April 2021<\/h3>\r\nWhen you think of the profession of Physical Therapy,\u00a0what are the images or things that you first think of?\u00a0You probably think of somebody walking a patient through\u00a0exercises. Maybe you\u00a0think of the work environment that\u00a0they practice in. You may also think about what a\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapist would wear for their uniform. These are probably things that most people think about when they\u00a0hear\u00a0that profession. Most of these things are very true, but they\u00a0only scrape the surface of what a Physical Therapist does\u00a0on a daily basis\u00a0and the other well-rounded\u00a0skills they need to succeed.\u00a0For my final research essay, I will continue to look at my major of Physical Therapy and discuss how the elements in the world of literacy can be translated into a specific career field. There are so many skills used in Physical Therapy that do not just pertain to it specifically, but also skills that are practical in every professional setting. This is what makes this career so unique that you must be a well-rounded individual in general. One of the most significant aspects of this\u00a0particular career\u00a0choice is that you\u00a0have to\u00a0work\u00a0really well\u00a0in a team dynamic. This could be with other Physical Therapists or even different health professionals depending on what setting of practice you are in. In order to work well with other people in your team, not only do you need to understand your job, but you also need to understand what other people\u2019s jobs and roles are. This creates a more cohesive team between the group and translates to more efficiency. This understanding of each other\u2019s roles within a team is called Interprofessional Education (IPE).\u00a0My final research essay will take a closer look at how IPE is involved in the health field but also looking specifically at how physical therapists are involved within different health settings in the context\u00a0of IPE.\r\n\r\nAs I have mentioned before, Pre-Physical Therapy is what I am majoring\u00a0in\u00a0and this profession is something that I have known what I have wanted to do for a long time.\u00a0Obviously,\u00a0anybody\u00a0studying\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapy\u00a0finds\u00a0interest\u00a0in\u00a0how the body moves and works in\u00a0general, but I find the career much more interesting for many other reasons.\u00a0One of them is being able to assist people when they are at a time in their lives when they need help.\u00a0I would of course find that part of the job very rewarding\u00a0and give me a sense of purpose that I am going to work every day to help change people's lives.\u00a0Even though those are major components of why I want to be a Physical Therapist, I still have one\u00a0major\u00a0reason that interests me so much. It\u2019s\u00a0the\u00a0fact that it is such a\u00a0specific\u00a0practice and pertains to a fraction of the medical\u00a0sciences,\u00a0yet it can be so applicable to many settings in the field itself and in life in general.\u00a0It just shows how important it is to take care of our bodies and\u00a0understanding what you do daily can influence it.\u00a0Picking this topic allowed\u00a0me\u00a0to look deeper into those aspects of the profession and answer questions that\u00a0myself\u00a0and many others have\u00a0about it.\r\n\r\nUsing these questions\u00a0presented will allow me to be able to have those answers about Physical Therapy and be able to take a closer look at the profession instead of seeing it at face value.\u00a0My questions that I will discuss in my essay are \u201cHow is literacy involved in Physical Therapy and writing evaluation notes and progress reports?\u201d.\u00a0A lot of writing goes into being a\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapist because it is their responsibility to make evaluations\u00a0on\u00a0the patient and to do that you must be able to correctly write reports.\u00a0Another question that will be asked is \u201cHow does communication between Physical Therapists and Doctors or other medical professionals affect how work is done in practice?\u201d. This goes along with the other question \u201cHow is IPE involved with everyday practice for Physical Therapists and for the education of DPT students?\u201d. These both revolve around the idea\u00a0on\u00a0how Physical therapists are\u00a0involved in the health care setting in the context of IPE. My other questions are \u201cHow much does communication between the Physical Therapist and the patient affect the relationship between them?\u201d, \u201cAre discourse different in each specific area of practice in Physical Therapy? If so, how are they different?\u201d,\u00a0 \u201cHow does the education in DPT (Doctor Physical Therapy) prepare Physical Therapists for the practice environment?\u201d.\u00a0Being able to look at Physical Therapy\u00a0with\u00a0different perspectives and contexts will lead to a better understanding of\u00a0what the overall job and\u00a0purpose\u00a0is of the career.\r\n\r\nAlthough people do not associate writing with Physical Therapy,\u00a0it\u00a0is\u00a0incredibly significant\u00a0in the day-to-day practices of a Physical\u00a0Therapist and is one of the aspects of the profession that\u00a0people tend to look past when understanding it.\u00a0A\u00a0portion\u00a0of the writing done in Physical Therapy is through writing evaluation assessments for patients. In the article \u201cPhysical Therapy Assessment Documentation: 3 Tips & Examples\u201d,\u00a0the author\u00a0Tim Fraticelli\u2019s target audience is to other\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapists in the field that may be new to\u00a0the day-to-day practices. He gives in-depth tips\u00a0to\u00a0formatting evaluation notes and other forms of writing that\u00a0is\u00a0done in the profession.\u00a0Fraticelli explains\u00a0to the reader about how daily notes are supposed to be done and goes into specific detail regarding this topic \u201cYou don\u2019t need to write a paragraph for this type of\u00a0documentation, but\u00a0being too brief could diminish important aspects of your skilled assessment. Focus on the key elements you worked on in the session. If you targeted balance training, your assessment should reflect\u00a0why\u201d\u00a0<\/em>(Fraticelli).\u00a0<\/em>Fraticelli\u2019s explanations and\u00a0instruction\u00a0about\u00a0drafting\u00a0these reports and notes on a\u00a0detailed\u00a0level show\u00a0how crucial this part of the profession is.\u00a0This can allow not only the\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapist themselves to have a better understanding of what is the situation with the patient is, but also other health professionals involved in the patient\u2019s care and how they are able to translate that into their practice.