The current study sought to explore audiologists' use of the Ida Institute Motivation Tools to help them identify clients' readiness for change within initial assessment appointments. The study involved a mixed methods intervention design. Data were collected pre- and post-training audiologists to use the Ida Motivation tools in their appointments. Appointments were video-recorded and analysed using conversation analysis. Clients and audiologists also completed questionnaires within each appointment to measure clients' readiness-for-change. Participants included 5 audiologists and 22 adult clients from two Audiology clinics. Audiologists incorporated the Ida Motivation tools into the post-training appointments without a significant increase in appointment time. The Ida tools solicited responses from clients that displayed their ambivalence regarding hearing rehabilitation/aids within their talk. Post-training, audiologists' perceptions of clients' stage of readiness were not significantly more likely to match clients' self-reported stage on the URICA. The Ida Motivation tools may be useful to solicit clients' ambivalent feelings towards hearing rehabilitation/aids, however, it is important for audiologists to actively listen for ambivalence within clients' interactional responses to the tools in order judge clients' readiness.
本研究旨在探讨听力学家如何使用 Ida 研究所动机工具,以帮助他们在初始评估预约中识别客户对改变的准备情况。该研究采用混合方法干预设计。在培训前后收集了听力学家使用 Ida 动机工具的预约数据。使用会话分析对预约进行视频记录和分析。客户和听力学家还在每次预约中完成了问卷,以衡量客户对改变的准备情况。参与者包括来自两个听力诊所的 5 名听力学家和 22 名成年客户。听力学家在培训后将 Ida 动机工具纳入预约,但预约时间没有明显增加。Ida 工具从客户那里收集了回应,这些回应显示了他们在听力康复/助听方面的矛盾心理。培训后,听力学家对客户准备程度的看法与客户在 URICA 上自我报告的阶段不太匹配。Ida 动机工具可能有助于了解客户对听力康复/助听的矛盾感受,但听力学家需要积极倾听客户对工具的互动反应中的矛盾心理,以便判断客户的准备情况。
