چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patient-centeredness is a critical approach to rehabilitation in allied health professions and is an imperative component of evidence-based practice. However, it is unknown if patient-centeredness is valued by students enrolled in allied health. This study was aimed at determining preferences to patient-centeredness in pre-service speech and hearing students in the field of speech and hearing sciences. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Pre-service speech and hearing students (n=93) completed the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS) and were grouped according to low, medium, or high exposure to curriculum content. RESULTS Across exposure levels, students exhibited high preference to patient centeredness with a mean PPOS score of 4.13 (standard deviation-0.5). A pairedsample t-test revealed a significant difference (p≤0.0001) between the caring and sharing subscales of the PPOS with lower mean scores on the caring subscale. No significant differences were noted across levels of exposure for sharing subscale, caring subscale, or PPOS full-scale. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest a need for curriculum enhancement focused on improved caring and empathy.
