A research report presented to the Department of Speech Pathology and
Audiology, Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in
partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in Speech-
Language Pathology by Coursework / Health care professionals are expected to apply ethical principles such as nonmaleficence,
beneficence, autonomy and justice in their teaching of students
and treatment of clients. Speech Pathologists and Audiologists (SPAs) in
South Africa are responsible not only for educating members of their
profession, but are often also involved in the training of Community
Rehabilitation Workers (CRWs). Hence the aim of the present study was to
explore the experiences, opinions and attitudes of a group of SPAs and CRW
co-ordinators with particular reference to ethical issues related to CRW
training. In order to investigate this aim. an interview schedule followed by a
questionnaire were administered to SPA and CRW co-ordinators who had
been involved in CRW training at The Wits/Tinstwalo CRW Training
Programme in Gazankulu and at The Institute Of Urban Primary Health Care
in Alexandra Township. Data elicited from the interview were analysed using
content analysis and responses categorized according to respondents'
background in ethics and knowledge regarding ethical principles. Results are
discussed in terms of their implications for SPA and CRW co-ordinators. / Andrew Chakane 2018