\r\n\r\nThese reports\u00a0obviously\u00a0can be done in many ways\u00a0depending on what setting the Physical\u00a0Therapist is in and what the patient\u2019s situation is.\u00a0This is relevant to the point of how\u00a0this field in healthcare has a very specific job yet there are many different\u00a0settings\u00a0and\u00a0discourses\u00a0involved within it. In the article\u00a0\u201c6 Different types of Physical Therapy\u201d on\u00a0Movement for Life Physical Therapy,\u00a0<\/em>it broadly goes over the different areas of focus in Physical Therapy and the\u00a0certain things that need to be looked at differently when working in that focused setting.\r\n\r\nThe first\u00a0type of Physical Therapy the article discusses is\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0pediatric setting.\u00a0The article explains the job of the Physical\u00a0Therapist in this setting, \u201cChildhood is a time when the body grows very fast, and problems in childhood can have a negative effect on the rest of a person\u2019s life...often teaching them movement types and ranges of movement which they may never have experienced\u00a0before\u201d (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018). This shows the significance of how working with a certain age\u00a0demographic, specifically children\u00a0requires\u00a0a different type of communication between the Physical\u00a0Therapist and the\u00a0patient.\u00a0Although it is the complete opposite, the next type of Physical Therapy discussed which is Geriatric Physical Therapy has the same principle of working with a particular age demographic and\u00a0approaching certain situations in\u00a0different ways. The article explains\u00a0the\u00a0specific\u00a0approach when looking at this particular area of focus \u201cbut as we get older, we may notice more problems, as our muscles stop being strong enough to compensate as they have in the past. Geriatric physical therapy is about taking steps to use the muscles you have in a way which is\u00a0more efficient and\u00a0safe, and\u00a0is less likely to lead to injuries\u201d (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018).\u00a0Comparing the two age demographics, Both Pediatrics and\u00a0Geriatrics\u00a0are both learning new movements\u00a0but in the\u00a0Geriatric\u00a0setting, the patients\u00a0have to\u00a0relearn the way they move and do something different from what they have been doing their whole lives. This requires a different approach on the Physical Therapists part to look at the situation differently and plan out the care from a different avenue.\r\n\r\nThe other\u00a0discourses discussed in this article are less focused on age demographic and more focused on\u00a0recovery from specific issues with the body. The first type presented is Vestibular Physical Therapy.\u00a0The article goes into more depth about the focus, \u201cVestibular rehabilitation<\/a>\u00a0focuses on helping you to overcome problems of the inner ear which can destroy your balance and be seriously debilitating, including chronic dizziness and\u00a0vertigo<\/a>. Physical therapy can help you to teach your body to have better balance and use its muscles to be steadier and sturdier\u201d (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018).\u00a0This\u00a0specfic\u00a0area of focus in the field of Physical Therapy and the others that will be presented, may require\u00a0working with several types of Health Professionals that focus on specific health issues.\u00a0This can be applied to the next discourse of Physical Therapy discussed in this article which is Neurological Physical\u00a0Therapy. This discourse focuses on caring for patients with issues that have to do with the brain making the body function (6 Different\u00a0Types of Physical Therapy 2018).\u00a0It is crucial for the Physical Therapists to be able to communicate with Health Professionals like\u00a0Neurologists\u00a0that are working\u00a0with\u00a0the\u00a0patient\u00a0to\u00a0supply\u00a0the most quality and\u00a0efficient\u00a0care.\u00a0This is the same with the next discourse\u00a0of Orthopedic Physical Therapy. The article talks about the\u00a0purpose\u00a0of this type, \u201cOrthopedic\u00a0physical therapy<\/a>\u00a0is designed to help you to recover muscle strength, as you might need to after an injury has left you unable to use certain muscles\u201d (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018). Working with orthopedic\u00a0surgeons and understanding where the patient is coming from in their care is crucial for\u00a0assessing\u00a0the situation and\u00a0making a plan\u00a0for them. Cardiologists and Health Professionals working specifically with issues\u00a0of\u00a0the heart\u00a0are going to be working with the Physical Therapists in the final discourse\u00a0of Cardiovascular\/Pulmonary Physical Therapy (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018).\u00a0All of\u00a0these discourses presented in the article are what a future Physical Therapist or a current Physical Therapist should be familiar with in order to give the patient a quality\u00a0plan to improve their health.\r\n\r\nNot only understanding where the patient is coming from in their healthcare\u00a0and communicating with other health professionals, but also from there being able to\u00a0communicate with the patient themselves is as just as important to improving their health and looking at\u00a0different ways\u00a0to approach their care.\u00a0In the article\u00a0\u201cThe Added Value of Therapist Communication on the Effect of Physical Therapy Treatment in Older Adults; a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.\u201d,\u00a0Sandra\u00a0Lakke\u00a0et. al., discusses\u00a0the effects of communication between the Physical Therapist and the Patient. They\u00a0specifically\u00a0wanted to\u00a0find out\u00a0if more communication between the\u00a0patient\u00a0and the Physical Therapist will increase the patients\u00a0amount of being physically active (Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0Al.\u00a03).\u00a0This study was conducted by doing a meta-analysis where they collected multiple studies done to\u00a0conclude their findings.\u00a0The journal briefly gives an overall\u00a0idea of how the study would be conducted, \u201cFor the first selection of studies, one researcher (SL) performed an electronic search and screened the titles for potentially relevant studies. Two researchers (SL and MF) screened the abstracts for the second selection\u201d (Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al.\u00a05).