详细描述
This study aims to improve the clinical decision making skills of a group of Myanmar Physical therapists by series of educational workshops that will introduce them to and guide them through the decision making process. The hypothesis of the study is the independent variable of CDM education workshop will affect the dependent variable of CDM skills of participants and the direction will be one-tailed.
Regarding my study design with pre-test-post-test for the same subjects design, samples would need 27 samples to see average change in knowledge (CDM knowledge) from pre-test to post-test with the alpha 0.05, power 0.08 and medium effect size of 0.5. However, Researcher will recruit 34 participants to cover 20% of drop out for each group. Altogether 68 participants will be needed.
Participants will be separated into two groups, one workshop and one workbook group. Among all registrants (by initial online announcement of CDM workshop and onsite invitation of CDM workshop -snow ball recruitment ), participants will be randomly assigned to two different group first then principle investigator will inform again them about their group with information sheet and informed consent form to have agreement to join the study from one group. Intervention group will have Clinical Decision Making (CDM) workshop while workbook group will be provided by the Clinical Decision Making (CDM) workbook without attending workshop and onsite interaction.
To conduct the study "Effectiveness of Clinical Decision Making (CDM) workshop in group of Myanmar Physical Therapists" , three preliminary studies have to be done before conducting the main study. Three preliminary studies are 1) Development of Clinical Decision Making (CDM) assessment worksheet, Qualitative Approach (in-depth interview) with 18 physical therapists form Yangon, 2) Validity and Reliability study of Clinical Decision Making (CDM) assessment worksheet and 3) Development of series of Clinical Decision Making (CDM) workshop based on the emerged themes and developed categories to represent the CDM knowledge in Myanmar physical therapists. Study 1 and 3 were done in order to able to develop the protocol of the main study.
