Development of the Device-Oriented Subjective Outcome (DOSO) scale.

Journal of the American Academy of Audiology·2014

Area of Science:

  • Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology
  • Health Sciences
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for maintaining current knowledge and state-of-the-art treatment recommendations in healthcare.
  • EBP principles are emerging in communication disorders but are not yet widely adopted.
  • Traditional practice models contrast with the systematic approach of EBP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the rationale for adopting EBP in communication disorders.
  • To highlight the differences between EBP and traditional practices.
  • To describe the five-step EBP process and its application to hearing rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • The article outlines the five-step EBP process: problem definition, evidence searching, critical appraisal, recommendation formulation, and outcome assessment.

  • Critical appraisal is explored, focusing on validity, clinical significance, and applicability of evidence.
  • Specific emphasis is placed on applying EBP to hearing rehabilitation.

    • Main Results:

    • The rationale and benefits of EBP are presented.
    • The five-step EBP process is detailed.
    • Critical appraisal components (validity, clinical significance, applicability) are explained.

    Conclusions:

    • EBP provides a framework for evidence-based decision-making in communication disorders.
    • The systematic approach of EBP enhances the quality of care, particularly in hearing rehabilitation.
    • Suggestions are provided to facilitate the transition to EBP in amplification provision.