\u00a0Their conclusions to this study were not necessarily consistent with the hypothesis made. They could not\u00a0necessarily\u00a0find a direct correlation between communication\u00a0of\u00a0the Physical Therapist and patient\u00a0to translate to\u00a0the patient becoming more physically active(Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al. 12).\u00a0They were able to conclude that\u00a0there were changes in physical activity when they used generalization in practice (Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al. 12). The article goes into more detail\u00a0regarding\u00a0this,\u00a0\u201cWhen separated in BCT-categories, the only behavior change technique that was effective on older adult\u2019s perceived physical activity was\u00a0Generalisation\u00a0of target behavior (i.e., giving confidence and reinforcing transition of exercise to activities of daily living)\u201d\u00a0(Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al. 12).\u00a0The article also gives a recommendation about applying these conclusions into the practice, \u201cit is recommended that physical therapists add behavior change techniques to interventions with older adults when the aim of treatment is to increase self-reported physical activity\u201d (Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al. 12).\u00a0This study shows the significance of communication in a general sense with the patient. It\u00a0represents\u00a0that being able to\u00a0provide\u00a0motivation and give the\u00a0patient confidence can allow greater success in their recovery by doing exercises on their own.\r\n\r\nBuilding\u00a0a\u00a0relationship with the patient is important for Physical Therapists\u00a0to do\u00a0in order to\u00a0improve the quality of treatment. New factors\u00a0in our world today due to the COVID-19 pandemic can make that part of the job\u00a0exceedingly difficult\u00a0for them\u00a0to do.\u00a0Becoming more creative about how appointments are carried out so that they are as safe as possible is another element that comes into play\u00a0when working as a Physical Therapist and in the health field in general.\u00a0In the article,\u00a0\u201cPhysical Therapist Management of Patients\u00a0With\u00a0or Recovering\u00a0From\u00a0COVID-19\", the\u00a0American Physical Therapy Association\u00a0<\/em>goes over the\u00a0specifics\u00a0of the steps that need to be taken when a patient comes to a\u00a0practice.\u00a0In the article it says, \u201cAll health care providers are at some risk for exposure to COVID-19, whether in the workplace or in the community. Providers in any risk exposure category (high, medium, low, or no risk) who develop signs or symptoms compatible with COVID-19 must contact their established point of contact\u201d\u00a0(American Physical Therapy Association).\u00a0<\/em>This is significant because it shows that there is a risk for a Physical Therapist and the patient to be present for an\u00a0appointment which can make it difficult for\u00a0the treatment to be carried out on a consistent basis.\u00a0The article also discusses the certain precautions that the practice needs to take\u00a0in order to\u00a0make the experience for the individual going there to be as safe as possible, \u201cEvaluate your treatment and waiting room space design to ensure that patients are always a minimum of six feet apart from one another\u201d (American Physical Therapy Association).\u00a0<\/em>It also talks about other precautions that\u00a0need to be taken like cleaning surfaces multiple times throughout the day, taking temperatures, wearing face masks and many other courses of action to ensure safety (American Physical Therapy Association).\u00a0<\/em>The article also briefly talks about Physical\u00a0Therapists working in a home health environment and how that is\u00a0impacted\u00a0by the pandemic. The article gives the point of making sure the patient is informed that telehealth and virtual visits are available to them if they choose to do so\u00a0(American Physical Therapy Association).\u00a0<\/em>The\u00a0overarching\u00a0theme of this article is not only relevant to being a Physical\u00a0Therapists\u00a0during this time but also being a health professional in general and the obstacles that they face\u00a0to care for patients. Having to do things differently like being more virtual than having in-person visits with them can affect the relationship that is made between\u00a0the patient and the Physical Therapists which can become challenging\u00a0over time.\r\n\r\nBeing able to build the relationship between the Physical Therapist and the patient\u00a0requires\u00a0much more than\u00a0directly communicating with them but also\u00a0knowing\u00a0where they are coming from and who else in the\u00a0health\u00a0field cared for them prior.\u00a0Understanding what the other health professionals are doing to contribute to the care for\u00a0them and being able to work with those\u00a0professionals\u00a0will help you develop a better course of action for the care that you will provide. This recognition and understanding of the jobs in the field other than yours, is Interprofessional\u00a0Education (IPE).\u00a0Teamwork is valued in the medical field and IPE is crucial to the success of a Physical Therapist and many others as well.\u00a0This literal translation of this idea of IPE is expressed in the article \u201cHow PT,\u00a0OT\u00a0Work Together to Help Memorial Regional Health Patients Heal\u201d,\u00a0by\u00a0memorial regional health.\u00a0<\/em>Even though\u00a0this article puts this idea into the context of their specific hospital,\u00a0it still gives a notable example of how it can be applied in\u00a0the\u00a0professional setting.\u00a0In the article it says,\u00a0\u201cFor example, with a hip replacement, a physical therapist works on ambulation, muscle strengthening and balance, while an occupational therapist works on teaching patients how to dress with limited movement, deciding what supportive equipment they need during recovery and adapting their dressing, bathing, toileting and grooming habits during recovery\u201d\u00a0(memorial regional health).\u00a0<\/em>This general and basic example gives an example that is easy to understand to people who are not as\u00a0informed about this certain topic. This also gives us a specific look at how these two professions work together\u00a0on a daily basis\u00a0and the similarities and differences between them.\u00a0The\u00a0artice\u00a0also mentions the common goal of the two\u00a0profeessions, \u201cAll therapy disciplines work together to help find the meaning behind the healing process. For example,\u00a0PTs\u00a0work on helping a person relearn to walk, and\u00a0OTs\u00a0helps\u00a0the patient return to their daily occupations with as much independence as possible. OTs and PTs write goals together with the patient, as this is the\u00a0optimal\u00a0way to achieve success in therapy\u201d (memorial regional health<\/em>).