This survey was distributed to 94% of the counselors within the healthcare system in Region Skåne. The study showed that the licensed healthcare counselors were generally more positive about the introduction of licensure, while the non-licensed were more negative and hesitant. Previous studies that investigated this, were mainly qualitative and not in terms of the transitional rules that ceased to apply in 2024. (Less)
