Posted 1/31/2025SLP and SLP Graduate Students Experiences with Burnout - Research Opportunity!

My name is Chantal Whiteduck and I am the Director of Clinical Education and Assistant Clinical Professor of Speech-Language Pathology at Moravian University. I am conducting a survey related to burnout along with graduate MS-SLP student, Alexa Van Doren.

The purpose of this study is to investigate licensed SLP and SLP graduate students’ experiences with burnout. Benefits to the field of speech-language pathology include gaining a better understanding of the current state of burnout among SLPs and SLP graduate students. This study will also provide awareness of burnout. A risk of participation might be feeling uncomfortable with the topic material.

If you are willing or know someone who may be willing, below is a link to a survey asking questions related to burnout. The estimated time to complete the study is 10-15 minutes. Participation in this survey is voluntary and all responses will be kept confidential. Thank you for your time. I look forward to receiving your responses to this survey!

Posted 11/14/2024Calling for speech-language pathologists to take part in a brief survey about digital EBP resources

We want to find out how SLPs search for research evidence online during their everyday clinical practice, and to understand their preferences for digital EBP resources

This is a worldwide survey of SLPs that has ethical  approval from the University of Sydney with approval number 2024/274.

The survey takes around 10 minutes. More information about the study and the link to the survey can be found here https://bit.ly/3PRXCeq

This survey is part of the PhD research being undertaken by Kate Smith at the University of Sydney, Australia, that aims to co-design a digital EBP resource based on the user-needs and requirements of practising clinicians.

The project is supervised by Professor Leanne Togher.

For any further information, please contact Kate Smith at kate.smith@sydney.edu.au
