ABSTRACT

Purpose: Rural and remote Saskatchewan has a shortage of physiotherapists. Positive student experiences in rural and remote communities may influence whether graduates choose to work in these settings. The intention of the first full-time, 4-week clinical placement (CP) in the Master of Physical Therapy programme at the University of Saskatchewan is to provide clinical experiences in rural settings outside Saskatoon and Regina. This study examines the geographic distribution of and yearly variation in these CPs to determine whether this stated intent is being realized. Method: We analyzed the locations of physiotherapy student CPs from 2008 to 2016 using geospatial mapping. Results: Spatial patterning using mapping identified variability in the number of rural placements in geographical regions in Saskatchewan over a 9-year period. An average of 75% of CP experiences occurred in rural locations outside the two major cities in Saskatchewan between 2008 and 2016 (ranging from 58% in 2015 to 84% in 2009). Conclusions: The goal of providing all University of Saskatchewan physiotherapy students with a rural experience for their first CP is not being met. Securing more CPs in rural settings may have a positive impact on recruitment of physiotherapists to these communities.


Objectif : on observe une pénurie de physiothérapeutes dans les régions rurales et éloignées de la Saskatchewan. Les expériences positives des étudiants en milieu rural ou éloigné peuvent influer sur leur choix d'y travailler à la fin de leurs études. Le premier stage clinique (SC) de quatre semaines à temps plein à la maîtrise en physiothérapie de l'université de la Saskatchewan vise à offrir des expériences cliniques en milieu rural à l'extérieur de Saskatoon et de Regina. La présente étude porte sur la répartition géographique et les variations annuelles de ces SC pour déterminer si cette intention exprimée se réalise. Méthodologie : les auteurs ont analysé les lieux où les étudiants en physiothérapie ont fait leur SC entre 2008 et 2016 au moyen d'une cartographie géospatiale. Résultats : la modélisation spatiale par cartographie a contribué à établir la variabilité du nombre de stages en milieu rural dans les régions géographiques de la Saskatchewan sur une période de neuf ans. En moyenne, 75 % des expériences de SC se sont produites dans des milieux ruraux situés hors des deux grandes villes de la Saskatchewan entre 2008 et 2016 (entre 58 % en 2015 et 84 % en 2009). Conclusions : l'objectif d'offrir une expérience en milieu rural à tous les étudiants en physiothérapie de l'université de la Saskatchewan lors de leur premier SC n'est pas respecté. L'obtention d'un plus grand nombre de SC en milieu rural pourrait avoir un effet positif sur le recrutement de physiothérapeutes dans ces localités.

ABSTRACT

Interprofessional education (IPE) is vital to healthcare professionals and is especially relevant in the context of pain management. Despite its importance, it is often difficult to provide given limited time and resources and challenges with coordinating schedules across professions. This study explored satisfaction with a one-day IPE workshop on pain management. Seventy-three students from seven professions completed a questionnaire evaluating the workshop. Results suggested that students rated all aspects of the workshop highly, but particularly valued hearing client's experiences with pain. Furthermore, students perceived that their knowledge of pain and interprofessional relationships improved following the workshop. Differences emerged between professions, with students classified as psychosocial reporting greater satisfaction with the IPE than students from biomedical professions. This study supports research previously conducted on IPE in pain management and suggests that when time and resources are constrained, there is value in offering a brief IPE workshop on pain management.
