Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Most of the occupational therapy students received the knowledge of family-centered services when they studies in universities, however, the experience of family-centered practice during internships is limited. The purpose is to design a family-centered teaching model and to examine the effects of the teaching model. The positive results showed on students' perceptions and children's occupational performance.

Detailed Description

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

The study examined the differences of interns' perceptions of services toward family-centeredness and children' occupational performance between a family-centered teaching (FACT) model and a conventional family approach incorporated in internships. A two-group quasi-experimental design was employed. Participants included 49 interns, 44 caregivers, and 45 children with disabilities under six-year-old. The perceptions of interns toward FCS in both groups were measured using the Chinese version of the "Measure of Processes of Care-Service Provider" (C-MPOC-SP) at the pre- and post- tests. Children' occupational performance in both groups was rated using the "Canadian Occupational Performance Measure" (COPM) for the pre- and post-tests. Interns in the experimental group demonstrated a significant increase in two of the four C-MPOC-SP subscales compared to their counterparts. Children' scores improved significantly in COPM performance subtest for experimental group, but not on the COPM satisfaction subscale.

family-centered teaching model group

The family-centered teaching group provided knowledge and skills of family-centered services for interns in internship

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Family-centered teaching model

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The program comprised two parts: (1) Didactic lessons: and (2) Hands-on practice. The didactic lessons were designed to prepare interns' knowledge and skills. The hands-on practice were designed to provide opportunities of family-centered experience to work with caregivers and children.

conventional family approach group

The conventional family approach provided interns to interact with children in internships.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
