviors and Attitudes of Students: Descriptive Statistics• A gap persists in the perception of PTAs and the relations with PTs

• PTs claim to think highly of PTAs, but PTAs are less certain

• PTs claim to have strong relations with PTAs, but PTAs are less confident

• PTs are less convinced that they need to depend upon or cooperate with PTAs

• PTAs are far less assured that PTs are willing to share information with them

• PTs are convinced they share information with PTAs

#47: From your PT/PTA lab experience, please tell us the most important thing you learned, specifically about working with PT/PTA, to care for patients in any rehabilitation setting.

“The use of teamwork skills between PTs and PTAs can lead to the best outcomes for patients. For example using a brief at the start of the day, or before each new patient will allow for both PT and PTA to have a shared mental model of what the goals for the patient are.” (SPT SP 2016)

“I learned that communication is

paramount in delivering a consistent and effective

tx regiment.”(SPTA SU 2015)

#47 (cont’d): From your PT/PTA lab experience, please tell us the most important thing you learned, specifically about working with PT/PTA, to care for patients in any rehabilitation setting.

“It is important to listen and respect what the other team member has to say and contribute.

Even if it is something that you don’t agree with, ultimately conveying that the safety and quality of care of patients is the number one

priority, should help in resolving conflict momentarily.” (SPTA SP 17)

Putting it All Together

The following information will review how PT/PTA programs can implement the IPEC IPE Core Competency Domains and the Centre for Interprofessional Education Constructs, as applied to the PT/PTA team, for IP collaborative practice

• Reviewed in this section will be:• Examples of Competency Statements• Application Ideas• Curricular Considerations• UNMC/Clarkson College Experience Teaching Examples

Construct 1: Collaboration(IPEC Domains #2: Roles and Responsibility; #4: Teamwork)

Exemplar Competency Statements• Clearly communicate role/responsibilities to patients, families, and other professionals• Recognize limitations in skills, knowledge, and abilities• Apply leadership practices that support collaborative practice and team effectiveness• Share accountability with others for outcomes• Reflect on individual/team performance for improvement

Application• Safe and effective care demands clearly defined roles and responsibilities• Stereotypes and inaccurate perceptions erode mutual respect and interferes with

effective teamwork• Practice leadership skills by dealing with conflict openly and constructively through

communication skills and shared problem solving

Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, 2011

10/4/2019

21

Curricular Considerations• Provide curricular and co-curricular opportunities for PT/PTA

students to interact • Students practice describing their role and education to others• Students reflect on how PTs or PTAs can be situational leaders• PT students understand and practice delegation of care to PTAs• Teach team tools

Construct 1: Collaboration(IPEC Domains #2: Roles and Responsibility; #4: Teamwork)

UNMC/Clarkson College Experience Teaching Examples

• PT/PTA students describe their roles in case studies (various care settings)

• PT students learn to delegate care to PTAs in case studies

• Students practice applying tools which facilitate teamwork in role play situations (various care settings)

• Brief• Huddle

• Debrief

• Students reflect on how PTs and/or PTAs can be situational leaders using TeamSTEPPS during case studies

Construct 2: Interprofessional Communication(IPEC Domain #3)

Exemplar Competency Statements

• Choose effective communication tools/techniques that enhance team function

• Express knowledge/opinions to team members with confidence, clarity, and respect

• Listen actively and encourage ideas/opinions of other team members

• Give timely, sensitive, instructive feedback and respond respectfully to feedback

Application

• Students should develop dual competency in clinical skills and team skills

• Create effective patterns that promote teamwork (not dysfunctional patterns)

• Use communication strategies that facilitate understanding (e.g., TeamSTEPPS SBAR)

Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, 2011

Curricular Considerations• Practice giving/receiving feedback from team

members• Teach communication tools that facilitate

teamwork and conflict resolution• Practice applying these communication tools

in role play situations

Construct 2: Interprofessional Communication(IPEC Domain #3)

10/4/2019

23

UNMC/Clarkson College Experience Examples• Ice-breaker question• Students collaborate on patient case in variety of settings (acute, SNF,

OP) to create interventions and answer setting-specific questions• Students learn various TeamSTEPPS communication strategies:

• SBAR• CUS (role play ethics case)• 2-Challenge Rule

• Small/large group discussion questions about ethics case• “What communication strategies can you use to defuse this

situation?”

Construct 2: Interprofessional Communication(IPEC Domain #3)

Construct 3: Values/Ethics for IP Practice(IPEC Domain #1)

Exemplar Competency Statements

• Respect unique cultures, values, roles/responsibilities, and expertise of others

• Work in cooperation with those who…provide care…or support the delivery of prevention and health services

• Manage ethical dilemmas specific to IP patient/population care situations

• Act with honesty and integrity in relationships with patients, families and other team members.

Application

• Mutual respect/trust are foundational values for the PT-PTA and patient relationship

• Behaviors should reflect a shared commitment to safe, efficient, effective systems of care, grounded in shared values and ethics (APTA code of ethics)

Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, 2011

24

Curricular Considerations• Apply discussions using Code of Ethics (PT) and Standards of

Ethical Conduct (PTA) to include PT-PTA team examples• Clinical frameworks with consistent modeling of ethical

practice• Content on ethics in coursework

Construct 3: Values/Ethics for IP Practice(IPEC Domain #1)

UNMC/Clarkson College Experience Examples

• Emphasis of team training in individual curricula reflects value of teamwork

• Faculty from each program model IP values and behavior in class

• Integration of ethics case into experience with large group discussion:

• “Are the interventions within the scope of work of the PTA? • “What are the possible consequences of the actions of the PT or PTA?”

• “How could this situation be resolved to benefit all stakeholders?”

• “How could this situation be prevented?”

UNMC/Clarkson Teaching Example: Ethics Case

Background: PT and PTA students pair up on a paper case; each has their part of the case and does not know the whole story; the case puts the PTA in a difficult position of being asked to do something beyond their scope of practice

Learning Experience: The pairs role play a phone conversation between the PT and PTA and are asked to reflect on some potential ethical problems, consequences of actions, communication strategies to defuse this situation, and solutions to resolve or prevent it

Large Group Discussion: Follows role play to probe students’ thoughts, strategies, solutions and questions

Breakout Session for Small Groups

1. Reference handout: “Framework for Development of IPE Values and Core Competencies” (used with permission, University of Toronto, Centre for Interprofessional Education)

2. Self-assess your current curricular content using CAPTE standards and IPEC constructs (Collaboration, Communication, and Values & Ethics)

3. Look for opportunities (e.g., face-to-face classroom, clinical, and distance) in your own curriculum for enhancing PT-PTA learning experiences

Sharing Time

•Best idea from the table

•Biggest barrier to solve

Future Plans

• Student feedback (Question #49)• “Your feedback is very important because it allows us to continually

improve the PT/PTA lab experience for students. If you have suggestions as to how we can improve this interprofessional (IPE) experience, please describe below.”

• Based on student feedback, updated experience in 2019 (did not change during the study)

• Review of literature re-emphasized value in continuing this IPE PT/PTA team learning experience (Chen et al., 2017; Chhabria, Black, Giordano, & Blue, 2019; Madigosky, Franson, Glover, & Earnest, 2019; Shortridge et al., 2019)