\u00a0The message that the article is conveying to the audience is that it takes a team to give a patient\u00a0good care\u00a0and that the best way for that team to function is to work together. A part of this is to understand what your\u00a0teammate\u00a0is doing so you can have a better understanding of what you are doing to contribute to the common goal.\u00a0These skills are something that every health professional should\u00a0have,\u00a0especially\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapists,\u00a0when\u00a0entering\u00a0the\u00a0medical field.\r\n\r\nBecause of the\u00a0high demand for having these IPE skills are very prominent\u00a0in the health field today, many health professional programs are incorporating\u00a0education in these skills throughout the curriculum to better prepare the students for the workforce.\u00a0The\u00a0journal\u00a0\"Student experiences of interprofessional simulation: findings from a qualitative study\" by Margaret Costello\u00a0et. al.\u00a0gives an idea\u00a0to the audience of what DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) students think\u00a0of learning about Interprofessional Education.\u00a0The study that was\u00a0conducted asked students to freely express their opinions about what their opinions were of IPE\u00a0exercises (Costello et.\u00a0al.\u00a02).\u00a0The overall theme of the findings in the study were that students supported it. In the article, Costello et. al. Reflects on the feedback from the students,\u00a0\u201cThese feelings\u00a0indicate\u00a0that IPS increased\u00a0stu- dent knowledge of the role of other health professions, and thus may improve their ability to work in an\u00a0interprofes-\u00a0sional\u00a0team\u201d (Costello et.\u00a0al. 2).\u00a0The article also discusses the fact that these\u00a0exercises\u00a0allow students\u00a0be\u00a0more confident in themselves in practice (Costello et.\u00a0al. 2).\u00a0This study\u00a0provides\u00a0support to the hypothesis that IPE experiences are beneficial for DPT students by presenting overall opinions\u00a0regarding\u00a0this subject.\r\n\r\nThe next sources look at DPT student\u00a0experiences as well but look at studies\u00a0regarding\u00a0specific IPE experiences.\u00a0In the article \u201cStudents\u2019 motivation for interprofessional collaboration after their experience on an IPE ward: A qualitative analysis framed by self-determination theory.\u201d,\u00a0\u00a0Cora\u00a0LF Visser et. al.\u00a0conduct\u00a0a study where multiple health professional students\u00a0are put in\u00a0a\u00a0IPE ward and are to work as a team to care for real patients (Visser et.\u00a0al.\u00a02).\u00a0Students were then interviewed\u00a0on\u00a0their experiences in the IPE ward and those\u00a0respeonses\u00a0were used as the data for this study (Visser et.\u00a0al.\u00a03). The journal discusses the outcome of the study, \u201cFrom the ana- lysis of the interviews with the students and the supervisors, we conclude that it was the overall set-up of the IPE ward that enhanced the autonomy, not simply the responsibility or type of supervision (Visser et.\u00a0al.\u00a07). This shows the significance of these IPE\u00a0exercises\u00a0and how they build good\u00a0teamwork\u00a0skills\u00a0for future health professionals.\u00a0The article also looks at how this study\u00a0specfically\u00a0benefited for DPT students,\u00a0\u201cFor the physical therapy students and the pharmacy students: their professional per-\u00a0spective\u00a0was\u00a0relatively unknown\u00a0to the other students. Being able to add their professional insights in the patient- care meeting added to their feeling of competence and autonomy, because they could offer information rather than wait for the question or consultation\u201d (Visser et.\u00a0al. 7). Since other health professionals were not as educated in what the Physical Therapy Students jobs were, it shows the importance of\u00a0having\u00a0these activities. By doing this, everybody is more educated\u00a0on\u00a0what\u00a0each other's jobs are so that when they go into\u00a0a\u00a0professional environment, they are more prepared.\r\n\r\nThe article \u201cDoes Mode Matter? Perception of Student Competence Following an IPE Communication Experience.\u201d\u00a0by\u00a0Sherman, Erica, et al.\u00a0also looks at a specific IPE experience with Health professional students.\u00a0In the article they discuss the test that was used for this\u00a0study, \u201cThe Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Survey-Revised (ICCAS-R) was used to gather data about students\u2019 perceived competency both before and after the communication\u00a0activ-\u00a0ity\" (Sherman et.\u00a0al. 2). This test was used before and after\u00a0the IPE study was conducted. (Sherman et.\u00a0al. 2).\u00a0The results of the study presented an increase in scores for ICCAS-R after the IPE experience in both\u00a0audio\u00a0and video\u00a0setting (Sherman et.\u00a0al.\u00a04).\u00a0This study is significant because it shows that just by having one IPE experience, health professional students\u00a0can\u00a0gain so much knowledge about the rest of the health field. A common theme between studies is that many health professionals do not fully understand the job of a Physical\u00a0Therapist.\u00a0By having more activities throughout all health profession programs, it can allow more students\u00a0to have knowledge of what a Physical Therapist does\u00a0so that they can value their input and knowledge when it comes to a real-life practice\u00a0setting.\r\n\r\nThere are many diverse components of the career of Physical Therapy and in the context of literacy.\u00a0Writing is used\u00a0on a daily basis\u00a0when making progress reports and evaluation notes. Communication between the\u00a0Physical\u00a0therapist and the patient is\u00a0a crucial factor\u00a0in\u00a0the job and can dictate the quality of\u00a0care for the patient. It is also important to be able to communicate and have knowledge of the\u00a0other\u00a0health professionals that you are working with when a patient has\u00a0a\u00a0particular health issue.\u00a0The best way to do this is through interprofessional education and doing\u00a0activities\u00a0where the\u00a0medical\u00a0professionals are\u00a0together\u00a0for a common goal. The\u00a0foundation of the medical field is teamwork. These professionals\u00a0have to\u00a0put themselves aside to work toward the common goal which\u00a0to\u00a0give the patient the best care possible. Without communication and understanding the big picture of\u00a0the job, the result will be inadequate quality.\u00a0People who choose Physical\u00a0Therapy are caring, knowledgeable, and are good problem solvers.\u00a0They\u00a0can\u00a0use these qualities in a teamwork setting to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the medical field overall.\r\n

