摘要
研究一致表明,精神疾病遗传咨询(pGC)可以增强患者的能力和自我效能感,缓解内疚等情绪,从而对精神疾病患者有所帮助。然而,这种咨询并不是常规性的。遗传咨询师和受训人员对自己提供有意义的 pGC 的能力信心不足,尤其是在缺乏适当培训的情况下。因此,为了弥补这一不足,我们开发了 "遗传咨询师的精神遗传咨询"(PG4GC)研讨会,并在 2015 年至 2023 年期间向 13 组参与者(主要是合格的遗传咨询师和受训人员)提供了培训(10 次研讨会为现场培训,3 次为虚拟培训)。参与者在完成研讨会之前和之后都填写了定量问卷,以评估他们在提供 pGC 方面的舒适度、知识、行为和装备感。共有 232 人完成了研修班前的问卷调查,154 人完成了研修班后的问卷调查。无论参加者是受训人员还是执业专业人员,也无论他们是亲自参加还是通过虚拟方式完成研修班,参加者都感觉在提供心理咨询方面更加得心应手、知识更加丰富、装备更加齐全,并表示在研修班结束后更有可能解决精神方面的问题。这项研究表明,PG4GC 工作坊是一种有效的心理咨询培训教育工具,可以帮助更广泛地开展心理咨询服务。
The effectiveness of psychiatric genetic counseling training: An analysis of 13 international workshops
Studies have consistently shown that psychiatric genetic counseling (pGC) helps people with psychiatric conditions by increasing empowerment and self-efficacy, and addressing emotions like guilt. Yet, it is not routinely provided. Genetic counselors and trainees express low confidence in their ability to provide meaningful pGC, especially in the absence of adequate training. Therefore, to address this gap a “Psychiatric Genetic Counseling for Genetic Counselors” (PG4GC) workshop was developed and delivered to 13 groups of participants (primarily qualified genetic counselors and trainees) between 2015 and 2023 (10 workshops were delivered in-person, and three virtually). Participants completed quantitative questionnaires both before and after completing the workshop to assess their comfort, knowledge, behavior, and feeling of being equipped to provide pGC. In total, 232 individuals completed the pre-workshop questionnaire and 154 completed the post-workshop questionnaire. Participants felt more comfortable, knowledgeable, and equipped to provide pGC, and reported being more likely to address psychiatric concerns after the workshop, regardless of whether they were trainees or practicing professionals and whether they completed the workshop in-person or virtually. This study suggests that the PG4GC workshop is an effective educational tool in pGC training that may aid in broader implementation of the service.
期刊介绍:
Neuropsychiatric Genetics, Part B of the American Journal of Medical Genetics (AJMG) , provides a forum for experimental and clinical investigations of the genetic mechanisms underlying neurologic and psychiatric disorders. It is a resource for novel genetics studies of the heritable nature of psychiatric and other nervous system disorders, characterized at the molecular, cellular or behavior levels. Neuropsychiatric Genetics publishes eight times per year.
