The purpose of this review is to determine the scope of peer-reviewed empirical research related to counselling in audiology with patients using hearing technology and to identify limitations and gaps to guide recommendations for future research.
A rapid evidence assessment was used to identify relevant articles for the review.
Eighteen articles met the inclusion criteria.
Three themes were identified: (1) audiologist counselling perspectives, (2) counselling communication trends in practice and (3) audiologist experiences with professional training and reported patient outcomes. Findings revealed audiologists are more confident providing information than counselling that addresses adjustment aspects, and other communication gaps have been observed.
There is limited research related to counselling in audiology. Audiologists continue to report a need for more training in counselling in their graduate programmes. Additional research is needed to determine effective ways to implement counselling in practice and to improve graduate student supervision for the development of counselling competencies and confidence in using skills in practice.
本综述的目的是确定与听力技术使用者听力咨询相关的同行评审实证研究范围，并识别局限性和差距，以指导未来研究建议。
采用快速证据评估来识别综述的相关文章。
18篇文章符合纳入标准。
确定了三个主题：（1）听力学家咨询观点；（2）实践中的咨询沟通趋势；（3）听力学家的专业培训经历及报告的患者结果。研究结果显示，听力学家在提供信息方面比处理适应方面的咨询更有信心，并且观察到了其他沟通差距。
与听力咨询相关的研究有限。听力学家继续报告在其研究生课程中需要更多的咨询培训。需要更多研究来确定在实践中实施咨询的有效方法，并改善研究生指导，以培养咨询能力和在实践中运用技能的信心。
