In this study, we attempted to understand what other healthcare professionals considered mental health counselors’ (MHCs) tasks in their hospital setting to facilitate medical and mental health services and enhance patients’ well-being. Using an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design (concept mapping), we obtained 3 regions of MHCs’ tasks (i.e., Overarching Roles and Responsibilities of MHCs in the Hospital Setting, MHCs’ Specific Roles in the Hospital Setting, and MHCs’ Roles and Responsibilities as a Multidisciplinary Team Member) represented in 11 clusters. We discussed the results with implications for MHCs, healthcare professionals, counselor educators, and researchers, along with the current study's limitations.

医疗保健专业人员对医院环境中心理健康咨询师任务的看法调查

在这项研究中，我们试图了解其他医疗保健专业人员认为心理健康咨询师 (MHC) 在医院环境中的任务是什么，以促进医疗和心理健康服务并提高患者的福祉。使用探索性顺序混合方法设计（概念图），我们获得了 MHC 任务的 3 个区域（即 MHC 在医院环境中的总体角色和职责、MHC 在医院环境中的特定角色以及 MHC 的角色和职责作为多学科团队成员）代表 11 个集群。我们讨论了结果对 MHC、医疗保健专业人员、辅导教育工作者和研究人员的影响，以及当前研究的局限性。
