Nurses screened all new admissions for communication difficulty using the Inpatient Functional Communication Interview, Screening Questionnaire (IFCI-SQ). Patients identified as having communication difficulty were interviewed by a speech-language pathologist (SLP) using the Inpatient Functional Communication Interview (IFCI). During the interview, the SLP trialled different communication supports. The number of patients who had communication difficulty on the IFCI-SQ was calculated. The number and type of communication supports that improved communication within the patient-SLP interview were calculated. Deductive-dominant qualitative content analysis was conducted on the communication supports used during the IFCI.Result: Seventy patients were screened. Nurses reported communication difficulty in 45/70 (64%) of patients. A total of 15/45 patients were interviewed by an SLP using the IFCI. The provision of communication supports improved communication for all patients within the context of the patient-SLP interview.Conclusion: Many sub-acute rehabilitation inpatients have communication difficulty in the hospital setting. A range of communication supports facilitated communication.

Within their groups, the collated suggestions were sorted based on similarity, and individually rated on a 5-point scale based on importance and changeability. Using cluster and bivariate analysis, clusters of similar suggestions and prioritised suggestions for service optimisation were identified.Result: The SLPs and managers proposed 73 and 51 unique suggestions respectively. Six clusters were identified for each group, with similar themes suggesting agreement of service improvements. All clusters were rated as more important than changeable. The managers perceived services as easier to change. The SLPs and managers rated 37% (27/73) and 43% (22/51) of suggestions, respectively, as high priority, with similarities relating to workforce capacity and capability, support and services access, care transitions, and telehealth services.Conclusion: Prioritised enhancements identified by SLPs and managers provide direction for dysphagia service optimisation in Singapore.","PeriodicalId":49047,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"56-69"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140029400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scoping review aimed to identify and map the evidence in relation to managing cyberbullying among adolescents aged 10-19 with neurodevelopmental disorders.Method: The following databases were searched: ProQuest (including dissertations and theses), PsychInfo, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Two independent reviewers screened the studies in two stages: Title and abstract, and full text.Result: Twenty-nine studies were included; 19 involved exploring existing strategies used by adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders, their parents, teachers, or service providers, to manage cyberbullying. The remaining 10 papers implemented and evaluated the effectiveness of cyberbullying prevention and/or intervention programmes.Conclusion: While there is some emerging evidence for the efficacy of cyberbullying programs for adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders, the literature is sparse. Future research should explore the efficacy of programmes delivered at classroom, small group, and individual levels and examine how adolescents with a range of neurodevelopmental disorders and diverse learning needs respond to such programmes.

Participants responded to questions about knowledge they thought was important for interpreters to know before collaborating in early-intervention and their best and worst experiences when collaborating with interpreters. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of participants' responses were undertaken.Result: Less than half of the 27 speech-language pathologists reported that a qualified interpreter was always used in appointments. Speech-language pathologists stated that the most important information for interpreters to know before an appointment included key terminology in both languages and the purpose of the appointment for which they were interpreting. Major themes relating to before, during, and after the session were identified. Subthemes relating to briefing, procedural skills and prior knowledge, and environmental factors were identified.Conclusion: Speech-language pathologists identified significant barriers to effective collaboration with interpreters in early-intervention settings.

Descriptive statistics were obtained and a reflexive thematic approach was used to analyse the transcripts.Result: Six final-year speech-language pathology students on their entry-level 32-day adult placement participated. This novel placement model was perceived as highly successful, fostering competence, confidence, and professional identity. Contextual factors were viewed as critical to its success and related to both the hybrid placement and supervision model components. The importance of diverse and practical learning experiences, a supportive learning environment, and the supervision style of the primary clinical educator were viewed as important for learning success.Conclusion: It appears that a hybrid placement experience embedding traditional and student-led clinic elements and combining supervision models, can optimise the development of occupational and professional competence in undergraduate speech-language pathologists. Clinical educators who allow increased opportunities for 'learning from mistakes', and a positive learning culture that fosters connectedness, are important to facilitate undergraduate speech-language pathologists' independent decision making and improved confidence.","PeriodicalId":49047,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143014168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