April 2021<\/h3>\n

When you think of the profession of Physical Therapy,\u00a0what are the images or things that you first think of?\u00a0You probably think of somebody walking a patient through\u00a0exercises. Maybe you\u00a0think of the work environment that\u00a0they practice in. You may also think about what a\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapist would wear for their uniform. These are probably things that most people think about when they\u00a0hear\u00a0that profession. Most of these things are very true, but they\u00a0only scrape the surface of what a Physical Therapist does\u00a0on a daily basis\u00a0and the other well-rounded\u00a0skills they need to succeed.\u00a0For my final research essay, I will continue to look at my major of Physical Therapy and discuss how the elements in the world of literacy can be translated into a specific career field. There are so many skills used in Physical Therapy that do not just pertain to it specifically, but also skills that are practical in every professional setting. This is what makes this career so unique that you must be a well-rounded individual in general. One of the most significant aspects of this\u00a0particular career\u00a0choice is that you\u00a0have to\u00a0work\u00a0really well\u00a0in a team dynamic. This could be with other Physical Therapists or even different health professionals depending on what setting of practice you are in. In order to work well with other people in your team, not only do you need to understand your job, but you also need to understand what other people\u2019s jobs and roles are. This creates a more cohesive team between the group and translates to more efficiency. This understanding of each other\u2019s roles within a team is called Interprofessional Education (IPE).\u00a0My final research essay will take a closer look at how IPE is involved in the health field but also looking specifically at how physical therapists are involved within different health settings in the context\u00a0of IPE.<\/p>\n

As I have mentioned before, Pre-Physical Therapy is what I am majoring\u00a0in\u00a0and this profession is something that I have known what I have wanted to do for a long time.\u00a0Obviously,\u00a0anybody\u00a0studying\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapy\u00a0finds\u00a0interest\u00a0in\u00a0how the body moves and works in\u00a0general, but I find the career much more interesting for many other reasons.\u00a0One of them is being able to assist people when they are at a time in their lives when they need help.\u00a0I would of course find that part of the job very rewarding\u00a0and give me a sense of purpose that I am going to work every day to help change people’s lives.\u00a0Even though those are major components of why I want to be a Physical Therapist, I still have one\u00a0major\u00a0reason that interests me so much. It\u2019s\u00a0the\u00a0fact that it is such a\u00a0specific\u00a0practice and pertains to a fraction of the medical\u00a0sciences,\u00a0yet it can be so applicable to many settings in the field itself and in life in general.\u00a0It just shows how important it is to take care of our bodies and\u00a0understanding what you do daily can influence it.\u00a0Picking this topic allowed\u00a0me\u00a0to look deeper into those aspects of the profession and answer questions that\u00a0myself\u00a0and many others have\u00a0about it.<\/p>\n

Using these questions\u00a0presented will allow me to be able to have those answers about Physical Therapy and be able to take a closer look at the profession instead of seeing it at face value.\u00a0My questions that I will discuss in my essay are \u201cHow is literacy involved in Physical Therapy and writing evaluation notes and progress reports?\u201d.\u00a0A lot of writing goes into being a\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapist because it is their responsibility to make evaluations\u00a0on\u00a0the patient and to do that you must be able to correctly write reports.\u00a0Another question that will be asked is \u201cHow does communication between Physical Therapists and Doctors or other medical professionals affect how work is done in practice?\u201d. This goes along with the other question \u201cHow is IPE involved with everyday practice for Physical Therapists and for the education of DPT students?\u201d. These both revolve around the idea\u00a0on\u00a0how Physical therapists are\u00a0involved in the health care setting in the context of IPE. My other questions are \u201cHow much does communication between the Physical Therapist and the patient affect the relationship between them?\u201d, \u201cAre discourse different in each specific area of practice in Physical Therapy? If so, how are they different?\u201d,\u00a0 \u201cHow does the education in DPT (Doctor Physical Therapy) prepare Physical Therapists for the practice environment?\u201d.\u00a0Being able to look at Physical Therapy\u00a0with\u00a0different perspectives and contexts will lead to a better understanding of\u00a0what the overall job and\u00a0purpose\u00a0is of the career.<\/p>\n

Although people do not associate writing with Physical Therapy,\u00a0it\u00a0is\u00a0incredibly significant\u00a0in the day-to-day practices of a Physical\u00a0Therapist and is one of the aspects of the profession that\u00a0people tend to look past when understanding it.\u00a0A\u00a0portion\u00a0of the writing done in Physical Therapy is through writing evaluation assessments for patients. In the article \u201cPhysical Therapy Assessment Documentation: 3 Tips & Examples\u201d,\u00a0the author\u00a0Tim Fraticelli\u2019s target audience is to other\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapists in the field that may be new to\u00a0the day-to-day practices. He gives in-depth tips\u00a0to\u00a0formatting evaluation notes and other forms of writing that\u00a0is\u00a0done in the profession.\u00a0Fraticelli explains\u00a0to the reader about how daily notes are supposed to be done and goes into specific detail regarding this topic \u201cYou don\u2019t need to write a paragraph for this type of\u00a0documentation, but\u00a0being too brief could diminish important aspects of your skilled assessment. Focus on the key elements you worked on in the session. If you targeted balance training, your assessment should reflect\u00a0why\u201d\u00a0<\/em>(Fraticelli).\u00a0<\/em>Fraticelli\u2019s explanations and\u00a0instruction\u00a0about\u00a0drafting\u00a0these reports and notes on a\u00a0detailed\u00a0level show\u00a0how crucial this part of the profession is.\u00a0This can allow not only the\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapist themselves to have a better understanding of what is the situation with the patient is, but also other health professionals involved in the patient\u2019s care and how they are able to translate that into their practice.<\/p>\n

