Spiritual healthcare providers (e.g., chaplains) working in healthcare settings across the United States were surveyed with the goals of (1) understanding their awareness of aphasia (a language disorder affecting reading, writing, verbal communication, and auditory comprehension); (2) determining whether they have received any training in aphasia and what type of training has been received; (3) whether they altered their approach to assessing the spiritual well-being of a person with aphasia; and, (4) what tools were used to augment communication. From a convenience sample of 203 respondents, the results indicated that 96% of respondents had previously heard of aphasia and 85% of respondents correctly identified the definition of aphasia. Seventy-three percent of respondents (N = 128) altered their approach to spiritual well-being assessment due to the aphasia diagnosis. Most respondents did not indicate receiving any formal training related to aphasia.
在美国各地的医疗保健环境中工作的精神保健提供者（例如牧师）接受了调查，目的是：（1）了解他们对失语症（一种影响阅读，写作，言语交流和听觉理解的语言障碍）的认识；（2）确定他们是否接受过失语症方面的培训以及接受了哪种类型的培训；（3）他们是否改变了评估患有失语症的人的精神健康的方法；以及（4）使用了哪些工具来增强沟通。从 203 名受访者的便利样本中，结果表明，96％的受访者以前听说过失语症，而 85％的受访者正确地定义了失语症。由于失语症的诊断，73％的受访者（N=128）改变了对精神健康评估的方法。大多数受访者表示没有接受过任何与失语症相关的正式培训。
