About this study
Official title: Understanding Attitudes and Beliefs of Undergraduate Medical and Physiotherapy Students - a Longitudinal Study
This is an analysis of data collected from 2009-2014 from medical students at GCU and physiotherapy students at UoG measuring attitudes towards patients with chronic low back pain and their functionality.
Read the detailed description
This is longitudinal study with the data collected from 2009-2014 from medical students and physiotherapy students at two different Scottish universities measuring attitudes towards patients with chronic low back pain and their functionality. The outcome measure used was HC-PAIRS the original 15 point Likert Scale. Data was analysed using SPSS (version 25). All data was found to be normally distributed. Descriptive statistics were presented as mean (Standard Deviation). Inferential statistics were carried out using a two-way ANOVA with year of study and discipline of degree as independent variables with post hoc analysis. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