These reports\u00a0obviously\u00a0can be done in many ways\u00a0depending on what setting the Physical\u00a0Therapist is in and what the patient\u2019s situation is.\u00a0This is relevant to the point of how\u00a0this field in healthcare has a very specific job yet there are many different\u00a0settings\u00a0and\u00a0discourses\u00a0involved within it. In the article\u00a0\u201c6 Different types of Physical Therapy\u201d on\u00a0Movement for Life Physical Therapy,\u00a0<\/em>it broadly goes over the different areas of focus in Physical Therapy and the\u00a0certain things that need to be looked at differently when working in that focused setting.<\/p>\n

The first\u00a0type of Physical Therapy the article discusses is\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0pediatric setting.\u00a0The article explains the job of the Physical\u00a0Therapist in this setting, \u201cChildhood is a time when the body grows very fast, and problems in childhood can have a negative effect on the rest of a person\u2019s life…often teaching them movement types and ranges of movement which they may never have experienced\u00a0before\u201d (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018). This shows the significance of how working with a certain age\u00a0demographic, specifically children\u00a0requires\u00a0a different type of communication between the Physical\u00a0Therapist and the\u00a0patient.\u00a0Although it is the complete opposite, the next type of Physical Therapy discussed which is Geriatric Physical Therapy has the same principle of working with a particular age demographic and\u00a0approaching certain situations in\u00a0different ways. The article explains\u00a0the\u00a0specific\u00a0approach when looking at this particular area of focus \u201cbut as we get older, we may notice more problems, as our muscles stop being strong enough to compensate as they have in the past. Geriatric physical therapy is about taking steps to use the muscles you have in a way which is\u00a0more efficient and\u00a0safe, and\u00a0is less likely to lead to injuries\u201d (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018).\u00a0Comparing the two age demographics, Both Pediatrics and\u00a0Geriatrics\u00a0are both learning new movements\u00a0but in the\u00a0Geriatric\u00a0setting, the patients\u00a0have to\u00a0relearn the way they move and do something different from what they have been doing their whole lives. This requires a different approach on the Physical Therapists part to look at the situation differently and plan out the care from a different avenue.<\/p>\n

The other\u00a0discourses discussed in this article are less focused on age demographic and more focused on\u00a0recovery from specific issues with the body. The first type presented is Vestibular Physical Therapy.\u00a0The article goes into more depth about the focus, \u201cVestibular rehabilitation<\/a>\u00a0focuses on helping you to overcome problems of the inner ear which can destroy your balance and be seriously debilitating, including chronic dizziness and\u00a0vertigo<\/a>. Physical therapy can help you to teach your body to have better balance and use its muscles to be steadier and sturdier\u201d (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018).\u00a0This\u00a0specfic\u00a0area of focus in the field of Physical Therapy and the others that will be presented, may require\u00a0working with several types of Health Professionals that focus on specific health issues.\u00a0This can be applied to the next discourse of Physical Therapy discussed in this article which is Neurological Physical\u00a0Therapy. This discourse focuses on caring for patients with issues that have to do with the brain making the body function (6 Different\u00a0Types of Physical Therapy 2018).\u00a0It is crucial for the Physical Therapists to be able to communicate with Health Professionals like\u00a0Neurologists\u00a0that are working\u00a0with\u00a0the\u00a0patient\u00a0to\u00a0supply\u00a0the most quality and\u00a0efficient\u00a0care.\u00a0This is the same with the next discourse\u00a0of Orthopedic Physical Therapy. The article talks about the\u00a0purpose\u00a0of this type, \u201cOrthopedic\u00a0physical therapy<\/a>\u00a0is designed to help you to recover muscle strength, as you might need to after an injury has left you unable to use certain muscles\u201d (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018). Working with orthopedic\u00a0surgeons and understanding where the patient is coming from in their care is crucial for\u00a0assessing\u00a0the situation and\u00a0making a plan\u00a0for them. Cardiologists and Health Professionals working specifically with issues\u00a0of\u00a0the heart\u00a0are going to be working with the Physical Therapists in the final discourse\u00a0of Cardiovascular\/Pulmonary Physical Therapy (6 Different Types of Physical Therapy 2018).\u00a0All of\u00a0these discourses presented in the article are what a future Physical Therapist or a current Physical Therapist should be familiar with in order to give the patient a quality\u00a0plan to improve their health.<\/p>\n

Not only understanding where the patient is coming from in their healthcare\u00a0and communicating with other health professionals, but also from there being able to\u00a0communicate with the patient themselves is as just as important to improving their health and looking at\u00a0different ways\u00a0to approach their care.\u00a0In the article\u00a0\u201cThe Added Value of Therapist Communication on the Effect of Physical Therapy Treatment in Older Adults; a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.\u201d,\u00a0Sandra\u00a0Lakke\u00a0et. al., discusses\u00a0the effects of communication between the Physical Therapist and the Patient. They\u00a0specifically\u00a0wanted to\u00a0find out\u00a0if more communication between the\u00a0patient\u00a0and the Physical Therapist will increase the patients\u00a0amount of being physically active (Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0Al.\u00a03).\u00a0This study was conducted by doing a meta-analysis where they collected multiple studies done to\u00a0conclude their findings.\u00a0The journal briefly gives an overall\u00a0idea of how the study would be conducted, \u201cFor the first selection of studies, one researcher (SL) performed an electronic search and screened the titles for potentially relevant studies. Two researchers (SL and MF) screened the abstracts for the second selection\u201d (Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al.\u00a05).\u00a0Their conclusions to this study were not necessarily consistent with the hypothesis made. They could not\u00a0necessarily\u00a0find a direct correlation between communication\u00a0of\u00a0the Physical Therapist and patient\u00a0to translate to\u00a0the patient becoming more physically active(Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al. 12).\u00a0They were able to conclude that\u00a0there were changes in physical activity when they used generalization in practice (Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al. 12). The article goes into more detail\u00a0regarding\u00a0this,\u00a0\u201cWhen separated in BCT-categories, the only behavior change technique that was effective on older adult\u2019s perceived physical activity was\u00a0Generalisation\u00a0of target behavior (i.e., giving confidence and reinforcing transition of exercise to activities of daily living)\u201d\u00a0(Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al. 12).\u00a0The article also gives a recommendation about applying these conclusions into the practice, \u201cit is recommended that physical therapists add behavior change techniques to interventions with older adults when the aim of treatment is to increase self-reported physical activity\u201d (Lakke\u00a0et.\u00a0al. 12).\u00a0This study shows the significance of communication in a general sense with the patient. It\u00a0represents\u00a0that being able to\u00a0provide\u00a0motivation and give the\u00a0patient confidence can allow greater success in their recovery by doing exercises on their own.<\/p>\n

