Audiological Counseling in Clinical Practice
The study aimed to survey theoretical and practical courses in counseling offered to students and time spent with patients in various counseling sessions given to patients by practicing audiologists. The study also examined the audiologist’s ability to provide different types of counseling services and professional preparation on counseling skills. Twenty-five practicing audiologists participated in the study. Approximately, 50% of audiologists had some counseling training as part of their curriculum of study. In the audiologists’ respective clinical work, more emphasis has been given to providing information, with less time to personal adjustment counseling. A higher number of practitioners advocated for a need to increase time or credit allocated to the teaching of personal-adjustment counseling. Implications of study are discussed.
- Importance of personal adjustment counseling in clinical practice
- The role of information and personal adjustment counseling in clinical practice
- Curriculum upgrade to include beyond only information on use of rehabilitative devices to include general adjustment techniques
