Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Communication partner training (CPT) is recommended for healthcare professionals working with acquired brain injury (ABI) clients.
  • Orthoptists, who manage visual impairments common in ABI, are often excluded from CPT studies.
  • Existing CPT programs rarely address the interplay between vision and communication support strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the interact-ABI-lity online CPT program's impact on orthoptic students' knowledge and confidence.
  • To assess the program's acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility for orthoptic students and professionals.
  • To explore integrating visual impairment content into CPT for orthoptic learning.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental, mixed-methods design was employed.
  • Participants included 37 orthoptic students and 13 qualified orthoptists.
  • Quantitative data from pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and qualitative data from focus groups were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant increases in confidence (p < 0.001) and knowledge (p < 0.001) were observed in orthoptic students post-intervention.
    • Nearly all participants (96.1%) found the program highly useful.
    • Focus groups indicated the program developed valuable skills, especially for entry-level professionals, with practical experience enhancing learning.

    Conclusions:

    • The interact-ABI-lity program is a feasible, appropriate, and acceptable CPT tool for orthoptic students.
    • The study underscores the importance of integrating practical, hands-on experiences like interdisciplinary workshops and clinical placements.
    • Enhancing CPT with content on visual impairment is recommended for professionals supporting individuals with combined visual and communication challenges.
