Examples Of Semi Standardized Interviews

Improved Essays
Semi Standardized Interview:
We conducted semi standardized interviews with the participants and their family members. Capacity, opportunity and motivation framework (COM-B) and ANGELO domains were utilised to develop a comprehensive interview guide that focussed on reasons for arm use and perceived recovery (Appendix 1). The interviews were conducted in the natural language of the participant and were transcribed to English. A Sony audio recorder was used for recording. Field notes were used to document related observations. Based on initial few interviews we refined our interview guide.
Patient Examination: We examined their motor, activity, participation and current physical activity status using observational and standardized scales.

    “Assessment of Physical Activity Levels of 3rd and 4th Grade Children Using Pedometers during Physical Education Class” 1. This research study was also found on the ERIC database. After reading and analyzing two studies that discussed strategies on encouraging physical activity and/or education in the schools, the importance of who is teaching the class, and then also the support the school gets for physical activity, I found this study interesting since it dealt with the actual physical education class and what the children were actually getting out of the class. A school may have physical education classes but if the students are not benefitting from the thirty to forty-five minutes spent in the class, then it does them no good. I searched…

    One of the greatest predictors of patient outcome in physical therapy is adherence to exercise both in and out of treatment. Those who adhere closely to the designed exercise program report increased physical function and self-perceived effect of physical therapy (Pisters, et. al., 2010). For example, Brewer et al (2004) found that for individuals who had surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), greater adherence to rehabilitation recommendations was associated with improved outcomes such as fewer self-reported knee symptoms. However, many patients do not adhere to the basic principles of rehabilitation such as attending physical therapy sessions and completing home exercise programs (Mazières, et.…
