转诊来源和父母在神经心理学评估后重视报告。然而,主要利益相关者将儿科报告描述为长度和术语过多。最近的研究表明,有可能修改儿科神经心理学报告,为关键利益相关者和临床医生带来积极的结果。有必要为其他提供者评估改良的儿科神经心理学报告。学校心理学家是阅读此类报告并与之互动的关键利益相关者。这项研究评估了学校心理学家对改良的儿科神经心理学报告的看法。41名学校心理学家被随机分配阅读传统或修改版本的儿科报告,并通过调查和定性问题提供反馈。结果显示,学校心理学家对传统报告和修改报告的看法没有显着差异。定性,受访者指出,建议和学校系统之间存在脱节。这些发现表明,儿科神经心理学家可以创建更短,更容易理解的报告,而不会影响学校心理学家的有效性。未来的研究应继续评估其他关键利益相关者对改良儿科神经心理学报告的看法。更好地了解建议之间的脱节及其在学校中的可行性,以及增加跨学科合作的障碍,对于客户关怀也是必不可少的。
Referral sources and parents value the report following a neuropsychological evaluation. Nevertheless, key stakeholders have described pediatric
reports as excessive in length and jargon. Recent research indicates that it is possible to modify pediatric neuropsychological
reports that result in positive outcomes for key stakeholders and clinicians. Evaluating modified pediatric neuropsychological
reports for other providers is necessary. School psychologists are key stakeholders who read and interact with such
reports. This study assessed school psychologists\' perceptions of a modified pediatric neuropsychological report. Forty-one school psychologists were randomly assigned to read either a traditional or modified version of a pediatric report and provide feedback via survey and qualitative questions. Results revealed that school psychologists\' perceptions of a traditional and modified report were not significantly different. Qualitatively, respondents noted a disconnect between recommendations and school systems. These findings suggest that pediatric neuropsychologists can create shorter and more easily understood reports that do not impact the effectiveness for school psychologists. Future research should continue to evaluate perceptions of modified pediatric neuropsychological
reports for additional key stakeholders. A better understanding of the disconnect between recommendations and their feasibility in schools, as well as barriers to increased interdisciplinary collaboration, is also essential for client care.
