Audiology audiologic counseling RCC relationship-centered care qualitative research focus groups workshop <p>Current students in today’s audiology programs must demonstrate knowledge and skills acquisition that their preceptors may not have had access to when they were in academia themselves. The purpose of this study was to develop the framework for a short-term workshop for experienced audiologists focused on strengthening relationship-centered care (RCC). The workshop was developed to raise awareness of RCC and improve clinical skills related to RCC. The study was conducted in 3 phases using a mixed methodology: Phase I-Subjects participated in a pre-workshop on-line survey (Supervisee Levels Questionnaire-SLQ) and on-line focus group regarding comfort with relationship-building skills. Phase II-Subjects attended a full day workshop focused on relationship-building skills. Phase III-Subjects participated in a post-workshop on-line survey (SLQ) and on-line focus group. The SLQ was used to quantitatively measure change in subjects’ confidence with counseling skills as expressed by an increase in scores across three developmental divisions. The focus group questions were used to collect qualitative data in the subjects’ own words to add value and support to the quantitative findings. There were 13 subjects (licensed audiologists) who participated in all three phases of the study.</p><p>The workshop proved to be a manageable way for experienced, licensed audiologists to gain access to information on RCC skills. There was a statistically significant change in subjects’ scores expressed by one developmental division of the SLQ (Dependency-Autonomy) after attending the workshop focused on strengthening relationship-centered care. Subjects reported “counseling” as an area of strength, but recognized these skills as more informational vs. personal adjustment counseling.</p><p>The subjects did report the RCC skills (whether learned for the first time or renewed awareness) proved beneficial in clinical practice. Subjects acknowledged the benefits of collaborating more with other allied health professionals, especially those that incorporate counseling as part of their everyday clinical work (i.e. genetic counselors). They also reported a desire for an increase in counseling curriculum, skills and acquisitions as well as peer coaching/mentoring opportunities.</p> <p>It is important to gather more information about how to introduce these issues into the mainstream of continuing education for experienced, licensed audiologists who have not otherwise received this information via graduate education or via retooling for the AuD.</p> 2008 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1227230360 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1227230360 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
