THE ABILITY OF DATA COLLECTION IN PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS: RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Abstract
Objectives: Physiotherapy students’ ability to obtain data from volunteers correctly and
without missing was investigated retrospectively.
Methods: Fourty one students who has been taking one of the researcher’s lectures were
asked to find Beck depression scale; to meet at least 3 people and obtain their demographic
data, their sport habits and to fill in the Beck depression scale. These student files from 33
students were investigated retrospectively at the end of the semester.
Results: Thirty three students gave their reports, 8 of them did not. Students gave 98 individuals’
report. Nine students prepared a different form for demographic data. Twenty two
students written those data on empty areas on the paper they printed Beck depression scale.
Two students did not take any demographic data. All of the students found and used Beck
depression scale, 19 of them calculated the results; 14 students did not. Thirty one students
who somehow obtained demographic data asked to volunteers their sport habits but the ones
who didn’t have demographic data did not asked any questions about sport. Only 3 students
out of 33 collected data without missing.
Conclusion: The failure in collecting data may affect scientific creativity thus, the content
and the target of research project lesson should be reviewed for educating researcher physiotherapists
and strong academic staff.
