Analisis situasi. Kelurahan Tugu, Kecamatan Cimanggis, Depok mempunyai banyak warga lanjut usia yang berisiko patah tulang. Terdapat kegiatan pos pembinaan terpadu (Posbindu) namun tidak mempunyai program pencegahan osteoporosis.  Permasalahan. Belum adanya kegiatan pencegahan osteoporosis bagi warga desa lanjut usia. Solusi. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat berupa skrining osteoporosis dengan melibatkan Pos Pembinaan Terpadu menggunakan alat ultrasonografi kalkaneus. Kesimpulan. Pencegahan osteoporosis wanita lansia di desa berhasil dilakukan melalui skrining tulang menggunakan alat ultrasonografi kalkaneus berkolaborasi dengan Posbindu setempat. Kata Kunci: pengabdian masyarakat, osteoporosis, patah tulang, usia lanjut, ultrasonografi kalkaneus     Abstract Background. Osteoporotic fractures in the elderly cause many complications and become an economic burden. The government has implemented prevention and treatment strategies but has not implemented osteoporosis screening strategies. If this is not done, the burden will become heavier in the future. Screening can be performed using a calcaneus ultrasound bone densitometry. This device is lightweight, portable, safe, comfortable, and accurate for bone screening. This tool is an alternative early diagnosis of osteoporosis as a strategy to prevent osteoporosis fractures in the elderly, especially for rural residents. Screening activities will have maximum results when using a collaborative approach involving various stakeholders. Situation analysis. Tugu Village, Cimanggis District, Depok has many elderly populations who are at risk of fractures. This village has an Integrated Healthcare Center (Posbindu), but it has no osteoporosis prevention program. Problem. There are no osteoporosis prevention activities for elderly villagers. Solution. Community service activities in the form of an osteoporosis screening program involving the Integrated Guidance Post using a calcaneus ultrasound. densitometry Conclusion. The prevention of osteoporosis fracture in elderly villagers has been successfully carried out through bone screening using a calcaneus ultrasound bone densitometry in collaboration with the local Posbindu.

Training And Supervision

Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide clinical supervisors with information pertaining to state-of-the-art clinic observation technology. We use a novel video-capture technology, the Landro Play Analyzer, to supervise clinical sessions as well as to train students to improve their clinical skills. We can observe four clinical sessions simultaneously from a central observation center. In addition, speech samples can be analyzed in real-time; saved on a CD, DVD, or flash/jump drive; viewed in slow motion; paused; and analyzed with Microsoft Excel. Procedures for applying the technology for clinical training and supervision will be discussed.

Purpose To effectively prepare students to engage in interprofessional practice, a number of Communication Disorders (COMD) programs are designing new courses and creating additional opportunities to develop the interprofessional competencies that will support future student success in health and education-related fields. The ECHO (Educational Community Health Outreach) program is one example of how the Rongxiang Xu College of Health and Human Services at California State University, Los Angeles, has begun to create these opportunities. The ultimate goal of the ECHO project is to increase both access to and continuity of oral health care across communities in the greater Los Angeles area. Method We describe this innovative interdisciplinary training program within the context of current interprofessional education models. First, we describe the program and its development. Second, we describe how COMD students benefit from the training program. Third, we examine how students from other disciplines experience benefits related to interprofessional education and COMD. Fourth, we provide reflections and insights from COMD faculty who participated in the project. Conclusions The ECHO program has great potential for continuing to build innovative clinical training opportunities for students with the inclusion of Child and Family Studies, Public Health, Nursing, and Nutrition departments. These partnerships push beyond the norm of disciplines often used in collaborative efforts in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Additionally, the training students received with ECHO incorporates not only interprofessional education but also relevant and important aspects of diversity and inclusion, as well as strengths-based practices.

Purpose The purposes of this study were to examine the self-efficacy of school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in conducting multidimensional treatment with children who stutter (CWS) and to identify correlates of self-efficacy in treating speech-related, social, emotional, and cognitive domains of stuttering. Method Three hundred twenty randomly selected school-based SLPs across the United States responded to an online survey that contained self-efficacy scales related to speech, social, emotional, and cognitive components of stuttering. These ratings were analyzed in relation to participants' beliefs about stuttering treatment and their comfort level in treating CWS, perceived success in therapy, and empathy levels, in addition to their academic and clinical training in fluency disorders as well as demographic information. Results Overall, SLPs reported moderate levels of self-efficacy on each self-efficacy scale and on a measure of total self-efficacy. Significant positive associations were observed between SLPs' self-efficacy perceptions and their comfort level in treating CWS, self-reported success in treatment, beliefs about the importance of multidimensional treatment, and self-reported empathy. There were some discrepancies between what SLPs believed was important to address in stuttering therapy and how they measured success in therapy. Conclusions Among school-based SLPs, self-efficacy for treating school-age CWS with a multidimensional approach appears stronger than previously reported; however, more progress in training and experience is needed for SLPs to feel highly self-efficacious in these areas. Continuing to improve clinician self-efficacy for stuttering treatment through improved academic training and increased clinical experiences should remain a high priority in order to enhance outcomes for CWS.

Intervention Process

Abstract Clinical supervisors in university based clinical settings are challenged by numerous tasks to promote the development of self-analysis and problem-solving skills of the clinical student (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, ASHA, 1985). The Clinician Directed Hierarchy is a clinical training tool that assists the clinical teaching process by directing the student clinician’s focus to a specific level of intervention. At each of five levels of intervention, the clinician develops an understanding of the client’s speech/language target behaviors and matches clinical support accordingly. Additionally, principles and activities of generalization are highlighted for each intervention level. Preliminary findings suggest this is a useful training tool for university clinical settings. An essential goal of effective clinical supervision is the provision of support and guidance in the student clinician’s development of independent clinical skills (Larson, 2007). The student clinician is challenged with identifying client behaviors in the therapeutic process and learning to match his or her instructions, models, prompts, reinforcement, and use of stimuli appropriately according to the client’s needs. In addition, the student clinician must be aware of techniques in the intervention process that will promote generalization of new communication behaviors. Throughout the intervention process, clinicians are charged with identifying appropriate target behaviors, quantifying the progress of the client’s acquisition of the targets, and making adjustments within and between sessions as necessary. Central to the development of clinical skills is the feedback provided by the clinical supervisor (Brasseur, 1989; Moss, 2007). Particularly in the early stages of clinical skills development, the supervisor is challenged with addressing numerous aspects of clinical performance and awareness, while ensuring the client’s welfare (Moss). To address the management of clinician and client behaviors while developing an understanding of the clinical intervention process, the University of the Pacific has developed and begun to implement the Clinician Directed Hierarchy.
