Moccasin Bend Reflection

685 Words3 Pages

There is one male acute patient whom I have become friends with during my visits at Moccasin Bend. In the beginning of my fieldwork, I was very uncomfortable talking to him as he has severe emotional regulation problems. He has flight of thought as he can begin speaking on one subject and quickly change the topic without me realizing it. Furthermore, he can go from laughing to crying in under thirty seconds depending on the topic. When I first started talking to him, I did not understand what I should do because at one moment we were laughing, and then he starts crying. I honestly tried to avoid him as I did not know how to speak to him. I did not want to trigger any bad memories or have him cause a scene because of me. I do have to say that I was slightly afraid of having a conversation with him. One day, I was talking to him, and he was trying to tell a joke to me. …show more content…

He is very sociable, and desires to talk to everybody rather they want him to or not. I am glad I helped him understand that if somebody does not want to talk to him or find him funny, it does not exactly mean that they did not like him. He seemed to need the assurance from an external source. W- I would have to say that my weakness is that I did not want to talk to him when I first met him. These were my own insecurities as I did not want to cause a disruption in him. I do think that I was slightly afraid of him thinking that he would hurt himself or cause a scene in which I would be blamed for upsetting him. O- This experience has allowed me to gain knowledge dealing with emotional dysfunction in clients. Before this, I had no idea how to handle a sensitive client. Now I know some methods to comfort them, and that I should not avoid having a breakdown entirely. This scenario has given me some insight people that feel emotion more intensely than average. I do not always have to feel that I am walking on

    I would have more patience and try to get to the root of the problem instead of dismissing it. I would try not to get frustrated so easily and have the empathy to care for this patient. Empathy is essential for person-centred care and nurses must have empathy in order to understand the situation from the patient’s perspective (Girffiths et al, 2012). If I responded with more empathy and less frustration I think the patient in turn would be less frustrated and although the problem may not be resolved, anxiety will be reduced and a trusting relationship will develop.

    This clinical experience has really helped me to sharpen my communication skills and realize just how important it is to understand mental health. We are told multiple times in class that mental health issues can be seen on any floor and that is the truth. I’ve seen patients in my older adult clinical on the pulmonary floor suffer from issues that range from anxiety to bipolar disorder and depression. Being able to understand how to approach people that suffer from these types of illnesses, allows us, the nurses, to give the patient the best care that we can. It helps to build a trusting relationship and get to know them on a personal level.

    Working with psych patients require myself to think more about my actions, how I say things, and how I come across to them. Patients can pick up the slightest discomfort and pick me apart. It is also important to remember to take what they say as a grain of salt. They may say offensive sayings directed towards myself or insult me, but it is something that I don’t let that get into my head and affect me. It is not necessarily the patient saying those thoughts, but the disease itself is what may be fueling the outburst.
