The Student Practice Evaluation Form-Revised Edition (SPEF-R) is used by all Australian universities to assess the capability and performance of occupational therapy students on block practice placements. The occupational therapy landscape in Australia has evolved significantly since the SPEF-R was developed. This study aimed to review the SPEF-R and develop a revised edition, the SPEF-R2.
The first cycle of an action research process involved four phases: (a) mapping the SPEF-R to the Australian Occupational Therapy Competency Standards 2018 (AOTCS); (b) development of the SPEF-R2; (c) national consultation through an online survey with clinicians, university staff and students; and (d) reflection and further amendments.
In phase 1, good alignment was found between the AOTCS 2018 and the SPEF-R. In phase 2, the SPEF-R2 was developed to further enhance alignment, including expanded content related to culturally responsive practice, reflective practice and clinical/professional reasoning, resulting in two items being added to the tool. Further wording adjustments were made to improve clarity, reduce duplication and improve relevance to the contemporary occupational therapy landscape. In phase 3, survey results indicated that the SPEF-R2 was well received overall, with most participants viewing it as an improvement on the SPEF-R. Cultural content and reflective practice additions in particular received positive feedback. Concerns were raised by some participants, including perceived repetition, the length of the tool and time required for completion, and addressed by further amendments in phase 4. Three items were removed or consolidated elsewhere, and three items became core items.
The Australian occupational therapy community considers the SPEF-R2 to be a timely and much-needed development. Piloting of the SPEF-R2 and final revisions prior to release are planned for subsequent action cycles and amendments will be made to the online platform and associated training resources.
《学生实习评估表-修订版》（SPEF-R）被所有澳大利亚大学用于评估职业治疗学生在实习阶段的能力和表现。自 SPEF-R 开发以来，澳大利亚的职业治疗领域发生了重大变化。本研究旨在审查 SPEF-R 并开发一个修订版，即 SPEF-R2。
行动研究过程的第一个循环包括四个阶段：（a）将 SPEF-R 与 2018 年澳大利亚职业治疗能力标准（AOTCS）进行映射；（b）制定 SPEF-R2；（c）通过在线调查与临床医生、大学教职员工和学生进行全国性协商；（d）反思和进一步修订。
在第 1 阶段，发现 AOTCS 2018 与 SPEF-R 之间有很好的一致性。在第 2 阶段，开发了 SPEF-R2 以进一步增强一致性，包括扩展与文化响应实践、反思实践和临床/专业推理相关的内容，导致工具中增加了两个项目。进一步对措辞进行了调整，以提高清晰度、减少重复并提高与当代职业治疗领域的相关性。在第 3 阶段，调查结果表明，SPEF-R2 总体上受到好评，大多数参与者认为它比 SPEF-R 有所改进。特别是文化内容和反思实践的增加受到了积极的反馈。一些参与者提出了一些关注，包括感知到的重复、工具的长度和完成所需的时间，并在第 4 阶段进行了进一步的修订。删除或合并了三个项目，并将三个项目定为核心项目。
澳大利亚职业治疗界认为 SPEF-R2 是一个及时且非常需要的发展。计划在后续的行动循环中对 SPEF-R2 进行试点和最终修订，并在发布前对在线平台和相关培训资源进行修订。
