Background: People who are dealing with difficult changes may benefit from acquiring skills to support decision-making, optimizing their quality of life. GROW model, drown on structured questioning (SQ), can be used by speech and language therapists (SLTs), to support such individuals. Aim: The aim of this project was to define the types of counselling support SLTs provide to their clients prior and after a SQ training. It was also aimed to gather SLTs perceptions about the use of GROW in clinical and personal life, and its influence on their wellbeing. Methods: Thirteen master SLT students were selected by purposive sampling. A mixed method design was followed. Data collection was based on the completion of six questionnaires (quantitative data) and semi-structured interviews (qualitative data). These were conducted prior and post of a two-day training on GROW model and SQ. A thematic analysis was carried out to collect the perception of the participants, while paired Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze participants scores on the questionnaires. Findings: No statistical significant differences were found on participants wellbeing at any evaluation tool. However, participants expressed that GORW can be a useful tool for improving clinical skills and personal goal achievement. Discussion: GROW model and SQ can be beneficial for SLTs, not only in clinical practice, but also for personal goals. Το confirm the effectiveness of the model, more studies are needed. Completed |
