Development of Fear of Fieldwork Counselling Practicum Scale

Charles Ngozi Ugwuegbulam, Ngozi Damasius Duru, Naheed Ibrahim, Vera Nwadinobi

Abstract


This scale was borne out of observed and expressed needs of trainee counsellors concerning their being sent out for fieldwork counselling practicum exercise. The exercise induces fears into the trainee counsellors. The fear hinges on how they think they would perform at the end of the exercise. These fears cause them loss of weight. The fear stretches from getting a practicum site, obtaining clients for counselling, applying counselling skills correctly, appropriate use of psychological assessment tools, writing reports to submission of the total counselling report. The scale investigates these areas.
