Summary
This summary is machine-generated.A multiple mentor model improved clinical instructors' (CIs) cross-cultural psychological capital (CC PsyCap) and mentoring skills. This enhanced support for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) physical therapy students during clinical education experiences (CEEs).
Area Of Science
- Physical Therapy Education
- Health Professions Education
- Cultural Competence in Healthcare
Background
- Culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students face isolation and microaggressions in clinical education experiences (CEEs).
- A lack of culturally responsive mentors exacerbates challenges for CLD learners in Doctor of Physical Therapy programs.
- Existing mentoring models may not adequately address the unique needs of CLD students.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate a multiple mentor model involving CLD learners, clinical instructors (CIs), and CLD mentors.
- To determine if this model enhances CI cross-cultural psychological capital (CC PsyCap) and mentoring skills.
- To assess the model's effectiveness in supporting CLD learners during CEEs.
Main Methods
- A 10-week CEE involving three CLD learners, their CIs, and matched CLD mentors.
- CIs received online cross-cultural mentor training and participated in four joint meetings.
- Changes in CI CC PsyCap were measured using a pre- and post-CEE survey, supplemented by thematic analysis of interview data.
Main Results
- All CIs showed increased CC PsyCap scores post-CEE.
- CIs developed greater awareness of CLD learners' needs and strategies to combat bias.
- CLD learners reported challenges with race and assimilation but valued supportive CIs and mentors.
Conclusions
- CI CC PsyCap and mentoring skills can be effectively developed through a multiple mentor model.
- CLD mentors and targeted training are crucial for enhancing CI's ability to support CLD learners.
- This approach improves the inclusivity and effectiveness of CEEs for CLD physical therapy students.

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapeutic approach initially developed to treat depression. It integrates key concepts from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, making it a uniquely eclectic framework. The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.
