The process was trained via the eGAS app, designed to facilitate motivational interviewing and goal attainment scaling. The study utilized a single-case, nonconcurrent, multiple-baseline design replicated across three clinicians and their 27 respective clients. We observed client-clinician dyads engaged in setting rehabilitation goals pre and post eGAS training. The clients had neurogenic conditions and were being treated for cognitive, communication and/or swallowing challenges in an outpatient setting. Two measures were used to collect data on the clinician's interviewing and goal-setting behaviors: (1) Assessment of Client-Centeredness when Interviewing and Goal Setting (ACIG) scale, and (2) a task analysis, i.e., the Clinician Interview Behavior scale (CIB). Training with eGAS had a strong effect on clinicians' collaborative interviewing behaviors, an inconsistent effect on their ability to adhere to a three-phase interview structure, and a strong effect on their ability to generate valid goal attainment scales. This study provides preliminary support that the eGAS process provides a feasible framework for training hospital-based SLPs engaged in neurorehabilitation to use collaborative interviewing behaviors and produce valid person-centered rehabilitation goals.Neuropsychological rehabilitationA single-case experimental design investigation of collaborative goal setting practices in hospital-based speech-language pathologists when provided supports to use motivational interviewing and goal attainment scaling.PMC8096858R03 HD091453R03 HD091453-02DeGarmo DSeeley JMachalicek WKucheria PMoore Sohlberg MfalseA single-case experimental design investigation of collaborative goal setting practices in hospital-based speech-language pathologists when provided supports to use motivational interviewing and goal attainment scaling.The study investigated the impact of the electronic Goal Attainment Scaling (eGAS) process on medical speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) interviewing and goal setting.
