A Pilot Study of Person-Centered Care in the Diagnostic Audiology Curriculum
To explore the integration of the Person-Centered Care (PCC) concept into the Diagnostic Audiology course and assess its teaching effectiveness in providing medical humanistic education.
Methods
2
Twenty-six undergraduate students majoring in Hearing and Speech Rehabilitation (class of 2023) were included. Over a 14-week course
the six core elements of PCC were embedded throughout lectures
laboratory sessions
and case-based teaching. Structured questionnaires covering seven domains (diagnostic skills and communication competence) were administered before and after the course. A 3-point Likert scale was used
and comparisons were analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Course satisfaction was also evaluated.
Results
2
The students demonstrated significant improvements in PCC knowledge
pure-tone audiometry
speech audiometry
ac
oustic immittance
auditory-evoked potentials
otoacoustic emissions
tinnitus assessment
and communication skills (
r
=0.66~0.87
P
<
0.001). Overall course satisfaction was 100%(95%
CI
:0.87~1.00). Open-ended feedback emphasized the need for more diverse case scenarios
enhanced communication training
and additional clinical observation opportunities.
Conclusion
2
This pilot study provides preliminary evidence that systematically embedding PCC into a diagnostic audiology curriculum is feasible and may foster the coordinated development of students' professional skills and humanistic competencies. Further verification with randomized and longitudinal studies is needed.
