This research aimed to describe the developmental trajectories of clinical psychology trainees across competency domains over multiple placements.
Competency reviews of 252 trainees were completed at mid-placement and end-placement for up to four consecutive placements by 143 field supervisors. Competency was measured across multiple domains using the Clinical Psychology Practicum Competencies Rating Scale.
There was an overall ascending stepped pattern occurring across all competency domains from early to late placements. The starting point of competency ratings varied across domains with the largest discrepancy between Response to supervision (highest) and Intervention competencies (lowest). There were significant increases from mid-placement to end-placement for all competencies within each of the four placements. There were few significant decreases in competency between different placements and these were largely restricted to the transition from placement one to placement two.
This research has the potential to be used as a benchmark to indicate expected levels of competency attainment for trainees across their training, allowing for early identification of difficulties and more targeted remediation plans.
本研究旨在描述临床心理学受训者在多个实习岗位中跨能力领域的发展轨迹。
143 名现场主管在多达四个连续实习岗位的中期和期末对 252 名受训者进行了能力评估，使用临床心理学实习能力评定量表对多个领域的能力进行了测量。
所有能力领域都呈现出从早期到晚期实习岗位的总体上升阶梯式模式。能力评估的起点因领域而异，其中监督反应（最高）和干预能力（最低）之间的差异最大。在每个实习岗位的中期到期末，所有能力都有显著提高。在不同实习岗位之间，能力的显著下降很少，而且主要局限于从第一个实习岗位到第二个实习岗位的过渡。
本研究可作为基准，用于指示受训者在整个培训过程中预期达到的能力水平，从而能够及早发现困难，并制定更有针对性的补救计划。
