Individual student characteristics and attainment in pre registration physiotherapy: a retrospective multi site cohort study.

Abstract：

INTRODUCTION:Worldwide there is a desire to diversify the physiotherapy workforce. However, limited research indicates that some student characteristics linked to under-representation in pre registration physiotherapy education have lower attainment and greater attrition. This study explored the relationship between individual characteristics and success of students in pre registration physiotherapy education within South East England. DESIGN:A retrospective multi site cohort study including pre registration physiotherapy programmes in the South East of England. Anonymised data included background information (age, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status) and outcomes (assessment marks, type of award and classification of degree). Analysis involved Bayesian regression models and ordinal logistic regression to examine the association of student characteristics on outcomes. RESULTS:Data from 1851 student records were collected from four institutions. There were significantly lower assessment scores for Asian (-11% 95% CI: -13.1 to -9.2), Black (-7%, 95% CI: -9.7 to -4.5) and Other/Mixed ethnicity groups (-5%, 95% CI: -7.1 to -2.4), most notable in clinical and observed assessments, compared to their White British colleagues. All BME groups also demonstrated worse odds for a one step lower overall award or no award (Black OR: 3.35, Asian OR: 3.97, Other OR: 2.03). Associations of learning disability, age and non-traditional entry routes with assessment scores and/or degree classification were also noted. CONCLUSION:These findings suggest significant attainment gaps in pre registration physiotherapy education in this specific geographical region, particularly for non-White ethnic and disability groups. The association with assessment type challenges educators to look beyond a purely student deficit model to explore all factors that may lead to inequality.
