Program Graduate

This study focused on graduates from graduate level rehabilitation counseling training programs located in Region IX (Arizona, California, Hawaii, & Nevada). The study invoived administering a manpower questionnaire to a 61% random sample of graduates from 1977 through 1980 from 10 Rehabilitation Counseling training programs. Questionnaire items addressed graduates' satisfaction concerning their training program, graduate employability, present employment status, and satisfaction level with their present rehabilitation occupational position. Results indicated that the masters degree in rehabilitation counseling is formidable with 92% of the graduates employed and 82% of the graduates presently employed in the field of rehabilitation. The major employers of graduates were private rehabilitation agencies and non-profit rehabilitation facilities. Graduates were employed at an average of 1.3 months after graduation, and were either immediately employed as supervisors/administraton, or moved into these job categories very soon after employment. The importance of implementing and conducting cyclic rehabilitation manpower studies is discussed in terms of providing effective manpower information for planning and accountability.

Introductory Course

The number and level of psychiatric counseling training programs in 47 CORE-accredited programs across the country was examined in this study. Approximately 85% of the programs surveyed thought that graduates should provide information to consumers about the psychiatric rehabilitation process. With respect to an introductory course in psychiatric rehabilitation, sample results indicated that 40% programs offered a course, 36% offered related partial course content, and 19% offered no course or content at all. Results of studies indicate a need for more psychiatric counseling content. Suggestions are given to enable the inclusion of psychiatric rehabilitation content into existing rehabilitation counseling programs.

The Social

The academic field and the professional practice of rehabilitation counseling focuses on one aspect of social justice, assisting individuals with disabilities to attain full community inclusion. Nonetheless, social justice focuses on many marginalized groups and in the related fields of counseling and psychology, those with disabilities are rarely considered to be a group experiencing social injustice. Therefore, rehabilitation counseling focuses on a single marginalized status, disability, while counseling and psychology tend to ignore disability. The goal of this article is to argue for more comprehensive training in graduate rehabilitation counseling training programs. To this end, four topics are presented: (1) a review of the social justice literature; (2) possible explanations for the findings of this review; (3) obstacles to the inclusion of social justice in the rehabilitation curriculum; and (4) recommendations for incorporating social justice into the graduate rehabilitation curriculum.

Organizational Demands

Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are being developed in all types of organizations. This development is seen as a valuable opportunity for employment of rehabilitation counselors. A rationale which suggests that rehabilitation counseling training is appropriate for EAP work is presented. Employee assistance programs are described as following three models: (a) the In-house model, (b) the Consortium model, and (c) the Trained agent model. The functioning of a rehabilitation counselor under each is described. Organizational demands on a counselor working in an EAP in a profitoriented organization also are discussed. A brief discussion which explains how rehabilitation counseling training programs can be modified to develop a specialty in EAP work is presented. Considerations which potential EAP counselors should weigh before planning to enter EAP work are discussed. Finally, resources for learning more about EAPs are identified.

Burn Out

Abstract Background Almost half of trainees experience burnout during their career. Despite the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) recommendation that training programs enact well-being curricula, there is no proven method of addressing this difficult topic. Methods We created a curriculum addressing physician resiliency and well-being, designed for an Internal Medicine Residency Program. This curriculum utilized episodes from a medical television series, Scrubs, to facilitate a monthly, 1-h faculty guided discussion group. We collected informal feedback and abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventories (aMBI) monthly and conducted a formal focus group after 6 months to gauge its effectiveness. Results The curriculum was successfully conducted for 12 months with each session averaging 18–20 residents. Residents reported high satisfaction, stating it was more enjoyable and helpful than traditional resiliency training. 19 of 24 residents (79 %) completed a baseline aMBI, and 17 of 20 residents (85 %) who attended the most recent session completed the 6-month follow-up, showing a non-significant 1-point improvement in all subsets of the aMBI. Conclusions This novel, low-cost, easily implemented curriculum addressed resiliency and burn-out in an Internal Medicine Residency. It was extremely well received and can easily be expanded to other training programs or to providers outside of training.

