Abstract:
A model for inclusion of information about self-help groups into a PA training program is provided based on the results of a study of 26 PA students enrolled in a patient-counseling class. Interactions with self-help groups yield more positive beliefs and greater intentions to collaborate with self-help groups than training programs that do not address self-help groups. The experiential component is also useful for increasing understanding of appropriate roles for professionals interacting with self-help groups.