Building\u00a0a\u00a0relationship with the patient is important for Physical Therapists\u00a0to do\u00a0in order to\u00a0improve the quality of treatment. New factors\u00a0in our world today due to the COVID-19 pandemic can make that part of the job\u00a0exceedingly difficult\u00a0for them\u00a0to do.\u00a0Becoming more creative about how appointments are carried out so that they are as safe as possible is another element that comes into play\u00a0when working as a Physical Therapist and in the health field in general.\u00a0In the article,\u00a0\u201cPhysical Therapist Management of Patients\u00a0With\u00a0or Recovering\u00a0From\u00a0COVID-19″, the\u00a0American Physical Therapy Association\u00a0<\/em>goes over the\u00a0specifics\u00a0of the steps that need to be taken when a patient comes to a\u00a0practice.\u00a0In the article it says, \u201cAll health care providers are at some risk for exposure to COVID-19, whether in the workplace or in the community. Providers in any risk exposure category (high, medium, low, or no risk) who develop signs or symptoms compatible with COVID-19 must contact their established point of contact\u201d\u00a0(American Physical Therapy Association).\u00a0<\/em>This is significant because it shows that there is a risk for a Physical Therapist and the patient to be present for an\u00a0appointment which can make it difficult for\u00a0the treatment to be carried out on a consistent basis.\u00a0The article also discusses the certain precautions that the practice needs to take\u00a0in order to\u00a0make the experience for the individual going there to be as safe as possible, \u201cEvaluate your treatment and waiting room space design to ensure that patients are always a minimum of six feet apart from one another\u201d (American Physical Therapy Association).\u00a0<\/em>It also talks about other precautions that\u00a0need to be taken like cleaning surfaces multiple times throughout the day, taking temperatures, wearing face masks and many other courses of action to ensure safety (American Physical Therapy Association).\u00a0<\/em>The article also briefly talks about Physical\u00a0Therapists working in a home health environment and how that is\u00a0impacted\u00a0by the pandemic. The article gives the point of making sure the patient is informed that telehealth and virtual visits are available to them if they choose to do so\u00a0(American Physical Therapy Association).\u00a0<\/em>The\u00a0overarching\u00a0theme of this article is not only relevant to being a Physical\u00a0Therapists\u00a0during this time but also being a health professional in general and the obstacles that they face\u00a0to care for patients. Having to do things differently like being more virtual than having in-person visits with them can affect the relationship that is made between\u00a0the patient and the Physical Therapists which can become challenging\u00a0over time.<\/p>\n

Being able to build the relationship between the Physical Therapist and the patient\u00a0requires\u00a0much more than\u00a0directly communicating with them but also\u00a0knowing\u00a0where they are coming from and who else in the\u00a0health\u00a0field cared for them prior.\u00a0Understanding what the other health professionals are doing to contribute to the care for\u00a0them and being able to work with those\u00a0professionals\u00a0will help you develop a better course of action for the care that you will provide. This recognition and understanding of the jobs in the field other than yours, is Interprofessional\u00a0Education (IPE).\u00a0Teamwork is valued in the medical field and IPE is crucial to the success of a Physical Therapist and many others as well.\u00a0This literal translation of this idea of IPE is expressed in the article \u201cHow PT,\u00a0OT\u00a0Work Together to Help Memorial Regional Health Patients Heal\u201d,\u00a0by\u00a0memorial regional health.\u00a0<\/em>Even though\u00a0this article puts this idea into the context of their specific hospital,\u00a0it still gives a notable example of how it can be applied in\u00a0the\u00a0professional setting.\u00a0In the article it says,\u00a0\u201cFor example, with a hip replacement, a physical therapist works on ambulation, muscle strengthening and balance, while an occupational therapist works on teaching patients how to dress with limited movement, deciding what supportive equipment they need during recovery and adapting their dressing, bathing, toileting and grooming habits during recovery\u201d\u00a0(memorial regional health).\u00a0<\/em>This general and basic example gives an example that is easy to understand to people who are not as\u00a0informed about this certain topic. This also gives us a specific look at how these two professions work together\u00a0on a daily basis\u00a0and the similarities and differences between them.\u00a0The\u00a0artice\u00a0also mentions the common goal of the two\u00a0profeessions, \u201cAll therapy disciplines work together to help find the meaning behind the healing process. For example,\u00a0PTs\u00a0work on helping a person relearn to walk, and\u00a0OTs\u00a0helps\u00a0the patient return to their daily occupations with as much independence as possible. OTs and PTs write goals together with the patient, as this is the\u00a0optimal\u00a0way to achieve success in therapy\u201d (memorial regional health<\/em>).\u00a0The message that the article is conveying to the audience is that it takes a team to give a patient\u00a0good care\u00a0and that the best way for that team to function is to work together. A part of this is to understand what your\u00a0teammate\u00a0is doing so you can have a better understanding of what you are doing to contribute to the common goal.\u00a0These skills are something that every health professional should\u00a0have,\u00a0especially\u00a0Physical\u00a0Therapists,\u00a0when\u00a0entering\u00a0the\u00a0medical field.<\/p>\n

