Abstract

The aim of our study was to compare the effects of online video-based interactive physical activity and ergonomics training and e-brochure-based training on musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomic risks, physical activity and exercise behavior and knowledge level in physiotherapy students receiving distance education. 127 individuals were included in the study, randomized and divided into Group I (video-based interactive training) and Group II (e-brochure training). Physical activity and ergonomics training program was applied for 3 times a week in 6 weeks, through the video-based online platform called Edpuzzle in Group I and e-brochure in Group II. Pain and discomforts of the participants with Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, ergonomic risks with Rapid Office Stress Assessment, physical activity with International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form and Physical Activity Self-Efficacy Scale, exercise behavior with Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale, Exercise Stages of Change Questionnaire were assessed before and after the training program. In addition, the knowledge levels of the participants after the training were evaluated with the Knowledge Level Questionnaire. After the training, there was a significant improvement in pain, ergonomic risk, physical activity self-efficacy and perception of exercise benefit/obstacle in both groups (p<0.05). Besides, the changes obtained in pain, ergonomic risk and exercise behavior scores and knowledge level in Group I compared to Group II were found to be statistically superior (p<0.05). As a result, it was found that both training programs provided effective results in physiotherapy students receiving distance education, but video-based interactive training had superior effects on pain and discomfort risk, ergonomic risk, exercise behavior and knowledge level compared to e-brochure-based training.

UZAKTAN EĞİTİM ALAN FİZYOTERAPİ ÖĞRENCİLERİNDE ÇEVRİMİÇİ FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE VE ERGONOMİ EĞİTİMİNİN ETKİNLİĞİ

Abstract

Çalışmamızın amacı, uzaktan eğitim alan fizyoterapi öğrencilerinde çevrimiçi video tabanlı etkileşimli fiziksel aktivite ve ergonomi eğitimi ile e-broşür tabanlı eğitimin kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları, ergonomik riskler, fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz davranışı ve bunlarla ilgili bilgi düzeyi üzerine etkisini karşılaştırmak idi. Çalışmaya 127 birey dahil edildi, katılımcılar randomize edilerek, Grup I (video tabanlı etkileşimli eğitim) ve Grup II (e-broşür ile eğitim) olmak üzere ikiye ayrıldı. Grup I’de Edpuzzle adlı video tabanlı çevrimiçi platform, Grup II’de ise e-broşür aracılığıyla haftada 3 kez olmak üzere 6 hafta boyunca fiziksel aktivite ve ergonomi eğitim programı uygulandı. Olguların eğitim öncesi ve sonrası ağrı ve rahatsızlıkları Cornell Kas İskelet Rahatsızlıkları Anketi, ergonomik riskleri Hızlı Ofis Zorlanma Değerlendirmesi, fiziksel aktiviteleri Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Form ve Fiziksel Aktivite Öz-yeterlik Ölçeği, egzersiz davranışı ise Egzersiz Yararları/Engelleri Ölçeği ve Egzersiz Davranışı Değişim Basamakları Anketi ile değerlendirildi. Ayrıca olguların eğitim sonrası bilgi düzeyleri Bilgi Düzeyi Anketi ile değerlendirildi. Eğitim sonrası Grup I ve Grup II’de ağrı, ergonomik risk, fiziksel aktivite öz-yeterlik ve egzersiz yarar/engel algısında anlamlı iyileşme sağlandı (p<0,05). Ayrıca, Grup I’de Grup II’ye kıyasla ağrı, ergonomik risk ve egzersiz davranışı skorlarında elde edilen değişim ve bilgi düzeyi istatistiksel olarak üstün bulundu (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak; her iki eğitim programının uzaktan eğitim alan fizyoterapi öğrencilerinde etkili sonuçlar sağladığı, ancak video tabanlı etkileşimli eğitimin, e-broşür tabanlı eğitime kıyasla ağrı ve rahatsızlık riski, ergonomik risk, egzersiz davranışı ve bilgi düzeyi üzerinde üstün etkileri olduğu bulunmuştur.
