This study describes the development of an instrument designed to evaluate audiologic counseling skills. In simulated counseling sessions, a trained actor portrayed a parent, and ten graduate audiology students role-played counseling sessions as audiologists informing the "parent" that her infant has a hearing loss. The ten sessions were videotaped, and three raters viewed the taped sessions while evaluating counseling skills with a new evaluation tool, the Audiologic Counseling Evaluation (ACE). The ACE was found to have excellent internal reliability (alpha = .91) and moderate-to-good inter-rater reliability. Raters' subjective evaluations of the tool were generally positive, and students' evaluations of the simulated counseling experience were overwhelmingly so. This instrument can be used by audiology faculty and clinical instructors to help students improve their counseling skills before interacting with parents. It can also be used in clinical settings for professional development by way of self- and peer-evaluation.
本研究描述了一种旨在评估听力学咨询技能的工具的开发过程。在模拟咨询环节中，一名经过培训的演员扮演家长，十名听力学专业研究生扮演听力学家，与“家长”进行咨询环节的角色扮演，告知其婴儿有听力损失。这十个环节都进行了录像，三名评估者观看录像，并使用一种新的评估工具——听力学咨询评估（ACE）来评估咨询技能。结果发现，ACE具有出色的内部信度（α = 0.91）和中等至良好的评分者间信度。评估者对该工具的主观评价总体上是积极的，学生对模拟咨询体验的评价绝大多数也是如此。听力学教师和临床教师可以使用这种工具，帮助学生在与家长互动之前提高他们的咨询技能。它还可以通过自我评估和同伴评估的方式，用于临床环境中的专业发展。
