Structured online training for university students to deliver peer-led addiction counselling for young drug abusers in China: Effect on improving knowledge, attitude, confidence, and skills. PATIENT EDUCATION AND COUNSELING 2022; 105:1009-1017. [PMID: 34334262 DOI: 10.1016/j.pec.2021.07.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Revised: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To measure the effect of a structured online training programme on improving the knowledge, attitude, confidence, and skills of university students to deliver peer-led addiction counselling to young drug abusers. METHODS A structured training programme was designed for university students with a background in health-related disciplines. Pre- and post-training evaluations were conducted for 245 university students with health-related backgrounds who completed the training programme. The participants' knowledge of and attitudes towards drug abuse and their confidence in delivering addiction counselling were evaluated and compared before and after the training. Counselling skills were assessed using a simulated standardised case. RESULTS A paired test indicated that after attending the training programme, the participants' knowledge of and attitudes towards drug abuse and their confidence in delivering addiction counselling were significantly improved. Most of the trained participants demonstrated satisfactory counselling skills. CONCLUSION Participation in a one-day structured addiction training programme significantly improved students' knowledge of and attitudes towards drug abuse and their confidence and skills to deliver addiction counselling. PRACTICE IMPLICATION Future research should elucidate the implementation of the counselling skills in terms of the counselling outcomes and successful referral. The clients' health outcomes should be assessed to reflect the peer counsellors' skills.

Abstract
Objectives: This study conducted a linguistic and psychometric evaluation of the Chinese Counseling Competencies Scale-Revised (CCS-R). Methods: The Chinese CCS-R was created from the original English version using a standard forward-backward translation process. The psychometric properties of the Chinese CCS-R were examined in a cohort of 208 counselors-in-training by two independent raters. Fifty-three counselors-in-training were asked to undergo another counseling performance evaluation for the test-retest. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted for the Chinese CCS-R, followed by internal consistency, test-retest reliability, inter-rater reliability, convergent validity, and concurrent validity. Results: The results of the CFA supported the factorial validity of the Chinese CCS-R, with adequate construct replicability. The scale had a McDonald's omega of 0.876, and intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.63 and 0.90 for test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability, respectively. Significantly positive correlations were observed between the Chinese CCS-R score and scores of performance checklist (Pearson's γ = 0.781), indicating a large convergent validity, and knowledge on drug abuse (Pearson's γ = 0.833), indicating a moderate concurrent validity. Conclusion: The results support that the Chinese CCS-R is a valid and reliable measure of the counseling competencies. Practice implication: The CCS-R provides trainers with a reliable tool to evaluate counseling students' competencies and to facilitate discussions with trainees about their areas for growth.

Abstract
Using narrative analysis, the experiences of 7 Canadian counselor trainees with eating issues were explored for meanings of shame and resilience. Shame was experienced as layers of discounting and disconnection from self and others, which served as barriers to help seeking and recovery. Trainees' attempts to overcome shame were characterized by a dialectic conflict of protecting shame vs. prioritizing recovery. Finding a culture of safety and belonging, invalidating perfection, and redefining ideals emerged as elements that fostered resilience from the layers of shame. Recommendations for future research include exploring the important features of social support and examining how safe disclosure contributes to overcoming shame. Potential implications for counselor education programs include introducing self-care initiatives, discussions about counselor wellness and ethical practice, and education on eating issues.
