Brief Summary

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

Understanding the knowledge gaps of amputee rehabilitation course content is essential for addressing these gaps. Identifying the course contents according to International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) can be a starting point for determining the gaps. This study aimed to investigate which amputee-specific ICF categories are underemphasized in the course content.

Detailed Description

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

For understanding the knowledge gaps of amputee rehabilitation course content, a total of 59 amputee-specific ICF categories were asked to the academics whether these categories are present in the amputee rehabilitation course content. Academics were asked to answer "yes" or "no" to each question. Cochrane Q test was used to test for differences between the frequencies of ICF categories.

Sleep functions, high-level cognitive functions in the field of body functions, writing and handling stress in the activity sub-domain, most of the categories in the participation sub-domain and environmental factors were significantly underemphasized in the course content.This study identifies the knowledge gaps of amputee rehabilitation course content in physiotherapy curriculum.

Academicians who continued to teach amputee rehabilitation in different higher education institutions in Turkey were included in the study.

Survey

Intervention Type OTHER

The survey was developed using the Google Forms platform. The first part of the questionnaire consisted of descriptive information such as age, gender, duration of academic experience. In addition to this informations, the questionnaire also included information related the status of use ICF in any fields.

In the other part of the questionnaire, a total of 59 questions (16 related to body functions, 3 related to body structures, 30 related to activity and participation, 10 related to environmental factors) were asked to the academicians whether these categories are present in the amputee rehabilitation course content. Academicians were asked to answer "yes" or "no" to each question.
