Abstract

Proficiency in English is an essential skill for physiotherapy students, given the extensive medical literature published in English and the necessity for effective communication with international patients. Therefore, the development of the "English for Physiotherapy" (EFP) module is crucial for enhancing the English language capabilities of physiotherapy students. This article presents a systematic review that evaluates the effectiveness of the EFP module in improving English proficiency among these students. The methodology involves a comprehensive review of relevant studies, which indicates that the EFP module significantly enhances English skills, particularly in understanding medical literature and interacting with patients. The review demonstrates that modules specifically designed around physiotherapy terminology are more effective than general English modules, as they improve both academic comprehension and professional communication skills. The findings of this study aim to advocate for the development of more specialized English language modules within physiotherapy programs to better prepare students for the global challenges they may encounter in their practice.

Abstract

This systematic review aims to analyze the influence of English language proficiency on pharmacists' communication skills in pharmaceutical services. The review of five studies indicates that strong English proficiency significantly enhances the effectiveness of medication counseling, interdisciplinary collaboration, and comprehension of scientific literature supporting evidence-based practice. The findings highlight the importance of contextual and continuous English language training for pharmacists, as well as the integration of English for Pharmacy Purposes (EPP) into pharmacy education curricula. It can be concluded that English proficiency is an essential competency that supports the quality of pharmaceutical care and patient safety.

Abstract

As individuals enter old age, they typically experience a decline in physical condition, characterized by reduced muscle strength that subsequently impairs bodily movement and functionality. These age-related physical changes often result in mobility impairments, limiting the elderly’s ability to maintain postural stability necessary for performing daily activities, and thereby increasing the risk of falls. Balance disorders are among the primary factors contributing to the elderly’s vulnerability to physical injuries from falls. This study, presented in the form of a literature review, aims to explore strategies for enhancing postural stability as a means to mitigate fall risk among older adults. Employing a scoping review methodology, this research investigates the effectiveness of balance exercise interventions in fall prevention. The literature search was conducted systematically following the PRISMA 2020 Flow Diagram guidelines and utilized three primary databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SAGE Journals. The findings indicate that several exercise-based interventions, such as the Balance-Enhancing Exercise Program (BEEP), Walking Meditation, and Multi-system Physical Exercise (MPE) are effective in reducing the likelihood of falls in the elderly. It is concluded that fall risk is a significant concern among older individuals; however, this risk can be managed, particularly in those who engage in regular physical training and possess sound mental health. Among the evaluated interventions, the Self-Administered Balance-Enhancing Exercise Program (BEEP) appears to be the most effective in minimizing fall risk in elderly populations.
