• 1 other identifier: H1542195894247
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 32

Brief Summary

A service-learning programme in physiotherapy students will be performed. 30 physiotherapy students will be randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=16) or to a control group (n=16). Intervention group will perform a service-learning program with real patients with heart transplantation, and will have to perform a physical therapy program adapted to a real patient. Two meetings will be performed in order to establish groups, explain the project and search information based on evidence in scientific databases. In addition, three meetings with patients will be stated in order to establish the adapted program based on the real patient's needs and characteristics. The control group will have to perform a physiotherapy program without meeting real patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Ethical sensitivity

  Ethical sensitivity Questionnaire, composed of of 9 items with six possible responses (Likert scale from 1, indicating total disagreement, to 6, indicating total agreement). The minimum score is 9 and the maximum score is 54. The more score, the more ethical sensitivity. Cronbach's alpha=0.76

Study Arms (2)

Service-learning group

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention group will perform a service-learning program with real patients with heart transplantation and coronary syndrome, and will have to perform a physical therapy program adapted to a real patient. Two meetings will be performed in order to establish groups, explain the project and search information based on evidence in scientific databases. In addition, three meetings with patients will be stated in order to establish the adapted program based on the real patient's needs and characteristics.

Other: Service-learning program

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Control group will perform a physical therapy program for heart transplantation and coronary syndrome, but without meeting real patients. One meeting will be performed in order to establish groups and search information based on evidence in scientific databases.

Interventions

Service-learning program OTHER