Because of the\u00a0high demand for having these IPE skills are very prominent\u00a0in the health field today, many health professional programs are incorporating\u00a0education in these skills throughout the curriculum to better prepare the students for the workforce.\u00a0The\u00a0journal\u00a0“Student experiences of interprofessional simulation: findings from a qualitative study” by Margaret Costello\u00a0et. al.\u00a0gives an idea\u00a0to the audience of what DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) students think\u00a0of learning about Interprofessional Education.\u00a0The study that was\u00a0conducted asked students to freely express their opinions about what their opinions were of IPE\u00a0exercises (Costello et.\u00a0al.\u00a02).\u00a0The overall theme of the findings in the study were that students supported it. In the article, Costello et. al. Reflects on the feedback from the students,\u00a0\u201cThese feelings\u00a0indicate\u00a0that IPS increased\u00a0stu- dent knowledge of the role of other health professions, and thus may improve their ability to work in an\u00a0interprofes-\u00a0sional\u00a0team\u201d (Costello et.\u00a0al. 2).\u00a0The article also discusses the fact that these\u00a0exercises\u00a0allow students\u00a0be\u00a0more confident in themselves in practice (Costello et.\u00a0al. 2).\u00a0This study\u00a0provides\u00a0support to the hypothesis that IPE experiences are beneficial for DPT students by presenting overall opinions\u00a0regarding\u00a0this subject.<\/p>\n

The next sources look at DPT student\u00a0experiences as well but look at studies\u00a0regarding\u00a0specific IPE experiences.\u00a0In the article \u201cStudents\u2019 motivation for interprofessional collaboration after their experience on an IPE ward: A qualitative analysis framed by self-determination theory.\u201d,\u00a0\u00a0Cora\u00a0LF Visser et. al.\u00a0conduct\u00a0a study where multiple health professional students\u00a0are put in\u00a0a\u00a0IPE ward and are to work as a team to care for real patients (Visser et.\u00a0al.\u00a02).\u00a0Students were then interviewed\u00a0on\u00a0their experiences in the IPE ward and those\u00a0respeonses\u00a0were used as the data for this study (Visser et.\u00a0al.\u00a03). The journal discusses the outcome of the study, \u201cFrom the ana- lysis of the interviews with the students and the supervisors, we conclude that it was the overall set-up of the IPE ward that enhanced the autonomy, not simply the responsibility or type of supervision (Visser et.\u00a0al.\u00a07). This shows the significance of these IPE\u00a0exercises\u00a0and how they build good\u00a0teamwork\u00a0skills\u00a0for future health professionals.\u00a0The article also looks at how this study\u00a0specfically\u00a0benefited for DPT students,\u00a0\u201cFor the physical therapy students and the pharmacy students: their professional per-\u00a0spective\u00a0was\u00a0relatively unknown\u00a0to the other students. Being able to add their professional insights in the patient- care meeting added to their feeling of competence and autonomy, because they could offer information rather than wait for the question or consultation\u201d (Visser et.\u00a0al. 7). Since other health professionals were not as educated in what the Physical Therapy Students jobs were, it shows the importance of\u00a0having\u00a0these activities. By doing this, everybody is more educated\u00a0on\u00a0what\u00a0each other’s jobs are so that when they go into\u00a0a\u00a0professional environment, they are more prepared.<\/p>\n

The article \u201cDoes Mode Matter? Perception of Student Competence Following an IPE Communication Experience.\u201d\u00a0by\u00a0Sherman, Erica, et al.\u00a0also looks at a specific IPE experience with Health professional students.\u00a0In the article they discuss the test that was used for this\u00a0study, \u201cThe Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Survey-Revised (ICCAS-R) was used to gather data about students\u2019 perceived competency both before and after the communication\u00a0activ-\u00a0ity” (Sherman et.\u00a0al. 2). This test was used before and after\u00a0the IPE study was conducted. (Sherman et.\u00a0al. 2).\u00a0The results of the study presented an increase in scores for ICCAS-R after the IPE experience in both\u00a0audio\u00a0and video\u00a0setting (Sherman et.\u00a0al.\u00a04).\u00a0This study is significant because it shows that just by having one IPE experience, health professional students\u00a0can\u00a0gain so much knowledge about the rest of the health field. A common theme between studies is that many health professionals do not fully understand the job of a Physical\u00a0Therapist.\u00a0By having more activities throughout all health profession programs, it can allow more students\u00a0to have knowledge of what a Physical Therapist does\u00a0so that they can value their input and knowledge when it comes to a real-life practice\u00a0setting.<\/p>\n

There are many diverse components of the career of Physical Therapy and in the context of literacy.\u00a0Writing is used\u00a0on a daily basis\u00a0when making progress reports and evaluation notes. Communication between the\u00a0Physical\u00a0therapist and the patient is\u00a0a crucial factor\u00a0in\u00a0the job and can dictate the quality of\u00a0care for the patient. It is also important to be able to communicate and have knowledge of the\u00a0other\u00a0health professionals that you are working with when a patient has\u00a0a\u00a0particular health issue.\u00a0The best way to do this is through interprofessional education and doing\u00a0activities\u00a0where the\u00a0medical\u00a0professionals are\u00a0together\u00a0for a common goal. The\u00a0foundation of the medical field is teamwork. These professionals\u00a0have to\u00a0put themselves aside to work toward the common goal which\u00a0to\u00a0give the patient the best care possible. Without communication and understanding the big picture of\u00a0the job, the result will be inadequate quality.\u00a0People who choose Physical\u00a0Therapy are caring, knowledgeable, and are good problem solvers.\u00a0They\u00a0can\u00a0use these qualities in a teamwork setting to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the medical field overall.<\/p>\n
