AimThis study explored the partnership between universities and local primary schools to deliver a classroom-based paediatric communication impairment service provided by undergraduate speech pathology students. It aimed to understand how partnerships work to facilitate programme replication.
The partners included universities sending students on rural clinical placement, local host academic units and primary schools who worked together to provide paediatric speech and language services in primary schools in three sites in Australia. Rural and remote communities experience poorer health outcomes because of chronic workforce shortages, social disadvantage and high Aboriginality, poor access to services and underfunding.
The study was in twofold: qualitative analysis of data from interviews/focus group with the partners in the university and education sectors, and quantitative social network analysis of data from an electronic survey of the partners.FindingsFactors supporting partnerships were long-term, work and social relationships, commitment to community, trust and an appetite for risk-taking. We postulate that these characteristics are more likely to exist in rural communities.
目的
本研究探讨了大学与当地小学之间的伙伴关系，以提供由本科言语病理学学生提供的基于课堂的儿科沟通障碍服务。其目的是了解伙伴关系如何促进项目的复制。
合作伙伴包括派遣学生进行农村临床实习的大学、当地的主办学术单位和小学，它们共同努力在澳大利亚三个地点的小学提供儿科言语和语言服务。由于长期劳动力短缺、社会劣势、原住民比例高、服务获取困难和资金不足，农村和偏远社区的健康状况较差。
该研究包括两方面：对来自大学和教育部门合作伙伴的访谈/焦点小组数据进行定性分析，以及对合作伙伴电子调查数据进行定量社会网络分析。
支持伙伴关系的因素包括长期的工作和社会关系、对社区的承诺、信任和冒险意愿。我们推测这些特征在农村社区更有可能存在。
