This study assessed doctor of physical therapy (DPT) students' perceptions of the educational environment at public and private physical therapy institutes in Pakistan. This cross-sectional study was conducted at 6 physical therapy institutions in Punjab, Pakistan from April 2018 to December 2019. In total, 500 Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) questionnaires were distributed among DPT students identified through convenience sampling (response rate, 86.4%). The correlations between each item of the DREEM score were analyzed. The mean overall DREEM score was 128±19.63 for all 5 subscales (range, 33 to 166; standard error of the mean, 0.954). The correlations of atmosphere, learning, and self-perception with the overall educational environment were r=0.896, r=0.853, and r=0.846, respectively. Student-centered approaches were found to be more effective than teacher-centered approaches for promoting a positive educational environment.
本研究评估了巴基斯坦公立和私立物理治疗机构中物理治疗博士（DPT）学生对教育环境的看法。这项横断面研究于2018年4月至2019年12月在巴基斯坦旁遮普省的6所物理治疗机构进行。总共向通过便利抽样确定的DPT学生发放了500份邓迪就绪教育环境量表（DREEM）问卷（回复率为86.4%）。分析了DREEM分数各项目之间的相关性。所有5个分量表的DREEM总体平均分数为128±19.63（范围为33至166；平均标准误差为0.954）。氛围、学习和自我认知与整体教育环境的相关性分别为r=0.896、r=0.853和r=0.846。研究发现，以学生为中心的方法在促进积极的教育环境方面比以教师为中心的方法更有效。
