This research explored the experiences and perspectives of speech-language pathology graduates from a regional university regarding their pathway to the rural health workforce. Using a qualitative research design involving semi-structured focus groups, the role and interaction of factors that influenced their rural pathway were examined. The study also investigated how the pathways of speech-language pathology graduates reflected and/or deviated from those identified within other health professions. Participants included eight graduates from a regional university. All participants were female, grew up in rural areas and worked rurally. Reflexive thematic analysis with an inductive approach was conducted to identify and analyze recurring patterns of meaning. Three key themes were identified: returning home and coming ‘full circle back’, ‘having [… the] opportunity’, and working in a team is ‘very important’. A key finding of this study was that connectedness to family, friends, partners, rural communities, supervisors, and other health professionals was strongly influential in participants’ pathway to the rural health workforce. This study also revealed individualized, unique interactions between factors and variations across life stages. The findings of this study suggest that providing accessible speech-language pathology education to rural students and providing quality support and professional development in workplaces may be beneficial in addressing current workforce shortages.","PeriodicalId":43000,"journal":{"name":"Speech Language and Hearing","volume":"25 1","pages":"203 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81727682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To instill person-centered care (PCC) in health training requires prioritization of PCC concepts. Focusing on Speech-Language Pathology and/or Audiology (SLP/A) this study aimed to (i) measure student preferences towards PCC using the modified Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (mPPOS) (ii) to determine predictors towards these preferences and (iii) describe students’ views and experiences towards PCC. A mixed-method design was followed utilizing an online survey and four focus group discussions. The survey included demographic questions, the modified Patient-Practitioner-Orientation Scale (mPPOS), the Ten-Item-Personality-Inventory (TIPI) and an open-ended question. The focus group discussions included prompting questions which facilitated an open-ended discussion. A total of 321 students (54.5% SLP) completed the online survey across all seven South African Universities, and 16 students (39% Audiology students) participated in the focus group discussions. High preference towards person-centeredness with a mean mPPOS score of 4.3 (SD 0.6) was obtained. Quantile regression analysis revealed eight common predictors towards PCC preferences. Three main categories emerged from the open-ended question and focus group discussions: (i) client-clinician relationship (ii) barriers towards PCC and (iii) PCC training. Although students have a preference for and an understanding of PCC, there are important factors to consider during training. Curriculum enhancement can nurture and foster the skills required to provide care that is more person-centered.","PeriodicalId":43000,"journal":{"name":"Speech Language and Hearing","volume":"8 1","pages":"187 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75084480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The available evidence suggests that the learner, environment, and training design might influence VFSS analysts’ skill development. Aims: To identify the factors that VFSS analysts perceive to influence VFSS training. Methods & Procedures: In this qualitative study we interviewed nine speech pathologists from three countries who train VFSS analysts. The interviews followed a semi-structured guide to obtain data describing the trajectory of skill development and the influence of the learner, environment, and training design. We completed a thematic analysis using a simultaneously deductive and inductive approach. Outcomes & Results: Participants indicated that they believed that a trainee’s clinical experience, cognitive attributes, and learning preferences may influence their skill development. Trainers perceived a need to balance increasing the complexity of the task against maintaining the trainee’s confidence. The opportunity to practise and receive feedback was considered important. Barriers to practice were discussed. Training was perceived to have increased in complexity as the field of dysphagia has matured. Participants discussed the interacting demands of time and competency in this evolving environment. Conclusions & Implications: VFSS analytical skill development requires an investment of time by the trainee, trainer, and service. Trainers perceived that the trajectory of training and the time taken to reach competency varied according to the trainee, trainer, training design, and training environment factors. Future research into the impact of these influences and training content is needed to identify ways to provide sufficient practice and support learner differences to reduce the costs and time associated with training.","PeriodicalId":43000,"journal":{"name":"Speech Language and Hearing","volume":" 28","pages":"223 - 234"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72380220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors found moderate correlations between ICS ratings with percentages of consonants, vowels, and phoneme correct and cut-o ff scores to dis-tinguish the children with speech sound disorders from those with typical development.
