| dc.description.abstract | Background: One of the objectives of ESSAlcoitão’s undergraduate course is that future physiotherapists, in addition to being competent professionals, become autonomous, analytical, creative citizens, who know how to solve problems. To this end, one of the pedagogical strategies used is based on an adaptation of the project management methodology, PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments), applied to the development of community projects. During one semester of the 2020/2021 school year, 2 projects were proposed to the students, focusing on supporting individuals in the COVID-19 context. Project methodology was presented to the students, including the various roles and responsibilities (Project Manager, Team, Customer) and subgroups were created to develop sections of the projects, supported by a group of teachers (Subject Matter Experts). Aim: Assess students’ satisfaction in using PRINCE2 methodology in the development of community projects to support individuals after the acute phase of COVID-19 and Long COVID. Methodology: To assess the impact (satisfaction) within the students, an online questionnaire with several dimensions (12 questions) was used. Results: The online questionnaire delivered a response rate of 52.8%. The data revealed a favourable opinion regarding the methodology used, namely that it helped to clarify the role of the interveners (75% agree/totally agree), and that the selected theme was relevant and important (78.6% agree/totally agree). Finally 82.1% (agree/strongly agree) considered that this activity was important for the development of knowledge and professional skills. Conclusions/Implications for physiotherapy: Based on students' responses, we consider the success of the implementation of PRINCE2 methodology to be relevant, making it feasible and advisable to use this project management methodology for the development of future community projects. In this way, future physiotherapists can proactively play a role in local and global efforts to reduce the impact of modifiable risk factors, and of emerging conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. | |
