A web-based clinical decision aid was designed to improve novices' capacity to prioritize occupational therapy referrals in community mental health teams. The aim of this research was to test the effectiveness of the decision aid.
A trial was conducted using a consensus expert policy as the educational intervention; a one-group pre-test, post-test design was chosen to measure any effect of training.
A total of 100 pre-registration occupational therapy students accessed the decision aid; they prioritized a set of referrals before and after being trained with graphical and descriptive representations of the expert policy.
Data were collected online via the World Wide Web from students at 12 UK universities.
The effect of training was demonstrated through more accurate prioritization ratings when matched with expert ratings on the same referrals and more accurate judgement policies when matched with the consensus standard judgement policy.
The tool was found to be effective as it improved referral prioritization capacity.
设计一种基于网络的临床决策辅助工具,以提高新手在社区心理健康团队中对职业治疗转诊进行优先级排序的能力。本研究的目的是测试该决策辅助工具的有效性。
采用以共识专家政策作为教育干预措施进行试验;选择单组前后测设计来衡量培训的任何效果。
共有100名预注册职业治疗专业学生使用了该决策辅助工具;他们在接受专家政策的图形和描述性表示培训前后,对一组转诊进行了优先级排序。
通过万维网从英国12所大学的学生那里在线收集数据。
与专家对相同转诊的评级相匹配时,培训效果体现在更准确的优先级排序评分上;与共识标准判断政策相匹配时,则体现在更准确的判断政策上。
该工具被发现是有效的,因为它提高了转诊优先级排序能力。
