Integrating Lived Experience in Preprofessional Training in Speech Pathology and Audiology.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIncorporating persons with lived experience (PWLE) has proven effective in supporting preprofessionals in their training by providing authentic insights that foster empathy, compassion and critical thinking. However, limited research exists on its integration into audiology and speech-language pathology courses. This project aimed to determine the benefits of incorporating lived experience engagements into preprofessional audiology and speech-language pathology training.
methodPreprofessional students enrolled for a course in adult auditory (re)habilitation and engaged with PWLE during scheduled class sessions. Six PWLE from different countries, each with unique hearing experiences and various hearing technologies, interacted with the students. Students reflected on their experiences using Gibbs' Reflective Cycle; their reports were retrospectively analysed using inductive content analysis.
resultsSixty-four preprofessionals across three universities consented to have their reflections analysed. The value of the engagement resulted in three overarching categories: student experience, patient reported experience and professional practice. Subcategories contributing to the student experience included emotions, perceptions and career goals, with the patient experience category including lack of care, passive listening, setting and significant others. The professional practice category included active listening, trust and care decisions.
conclusionIncorporating opportunities for PWLE to share their hearing healthcare journey allows preprofessional students the opportunity to be reflective on aspects such as communication, person-centred care and empathy. Students can utilise these experiences to identify practical tips for enhancing their own clinical skills and highlight core values for their future roles.
