Using the diagnostic thinking inventory in musculoskeletal physiotherapy: a validity and reliability study

Abstract: Background Development of clinical reasoning is an essential aspect in musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice that is linked to better outcomes. The measurement of clinical reasoning has placed an emphasis on diagnostic reasoning using different types of examinations. The Diagnostic Thinking Inventory (DTI) is a self‐assessment tool developed to measure two aspects of diagnostic reasoning: flexibility in thinking (FT) and structure in memory (SM). DTI is valid and reliable that has been used extensively in med… Show more

“…The instrument was primarily designed for medical students, but it was also used in physiotherapy subjects and the correlation plots indicated a significant positive relationship between scores on test and retest (r=0.779, p<0.001), while it had internal consistency with an overall alpha value of 0.846. 7 The inventory has 41 questions following a scenario. These questions require the most suitable answer to be marked on a 6-point, semantic differential scale.…”

“…5 Similar results were reported in physiotherapy students with positive correlation plots (r=0.779, p<0.001) and good consistency with an overall alpha value of 0.846. [6][7][8][9] The emphasis on how to teach clinical reasoning started in medical education and to assess the results, diagnostic thinking inventory (DTI) was used for rating Standardized patients (SP). 10,12 In dentistry, a few studies exist on clinical reasoning skills demonstrating them through clinical scenarios, but none shows a definite pattern/ definite tool to assess.…”

“…However, there are few pedagogical tools intended for physiotherapists and fewer tools for assessing their clinical reasoning 2 (Cowell et al, 2023). From the literature on this subject, it seemed to us that research on physiotherapists' clinical reasoning was focused on the identification and classification of the steps of the reasoning process (especially within the framework of the evaluation of students' clinical reasoning skills) with no relation to the relevant resulting variables, namely the diagnosis considered as the most probable for a given situation and above all the therapeutic strategy offered to the patient (Elvén et al, 2018;Hamzeh et al, 2021;Langridge et al, 2015). In addition, these studies overlooked the impact of contextual factors and factors related to the physiotherapist on clinical decision-making, such as confidence in one's judgment and IU (Holdar et al, 2013;Simmonds et al, 2012).…”

“…In Hamzeh et al. (2021), the following corrections have been made to the author byline, and both the Ethical approval and Acknowledgments sections. Marianne Hensman has been included as the last author. Ethical approval statement has been corrected and should read as follows: “This study was approved by an ethics committee at University of Birmingham, United Kingdom (SR 05/09/14). This approval covered data collection in the UK.…”
