Abstract

The implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) in rehabilitation counseling has the potential to improve the effectiveness of vocational rehabilitation (VR) services and employment outcomes of people with disabilities. The purpose of this content analysis was to explore certified rehabilitation counselors’ (CRCs) perceptions of the effectiveness of EBP and their preparedness to implement EBP in a variety of rehabilitation counseling settings. Three hundred fourteen CRCs responded to two open-ended questions related to their perceived effectiveness and preparedness to use EBP in VR service delivery practices. Results of this content analysis indicate that CRCs generally recognize the value of EBP and support its use in rehabilitation counseling. However, they identified major individual-level and organizational-level barriers that could hinder the implementation of EBP in the professional practice of rehabilitation counseling. Strong administrative support, adequate funding, time, and continuous training to update skills will be needed to fully implement EBP in rehabilitation counseling.

注册康复顾问实施循证实践的感知准备：定性内容分析

在康复咨询中实施循证实践有可能提高残疾人职业康复服务的有效性和就业成果。本内容分析的目的是探讨认证康复顾问（CRC）对EBP有效性的看法，以及他们在各种康复咨询环境中实施EBP的准备情况。314名CRC回答了两个开放式问题，这两个问题涉及他们在VR服务提供实践中使用EBP的感知有效性和准备情况。该内容分析的结果表明，CRC普遍认识到EBP的价值，并支持其在康复咨询中的应用。然而，他们发现了可能阻碍EBP在康复咨询专业实践中实施的主要个人层面和组织层面的障碍。需要强有力的行政支持、充足的资金、时间和持续的培训来更新技能，才能在康复咨询中全面实施EBP。

期刊介绍： Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin (RCB) publishes articles on rehabilitation counseling with a major emphasis on data-based research reports, although other types of contributions to professional knowledge in rehabilitation counseling will be considered. Examples include articles that explain an innovative technique or application, point/ counterpoint debates on a current controversy challenging the profession, or insightful essays on an important issue. Contributions of these kinds may be considered for a special section of RCB. Article topics cover a wide range—from ethical dilemmas related to counseling clients with HIV/AIDS to clinical problem solving in micro–case management.
