“…Previous research has revealed that CPT with healthcare students can lead to self-reported increases in confidence communicating with PWA and increased recall of strategies for communicating effectively with PWA (Cameron et al, 2015;Jagoe & Roseingrave, 2011;McMenamin et al, 2015). The present study extended this body of research by revealing that participation in a CPT program can encourage speech-language pathology students to use effective communication behaviours during conversation with PWA.…”

Despite receiving specialised training in communication, speech-language pathology students may lack confidence when communicating with People with Aphasia (PWA). This paper reports data from secondary outcome measures from a randomised controlled trial. ObjectiveThe aim of the current study was to examine the effects of communication partner training on the communication skills of speech-language pathology students during conversations with PWA.Method Thirty-eight speech-language pathology students were randomly allocated to trained and untrained groups. The first group received a lecture about communication strategies for communicating with PWA then participated in a conversation with PWA (Trained group), while the second group of students participated in a conversation with the PWA without receiving the lecture (Untrained group). The conversations between the groups were analysed according to the Measure of skill in Supported Conversation (MSC) scales, Measure of Participation in Conversation (MPC) scales, types of strategies used in conversation, and the occurrence and repair of conversation breakdowns. ResultsThe trained group received significantly higher MSC Revealing Competence scores, used significantly more props, and introduced significantly more new ideas into the conversation than the untrained group. The trained group also used more gesture and writing to facilitate the conversation, however, the difference was not significant. There was no significant difference between the groups according to MSC Acknowledging Competence scores, MPC Interaction or Transaction scores, or in the number of interruptions, minor or major conversation breakdowns, or in the success of strategies initiated to repair the conversation breakdowns.Conclusion Speech-language pathology students may benefit from participation in communication partner training programs.CPT and conversation skills 4

BackgroundThe involvement of patients and the public in healthcare has grown significantly in recent decades and is documented in health policy documents internationally. Many benefits of involving these groups in primary care planning have been reported. However, these benefits are rarely felt by those considered marginalised in society and they are often excluded from participating in the process of planning primary care. It has been recommended to employ suitable approaches, such as co-operative and participatory initiatives, to enable marginalised groups to highlight their priorities for care.MethodsThis Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) research study involved 21 members of various marginalised groups who contributed their views about access to primary care. Using a series of PLA techniques for data generation and co-analysis, we explored barriers and facilitators to primary healthcare access from the perspective of migrants, Irish Travellers, homeless people, drug users, sex workers and people living in deprivation, and identified their priorities for action with regard to primary care provision.ResultsFour overarching themes were identified: the home environment, the effects of the ‘two-tier’ healthcare system on engagement, healthcare encounters, and the complex health needs of many in those groups. The study demonstrates that there are many complicated personal and structural barriers to accessing primary healthcare for marginalised groups. There were shared and differential experiences across the groups. Participants also expressed shared priorities for action in the planning and running of primary care services.ConclusionsMembers of marginalised groups have shared priorities for action to improve their access to primary care. If steps are taken to address these, there is scope to impact on more than one marginalised group and to address the existing health inequities.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12939-016-0487-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…At all sites, the academic/researcher participants changed their research approach after the RESTORE project and were more able and willing to engage in new participatory research, to think about and share ideas with others and admit gaps. This led to new national and international initiatives and collaborations for policy and research (Eng,Gre,Ire,Nl20, 21,22).…”

box 9101 (internal route 117) 6500HB Abstract Objective: This study aimed to explore whether positive impacts were sustained and unanticipated ripple effects had occurred four years after the implementation of interventions to improve cross-cultural communication in primary care. Background: Sustaining the implementation of change using complex interventions is challenging. The EU-funded "RESTORE" study implemented guidelines and training on cross-cultural communication in five Primary Care sites in Europe, combining implementation theory (Normalisation Process Theory) with participatory methodology (participatory learning and action-PLA). There were positive impacts on knowledge, skills and clinical routines. Design, setting and participants: Four of the five original sites (England, Ireland, Greece, The Netherlands) were available for this qualitative follow-up study. The study population (N = 44) was primary healthcare staff and migrants, most of whom had participated in RESTORE. Intervention; main outcome measures: PLA-style focus groups and interviews explored routine practice during consultations with migrants. Etic cards based on the effects of RESTORE stimulated the discussion. Deductive framework analysis was performed in each country followed by comparative data analysis and synthesis. Results: Changes in knowledge, attitudes and behaviour with regard to consultations with migrants were sustained and migrants felt empowered by their participation in RESTORE. There were ongoing concerns about macro level factors, like the political climate and financial policies, negatively affecting migrant healthcare.Conclusion: There were sustained effects in clinical settings, and additional unanticipated positive ripple effects, due in part, from the participatory approach employed.
