Full Text Screening

School psychologists are asked to systematically evaluate the effects of their work to ensure quality standards. Given the different types of methods applied to different users of school psychology measuring the effects of school psychological services is a complex task. Thus, the focus of our scoping review was to systematically investigate the state of past research on the measurement of the effects of school psychological services published between 1998 and 2018 in eight major school psychological journals. Of the 5,048 peer-reviewed articles published within this period, 623 were coded by two independent raters as explicitly refering to school psychology or counseling in the school context in their titles or abstracts. However, only 22 included definitions of effects of school psychological services or described outcomes used to evaluate school psychological services based on full text screening. These findings revealed that measurement of the effects of school psychological services has not been a focus of research despite its' relevance in guidelines of school psychological practice.

Perceptions Of School

This study examined the influence of demographic variables on the perceptions of 191 teachers, 90 administrators, and 51 school psychologists when establishing preference rankings in five areas of school psychological services: priority for referral, information-gathering techniques, utilization of the school psychologist, effectiveness with exceptional children, and strategies of remediation employed. A nonparametric analysis of rank indicated contradictory perceptions among the respondents. Age, sex, degree, experience, and level of assignment affected the subjects' perceptions variously. Explanations were proposed.

The Impact

As a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the implementation of teleconsultation in the delivery of school psychological services has increased notoriously in many countries throughout the last year. With the aim of supporting evidence-based practices on this matter, we conducted a rapid systematic evidence review on the efficacy of teleconsultation as compared to in-person consultation in the delivery of school psychological services. From a total of 3,873 references identified through our search, only three (< 1%) reports met eligibility criteria for this review. One of these studies showed serious risk of bias according to the ROBINS-I rating scale (Sterne et al., 2016) and was therefore excluded from further analyses. Due to insufficient data, we were unable to compute meta-analyses and for this reason summarized the available evidence in a narrative style. Overall, the limited evidence that we identified seems to indicate that the impact of teleconsultation in the delivery of school psychological services on consumer satisfaction and evaluated mental health outcomes of service users is equivalent or slightly higher to in-person consultation. However, this information needs to be interpreted with caution due to the scarcity of available data, as well as methodological limitations. Our findings may serve as a basis for policymakers and school psychologists to guide an evidence-based implementation of teleconsultation practices, as well as a starting point for researchers to build on previous work when designing future studies in this field.
