Study Notes
Gamification in Occupational Therapy Courses
- This study introduces gamification strategies in occupational therapy courses to increase student motivation and promote game-based learning.
Escape Room Adaptation
- The concept of escape rooms is adapted for educational environments of health sciences, such as occupational therapy.
- The escape room is designed to promote key skills, including teamwork.
Collaborative Escape Room Software
- A computer software was created for a collaborative escape room, allowing online simultaneous play for 24-30 students.
Experiment Design
- The experiment was tested three times in an occupational therapy degree program with a total of 75 students.
- The escape room was based on two different subjects, but can be adapted to others.
Evaluation Methodology
- The escape room was evaluated using feedback surveys and comparing students' performances before and after the game.
- Descriptive exploratory statistical analysis was used to assess the effectiveness of the escape room.
Assistive Devices for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People
- Deaf and hard of hearing individuals use various assistive devices and technologies to cope with difficulties arising from hearing loss.
- Few studies have examined the perceived psychosocial impact of assistive devices and technologies, apart from hearing aids.
Study Objectives and Methodology
- The main objective of the study was to assess the psychosocial impact of different assistive devices on deaf and hard of hearing people.
- The study used the Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale to assess the impact.
- The sample consisted of 291 individuals, including 176 women and 115 men, with an average age of 56.12 years (SD= 25.11).
Study Results
- The use of assistive devices had a positive psychosocial impact on deaf and hard of hearing people.
- The impact varied slightly depending on the specific type of device used.
- A relationship was found between the psychosocial impact and the probability of future abandonment of a hearing aid or a cochlear implant.
Conclusion
- Considering the psychosocial impact of a device is crucial in the adoption process of assistive technologies for deaf and hard of hearing people.
