Impact of simulated patients on physiotherapy students' skill performance in cardiorespiratory practice classes: a pilot study. (2020)
Journal Article
WALKER, C.A. and ROBERTS, F.E. 2020. Impact of simulated patients on physiotherapy students' skill performance in cardiorespiratory practice classes: a pilot study. Physiotherapy Canada [online], 72(3), pages 314-322. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3138/ptc-2019-0113

Purpose: To date, no evidence exists that high-fidelity simulation improves skill development among physiotherapy students in the university setting. With pressures to reduce costs and maintain or improve the quality of the learning experience, and w...

Effectiveness of expiratory muscle strength training on expiratory strength, pulmonary function and cough in the adult population: a systematic review. (2019)
Journal Article
TEMPLEMAN, L. and ROBERTS, F. 2020. Effectiveness of expiratory muscle strength training on expiratory strength, pulmonary function and cough in the adult population: a systematic review. Physiotherapy [online], 106, pages 43-51. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2019.06.002

Background: Respiratory muscle strength declines in certain disease states, leading to impaired cough, reduced airway clearance and an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia. Respiratory muscle training may therefore reduce this risk. Objectives: To...

Effectiveness of high fidelity simulation versus low fidelity simulation on practical/clinical skill development in pre-registration physiotherapy students: a systematic review. JBI database of systematic reviews and implementation reports [online], 17(6), pages 1229-1255. Available from: https://doi.org/10.11124/JBISRIR-2017-003931

Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of high fidelity simulation (HFS) versus low fidelity simulation (LFS) on practical/clinical skill development in pre-registration physiotherapy students. Introduction: Evidence...

Scottish healthcare students' perceptions of an interprofessional ward simulation: an exploratory descriptive study. (2017)
Journal Article
ROBERTS, F. and GOODHAND, K. 2017. Scottish healthcare students' perceptions of an interprofessional ward simulation: an exploratory descriptive study. Nursing and health sciences [online], 20(1), pages 107-115. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/nhs.12393

The most memorable learning occurs during placement. Simulated inter-professional learning is a logical learning opportunity to help healthcare professionals work beyond their professional silos. In this qualitative study, we investigated the perceiv... Read More about Scottish healthcare students' perceptions of an interprofessional ward simulation: an exploratory descriptive study..

The effect of high fidelity simulated learning methods on physiotherapy pre-registration education: a systematic review protocol. (2017)
Other
ROBERTS, F. and COOPER, K. 2017. The effect of high fidelity simulated learning methods on physiotherapy pre-registration education: a systematic review protocol. [Protocol]. JBI database of systematic reviews and implementation reports [online], 15(11), pages 2613-2618. Available from: https://doi.org/10.11124/JBISRIR-2016-003294

The objective of this review is to identify if high fidelity simulated learning methods are effective at enhancing clinical/practical skills compared to usual, low fidelity simulated learning methods in pre-registration physiotherapy education.

Development of an outcome measure to assess performance of physiotherapy cardiorespiratory skills: A Delphi Study
Presentation / Conference Contribution
ROBERTS, F. 2019. Development of an outcome measure to assess performance of physiotherapy cardiorespiratory skills: a Delphi study. Presented at the 8th international clinical skills conference, 19-22 May 2019, Prato, Italy.

Current evidence regarding high-fidelity simulation (HFS) in physiotherapy education focuses on student perceptions producing very positive responses from students. HFS has the potential to improve skill performance and consequently better prepare st...
