Kriz Danışmanlığı Dersinin Psikolojik Danışma Öz-yeterliği ve Krize Müdahaleye Hazırlık Düzeyine Etkisi

The aim of this causal comparative study was to compare the levels of counselling self-efficacy and perceived readiness for crisis intervention between counselling students who took a course in crisis counselling during their undergraduate education and those who did not. The data were collected from 142 senior students in counselling departments of two state universities in Türkiye, through purposive sampling. The Counselling Self-efficacy Scale and Readiness for Crisis Intervention Scale were used to collect the data. According to the results, a significant difference in self-efficacy in handling challenging counselling situations was found between the students who took a course in crisis counselling and those who did not. Furthermore, a significant difference was found in the perceived readiness levels for providing services at school for those who took a course in crisis counselling. These findings are discussed in relation with the current counselling education literature.
