需要对临床医生进行培训和监督,以将循证实践转移到社区治疗组织。标准化患者 (SP) 用于临床医生培训和评估。然而,为了对药物滥用咨询师发挥作用,SP 必须真实地描绘药物滥用治疗的客户。当前的研究评估了 SP 作为药物滥用治疗客户的真实性。二十一名药物滥用咨询师采访了具有不同背景的 SP。辅导员对 SP 真实性进行定量和定性评级。还分析了辅导员对研究程序的反应。定量结果包括对 SP 的高真实性评级,但咨询师的主观反应各不相同。辅导员对参与研究的经历给予了积极评价,并为该方法的未来应用提供了建设性意见。结果支持 SP 未来作为药物滥用咨询教学和评估工具的工作。调查结果还表明需要完善 SP 作为药物滥用客户的真实性定义。
Clinician training and supervision are needed to transfer evidence-based practices to community-based treatment organizations. Standardized patients (SPs) are used for clinician training and evaluating. However, to be effective for substance abuse counselors, SPs must realistically portray substance abuse treatment clients. The current study assessed authenticity of SPs as substance abuse treatment clients. Twenty-one substance abuse counselors interviewed SP(s) with differing profiles. Counselors provided quantitative and qualitative ratings of SP authenticity. Counselor responses to the study procedures were analyzed as well. Quantitative results include high-authenticity ratings for the SPs but counselors’ subjective responses varied. Counselor's rated the experience of participating in the study positively and provided constructive comments for future applications of this methodology. Results support future work on SPs as teaching and evaluation tools in substance abuse counseling. Findings also illustrate the need to refine definitions of authenticity for SPs as substance abuse clients.
