Occupational Therapy Education

This study aims to develop a video and audio database for teaching and learning clinical skills in occupational therapy. The database will include recordings of clinical teaching sessions, skill demonstrations, student practice, and interactions between occupational therapists, trainees, and patients or family members. Participants may include occupational therapists involved in clinical teaching, occupational therapy interns or postgraduate trainees, and adult patients or family members who receive occupational therapy services. Participation involves voluntary video or audio recording of clinical teaching or therapy-related activities after informed consent is obtained. This study does not involve any experimental treatment, intervention, or comparison of outcomes. The collected materials will be securely stored, anonymized, and organized for future educational use and research on clinical skills teaching and assessment in occupational therapy.

The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to evaluate whether the combined use of Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) can assess the independent clinical competence of occupational therapy interns at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the performance on Mini-CEX correlate with the interns' ability to perform independently? 2. Does the use of EPAs provide additional insight into interns' readiness for unsupervised clinical practice? Participants will: 1. Provide informed consent at the sixth week of their internship. 2. Undergo assessment with Mini-CEX and EPAs during their eighth week of clinical training. 3. Complete demographic questionnaires including age, gender, study habits, prior university experience, parental occupation, and residence area.
