入选标准

  • Physiotherapist learner participants:
  • To be eligible for this project, physiotherapist learner participants will be physiotherapists with full Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency registration and working in the private practice. They will have no more than 5 years of experience working as a physiotherapist. They will have a caseload of at least 3 new patients with spinal pain per week. Participants will be planning to continue to practice as a physiotherapist with this caseload for at least 6 months following participation in the online professional development intervention of the study.
  • Patient participants
  • Patients of the participating physiotherapists will be recruited to evaluate outcomes. To be eligible, patients will have spine pain (+/- limb pain) in any area of the spine, which is of any duration. They will attend the physiotherapy practice to receive care from the participating physiotherapist. They will be seeing the physiotherapist learner for the first time due to this episode of spinal pain.
  • Additional patients of the participating physiotherapists will be recruited for a patient-physiotherapist leaner encounter video recording. This is to ensure that these participants willingly provide consent to the use of the recording and collection of their demographic information. These patients will have the same inclusion criteria as those recruited for outcomes, except they will not need to be seeing the physiotherapist learner for the first time. Written consent will be obtained for participation.

排除标准

  • Physiotherapist learner participants:
  • Physiotherapists learners will excluded if they have previously completed or are currently enrolled in a post-graduate musculoskeletal or sports physiotherapy program which includes mentored clinical practice hours. Physiotherapist learners will also be excluded if they have been working as physiotherapists for more than 5 years,
  • Patient participants
  • Patients will be excluded if they have a suspected or confirmed diagnosis which would contra-indicate physiotherapy management and require onward medical referral, as per usual physiotherapy practice. Such diagnoses are unable to be exhaustive, but include serious pathology such as spinal fractures, aortic aneurysm or cancer. Patients will also be excluded where English language proficiency or cognitive function limits ability to consent and/or complete the patient questionnaires.
  • Patients will be excluded from evaluating outcomes if they have been seen by the physiotherapist learner for the same episode of spinal pain in the previous month.
