Overview

Qualitative analysis highlights barriers and facilitators in clinical reasoning for physiotherapy students during placements.

Key Points

  • Barriers to clinical reasoning include knowledge gaps and skills deficits in assessments and interventions.
  • Facilitators such as previous experience and supportive educational strategies enhance clinical reasoning.
  • Clinical educators' insights were gathered through semi-structured interviews with both students and educators.
  • The findings suggest that addressing barriers and enhancing facilitators could improve clinical education effectiveness.
