7-Minute video aims to curb age bias in physical therapy
NCT ID NCT06848413
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 7-minute Arabic educational video can reduce ageism and improve attitudes toward older adults among licensed physical therapists in Saudi Arabia. The video includes animated segments debunking stereotypes and real stories from older adults. Researchers will measure changes in ageism, aging knowledge, and anxiety about interacting with older adults right after watching the video and again one week later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Arabic educational video based on the PEACE model
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this video could be a simple tool to reduce ageism and improve care for older adults in physical therapy settings.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with 110 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The video is in Arabic only and tested on licensed Saudi therapists, limiting generalizability.
