UNASSIGNED: A scoping review was conducted using the principles of the transformative research paradigm, which promotes the meaningful involvement and empowerment of marginalised groups. Co-production with minority SLPs was facilitated. The search strategy was run in six databases, and the transformative checklist used for analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Twenty studies were included. Bilingual and male SLPs were among the most commonly included underrepresented SLPs. Most studies were conducted in the USA (n = 16), and used survey methods. The studies provided valuable insights into the experiences and practices of underrepresented SLPs, and yielded practical solutions to foster inclusion and diversity in the profession. Most studies demonstrated a transformative potential, but the active engagement of underrepresented SLP participants in the research cycle was rarely demonstrated.
UNASSIGNED: This review calls for a shift in how and why research is conducted when including underrepresented SLP participants. Through the lens of the transformative research paradigm, we can rethink the broader aim of research and the role of researchers and participants. Using research as a platform to give visibility, voice, and agency to minority groups can stimulate change and equity in the profession.
■使用变革性研究范式的原理进行了范围审查,这促进了边缘化群体的有意义的参与和赋权。促进了与少数SLP的联合生产。搜索策略在六个数据库中运行,以及用于分析的变革性检查表。
■包括20项研究。双语和男性SLP是最常见的被纳入代表不足的SLP。大多数研究在美国进行(n=16),并使用调查方法。这些研究为代表性不足的SLP的经验和做法提供了宝贵的见解,并产生了切实可行的解决方案,以促进该行业的包容性和多样性。大多数研究显示出了变革的潜力,但很少有代表性不足的SLP参与者积极参与研究周期.
■本评论呼吁在包括代表性不足的SLP参与者时如何以及为什么进行研究的方式发生转变。通过变革性研究范式的视角,我们可以重新思考研究的更广泛目标以及研究人员和参与者的作用。利用研究作为提供能见度的平台,声音,对少数群体的代理可以刺激行业的变革和公平。
