Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical reasoning is an important cognitive process in medical decision making. In recent years, medical education advocates holistic medicine, but systematic learning is rare in school education.Therefore, this study used an empathy experience course to conduct a case-oriented clinical reasoning training course to improve the empathy and clinical reasoning skills of pre-clinical students in occupational therapy through four sessions.

Clinical Trial Description

Objective: To investigate effectiveness of using empathy experience courses to guide the students who prior to occupational therapy(OT) practice in case-base clinical reasoning. Materials and Methods: 30 students were recruited from 8 universities in Taiwan and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was given four 3-hour training sessions over 2 weeks, which included group instruction on empathy experience, clinical reasoning, and functional therapy case-oriented learning, while the control group was given case studies. Tests were administered before and after the series of sessions, including case report writing, C-JES-HPS, SACRR, and a follow-up visit at the end of the first phase of clinical practice using the C-JES-HPS and SACRR; course satisfaction surveys were completed after each session and at the follow-up visit to observe course satisfaction, usefulness, and recommendations. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 20.0) with a significance level of 0.05. Univariate analyses with repeated measures 2-way analysis of variance were used to compare changes in empathy and clinical reasoning ability between the two groups of subjects and course satisfaction was presented as descriptive statistics. It was hypothesized that a case-oriented clinical reasoning training program using an empathy experience program would improve empathy and clinical reasoning skills in pre-practicum students in occupational therapy. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
