Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this study was to survey 2018-2019 Year III students at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in order explore their perceptions of the components of the revised Jurisprudence, Ethics and Business Management course.

Methods: This study was approved by the Research Ethics Board. A paper survey was distributed to all enrolled students. Using a five-point Likert scale, students were asked if they perceived the course material was (i) well-presented and (ii) important for them to know as future chiropractors. Students were required to sign a consent form to participate.

Results: Survey response rate was 94%. Over 90% of respondents 'strongly agreed/'agreed' lectures, small group session and course assignments were well presented and important for them to know as future chiropractors. Respondents were more critical of the online business modules (on average, 50% 'strongly agreed/agreed').

Conclusions: The information from this survey will enable refinement of future versions of this course.

Introduction: La présente étude visait à sonder des étudiants de 3e année au programme du Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College en 2018–2019 pour connaître leurs opinions sur la nouvelle version du cours de jurisprudence, d’éthique et de gestion d’un cabinet chiropratique.

Méthodologie: La présente étude a été approuvée par le comité d’éthique de la recherche. On a mené un sondage auprès de tous les étudiants inscrits. À l’aide d’une échelle de Likert de cinq points, on a demandé aux étudiants si la matière du cours était i) bien présentée et ii) importante pour eux comme futurs chiropraticiens. On a demandé aux étudiants de signer un consentement à la participation à l’étude.

Résultats: Le taux de participation au sondage a été de 94 %. Plus de 90 % des répondants étaient « tout fait d’accord » ou « d’accord » que le cours, les séances en petits groupes et les devoirs étaient bien présentés et avaient de l’importance pour eux comme futurs chiropraticiens. Les répondants se sont montrés plus critiques en ce qui concerne sur les modules en ligne sur la gestion d’un cabinet chiropratique (en moyenne, 50 % étaient tout à fait d’accord ou d’accord).

Conclusions: Les résultats du présent sondage serviront à perfectionner ce cours.

Keywords: chiropractic business management; ethics; jurisprudence; student perceptions; survey.
