“…In addition, administration of a web-based survey enabled us to approach all students from the proposed cohorts, decreasing the influence of selection bias at the student level, but also may have resulted in a lower response rate. Nevertheless, a response rate of 35% can be considered good in current times in which students receive many evaluation forms and junk mail (Sax et al 2003). Female students were slightly overrepresented in our study.…”

Medical schools seek ways to improve their admissions strategies, since the available methods prove to be suboptimal for selecting the best and most motivated students. In this multi-site cross-sectional questionnaire study, we examined the value of (different) selection procedures compared to a weighted lottery procedure, which includes direct admission based on top pre-university grade point averages (C8 out of 10; top-pu-GPA). We also considered whether students had participated in selection, prior to being admitted through weighted lottery. Year-1 (pre-clinical) and Year-4 (clinical) students completed standard validated questionnaires measuring quality of motivation (Academic Self-regulation Questionnaire), strength of motivation (Strength of Motivation for Medical School-Revised) and engagement (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student). Performance data comprised GPA and course credits in Year-1 and clerkship performance in Year-4. Regression analyses were performed. The response rate was 35% (387 Year-1 and 273 Year-4 students). Top-pu-GPA students outperformed selected students. Selected Year-1 students reported higher strength of motivation than top-pu-GPA students. Selected students did not outperform or show better quality of motivation and engagement than lotteryadmitted students. Participation in selection was associated with higher engagement and better clerkship performance in Year-4. GPA, course credits and strength of motivation in Year-1 differed between students admitted through different selection procedures. Top-pu- GPA students perform best in the medical study. The few and small differences found raise questions about the added value of an extensive selection procedure compared to a weighted lottery procedure. Findings have to be interpreted with caution because of a low response rate and small group sizes.

“…Two sets of evaluation criteria were developed: one set to assess the quality of the longitudinal studies (see table 2) and one set for the quality of intervention studies (see table 3). The criteria were based on well-acknowledged insights from longitudinal and intervention research (25)(26)(27)(38)(39)(40). For each quality criterion, studies could be assigned zero, two, or three stars, corresponding to the quality ratings "insufficient", "sufficient", and "good".…”

“…Note that it was not possible to determine what percentage of the 22,121 emails were actually received by professionals. However, the sample size of this study (1,313) cannot be disregarded, since according to previous studies, the number of online questionnaires drastically decreased over time, a fact that may be explained by the massive amount of daily incoming email 25 . In addition, many professionals do not update their data along the professional board and may not have received the questionnaire.…”

Knowledge and use of the ICF in clinical practice by physiotherapists and occupational therapists of Minas Gerais

2018

This study aims to evaluate the profile and knowledge of physiotherapists and occupational therapists from Minas Gerais about the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) application in professional practice, trying to understand the reason for the underutilization of this universal instrument in Brazil. Observational and cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire prepared by specialists. An email was sent to all physiotherapists and occupational therapists enrolled in the Regional Council of the 4th Region. Of 22,121 emails, 1,313 were answered. 53% of the sample had graduate certificate, 65% had between two to ten years of experience, and 62% reported that clinics and patients’ houses are the places where they work. 72% of the professionals knew the ICF and 84% correctly answered the meaning of the acronym. However, 71% of professionals are unaware of the fields that make up this classification. The first contact with the ICF happened during graduation to 50% of professionals, and 28% had never had contact with ICF. 74% reported not using it in clinical practice. However, 82% of the participants believed that the use of ICF is viable in clinical practice. Most professionals had graduate certificate, worked in clinics and patients’ homes and, although most of them claim to know the ICF, the largest portion of the sample reported they did not use this classification in their professional lives, even though believing the ICF use is feasible. The lack of knowledge about the ICF prevents professionals from complying with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Brazilian National Health Council (CNS) and COFFITO (Brazilian Federal Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy) on the adoption of this instrument in exchange of information about health and clinical practice.
