Exploring facilitators and barriers for delivering person-centered care in a socio-economically diverse context: Perspectives of speech-language pathologists and audiologists.
Patient Education and Counseling 2024 March 14
OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to explore facilitators and barriers in delivering person-centered care from the perspective of speech-language pathologists and audiologists in a socio- economically diverse workplace across micro, meso, and macro levels.
METHOD: A national cross-sectional e-survey was conducted among pooled speech-language pathologists and/or audiologists from South Africa. The e-survey included quantitative components to describe participant demographics which was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The qualitative data was analyzed using metaphor and thematic analysis approaches to describe respondents' perspectives of barriers and facilitators in delivering person-centered care.
RESULTS: The e-survey was completed by 63 clinicians (36.5% Audiologists; 36.5% Speech-Language Therapists; 27.0% dually qualified Speech-Language Therapists and Audiologists) mostly between the ages of 26 to 35 years old (33.3%). Respondents were working in various settings including the public sector (41.3%), private sector (44.4%) and in academia (14.3%). Facilitators and barriers were identified within all three systems (macro, meso and micro). The metaphor analysis resulted in six categories: uncertainty of Person centered care; its essential nature; associated challenges; relational aspect; analogies referring to animals; and food-related analogies. Thematic analysis of open-ended questions revealed five barriers, with three relating to micro systems; i) clinician factors, ii) client factors, iii) clinician and client interaction, and two related to factors within the meso system; iv) resources, and v) workplace. Only two themes were identified as facilitators towards PCC, clinician factors (mirco) and workplace factors (meso).'
CONCLUSIONS: Insights gained from exploring Speech-Language Pathologists' and Audiologists' perceptions of implementing PCC in a socio-economically diverse setting highlight the need to address contextual (meso and macro systems) and personal (micro system) factors to promote and deliver PCC effectively. Notably, for the public sector, resources emerged as a major concern and barrier on the macro system level. Despite these challenges, the investigation revealed two noteworthy facilitators: clinician factors, at the micro level, and workplace factors, at the meso level. This nuanced understanding emphasizes the necessity of tailored interventions targeting both individual and systemic aspects to enhance the successful implementation of person-centered care.
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Strategies should focus on enhancing clinicians' communication skills, collaboration, and teamwork, as well as addressing resource limitations through the adaptation of tools and implementation of PCC ISO standards.