Underlying Mechanisms

Abstract Background Work-related stress shows steadily increasing prevalence rates and has tangible consequences for individual workers, their organizations, and society as a whole. One mechanism that may help offset the negative outcomes of work-related stress on employees’ well-being is recovery. Recovery refers to the experience of unwinding from one's job when not at work. However, employees who experience high levels of work-related stress and are thus particularly in need of recovery tend to struggle to switch-off. Due to the detrimental effects of this prolonged and sustained mental representation of job stressors, interventions promoting recovery may contribute to improvements in employees' mental health. Methods In this randomized, waitlist controlled trial, we will investigate the effectiveness of two 6-week online training programs (cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based). The sample will include employees working at least part-time during regular work hours. Besides the pre-post-follow-up assessments, the trial will include measurement bursts with the goal of examining the underlying mechanisms. We expect that both interventions will reduce work-related perseverative thinking (PT) compared with the waitlist control groups (primary outcome). Also, we expect that both interventions will result in similar improvements, but the underlying mechanisms will differ (process outcomes). In the cognitive-behavioral intervention group, we expect that the main mechanism responsible for lower PT levels will be an increase in recovery experiences across time. In the mindfulness-based group, we expect that the main mechanism responsible for lower PT levels will be an increase in facets of mindfulness across time. Discussion In the present study, we will investigate mechanisms underlying assumed changes in work-related PT in great detail. Besides evaluating the overall effectiveness of the two interventions in terms of pre-post-follow-up changes, we will look at the underlying processes at different levels—that is, within days, within weeks, across weeks, and between individuals. Accordingly, our study will offer a fine-grained approach to investigating potential determinants, mediators, and moderators of the processes that may, in the end, be responsible for work-related strain. From a public health perspective, if effective, the online training programs may offer valuable, low-threshold, and low-intensity interventions for a broad range of occupations.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

This semi-experimental study examines how Mindfulness facilitates a distress reduction in a group of health professionals. The sample comprises 29 professionals seeking stress reduction who undertook an 8 weeks psico-educative intervention, involving 28 hours of class, based on a program called Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction or MBSR. Results show a 35% reduction of distress, from percentile 75 to 45, combined with a 30% reduction in rumination and a 20% decrease in negative affect. These benefits lasted during the 3 months of the follow up period. The correlation analysis indicates that the decrease in distress is significantly related to the other two variables. These results confirm the effectiveness of MBSR to decrease distress and its applicability in training programs for health professionals.

A systematic review was conducted for a state-sponsored workforce board, a non-profit quasi-governmental workforce development organization located in the northeastern U.S., to determine what are the most effective career training programs in healthcare, advanced manufacturing, hospitality, and marine economy industries for job seekers in U.S. based organizations. The absorptive capacity theory was utilized in examining the research problem through a theoretical lens. The results indicated that on-the-job training (OJT) was found to be the most effective training technique across all the industries. Career advising was also considered a crucial element of career training within the healthcare, hospitality, and marine economy industries. Recommendations for the workforce board included revamping their current OJT program and connecting with career advisors at the local high schools. Industry-specific recommendations for the workforce board included providing academic support in healthcare, workforce flexibility in advanced manufacturing, multilingual training in hospitality, and exposure to oceanic concepts in academics for the marine economy.

AbstractCounseling in audiology is an important aspect of service delivery. How audiologists interact with patients and foster counseling relationships to help patients and families understand and live with hearing loss can impact outcomes of audiological interventions. Currently, variability exists in how graduate training programs are teaching counseling skills, and the extent to which counseling skills development is supported in clinical experiences is unclear. This article seeks to explore the perspectives related to the importance of counseling and counseling training experiences received through clinical instruction of Au.D. students beginning their final year of study, to identify where counseling training might be limited, and to examine how counseling skills might be better supported. Findings revealed that students generally appreciate the importance of counseling in audiology. Data suggest that how students are supported in developing counseling skills appears to be variable and unstructured.

Booster Session

The standard for mindfulness training programs, including MBSR, is an 8-week, weekly format. This chapter provides the structure for an optional follow-up or booster session that can occur outside of the standard 8-week structure of the program. The booster can be scheduled for a one-month follow-up after the group ends. At the facilitator’s discretion, you may wish to schedule additional boosters, such as at 3 months or even 1 year (such as was done in the original Wisdom Mind study). A booster session can be used to enhance ongoing engagement by promoting continued connection between participants and to troubleshoot difficulties with the practices.
