Abstract

Purpose Deficiencies in pain knowledge and attitudes among students and health practitioners are well documented. Occupational therapists (OTs) commonly care for patients who present with pain, and their knowledge of the field presumably impacts that care. This study presents the results of testing OT students' pain knowledge in order to assess the effects of embedding pain teaching in a generic master's-level OT course and to determine specific topics that should be addressed to improve upon existing OT curricula. Method During the academic years 2004 through 2009, 194 OT students were administered a test of pain knowledge and attitudes on the first and last day of a required class which focused on procedural reasoning. Results The results indicated significant (p Conclusions The results demonstrate the effectiveness of a course taught by an instructor with pain expertise. In addition, analysis of individual items highlights the need for curricula to address theoretical versus practical understanding of pain, the ever-evolving science of pain, and pervasive biases about specific pain topics.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
