INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA CASE BASED TRAINING FOR DYSPHAGIA

该项目将开发一个交互式多媒体光盘程序，为从事吞咽障碍（吞咽困难）成人工作的卫生服务专业人员提供培训。主要受众是评估和治疗吞咽困难患者的专业人员团队。该计划将服务于三个主要目的：（l）为学生提供语言病理学，护理，医学，职业治疗和营养方面的职前培训;（2）为执业专业人员提供培训和资源;（3）为医院和医疗机构的支持人员，吞咽困难患者和患者家属提供信息。七项具体目标包括：l）最终确定培训计划的能力，2）基于案例研究设计架构，3）为计划的吞咽和评估与治疗部分创建多媒体组件，4）为案例研究部分开发八个案例研究，3）将联合收割机组件组合成交互式多媒体计划，6）评估计划的可用性和教学效果，（七）制定商业发行计划。该计划将减少课堂教学和临床培训之间的差距。内容将涵盖正常成人吞咽的解剖学和生理学，吞咽和相关疾病的阶段，吞咽困难的病因，评估程序和治疗方法。内容将通过音频叙述、文本、3D模型、动画、QuickTime VR、视频剪辑和照片提供。学习将通过使用模拟，定期能力检查和基于决策的分支得到加强。交互式多媒体演示格式将允许学习者与评估和治疗数据进行交互，以做出决策并解决问题。嵌入式绩效评估将使学员能够在安全的环境中练习，并获得纠正反馈。拟议的商业应用：交互式多媒体程序的商业应用包括：1）在语言病理学、护理学、职业治疗学、营养学和营养学以及医学领域的学生的大学培训计划中的吞咽困难课程的基本组成部分; 2）用于上述专业的执业专业人员的在职培训的独立教学单元; 3）医院、诊所和疗养院员工培训的重要资源; 4）医院患者教育计划中吞咽困难患者和家庭成员的信息来源。

This project will develop an interactive multimedia CD-ROM program to provide training to health service professionals working with adults with swallowing disorders (dysphagia). The primary audience is the team of professionals who assess and treat patients with dysphagia. This program will serve three major purposes: (l) provide pre-service training for students in speech-language pathology, nursing, medicine, occupational therapy, and nutrition; (2) provide training and resources to practicing professionals; and, (3) provide information to hospital and health care facility support personnel, patients with dysphagia, and patient family members. Seven specific objectives include: l) finalize the competencies for the training program, 2) design the architecture based on a case-study design, 3) create multimedia components for The Swallow and Assessment & Treatment sections of the program, 4) develop eight case studies for the Case Study section, 3) combine components into an interactive multimedia program, 6) evaluate the program for usability and instructional effectiveness, and 7) develop a plan for commercial distribution. This program will reduce the gap between classroom instruction and clinical training. Content will cover the anatomy and physiology of normal adult swallowing, the phases of swallowing and related disorders, the etiologies of dysphagia, assessment procedures, and treatment approaches. Content will be provided through audio narration, text, 3-D models, animation, QuickTime VR, video clips and photographs. Learning will be reinforced through the use of simulation, periodic competency checking, and decision-based branching. Interactive, multimedia presentation format will allow the learner to interact with assessment and treatment data to make decisions and solve problems. Embedded performance measures will allow the earner to practice in a safe environment and receive corrective feedback. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: Commercial applications for the interactive multimedia program include: l) an essential component of dysphagia curriculum in university training programs for students in speech-language pathology, nursing, occupational therapy, dietetics and nutrition, and medical fields; 2) a stand-alone unit of instruction for inservice training of practicing professionals in the above- mentioned professions; 3) an important resource for staff training in hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes; and 4) an information source for patients with dysphagia and family members in hospital patient education programs.
