Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
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.
