Even though I didn’t have enough time to finish the interview, I was able to cover almost everything in HIP and medical history. As I reflect back on the interview session, I felt comfortable during the interview because the SP was very engaged in the conversation. However, I overlooked her expression about the bad phone call she got from her sister. At the time, I interpreted her sadness as being uncomfortable and moved on with the conversation without prying into her personal matter. Thus, my assumption had caused me to miss out the entire psychosocial context that leads the episode of her chest pain. To improve on this area, I should learn to put my personal interpretation and assumption aside and being more proactive in asking the patient to elaborate the story. In addition, I would make sure to …show more content…
I also notice that I tend to repeat after the patient answer to my question. Although doing so might help me keep the fact straight as well as letting the patient know that I was actively listening, I felt that it’s a little overkill as this might cause me to lose time for the interview. Thus, this could be the reason that I couldn’t finish my interview. As I summarized the information I got from the patient, I realized that I missed out some of the information and went a little fast toward the end after the announcement of two minutes left for the interview. I should have learned to put my distraction aside and focus on the interview to make sure I have the correct information from the patient. Regarding facilitation skills, I thought I did well in maintaining eye contact as well as having open posture during the interview. One thing that I thought I did particularly well on was when I praised the patient for cutting down on her tobacco

During my long-term care experience last Friday, I was exposed to many forms of communication.

I 've learned while conducting these interviews that both indivuials have similar issues within the healthcare system. one of the biggest issues both interviewees faces was the cost of healthcare and health insurance coverage. One of the interviewees has a chronic illness, and at times has to decide if she wants to purchase her needed medication or to buy groceries for herself and her family. The other interviewee although employed, doesn 't have health insurance coverage because its too costly every month. it seems they 're both appreciative of the fact there is a somewhat healthcare system with health care providers and professionals available to them, but feels its only available if you have health insurance coverage.

has been almost three decades since the release of Ordinary people and it still remains one of the most well-written movies not only from an entertaining but also from a psychological perspective.

Ordinary People is the story of an upper middle-class family living in Illinois dealing with the loss of their oldest son, Buck.
I think that perception checks are helpful to guide how the conversation will proceed, and this is why I decided to use this skill right at the beginning of the interaction. Following this, I asked the patient if it was acceptable for me to sit next to her and discuss the matter with her. This question, in addition to using the patients name in the beginning of the interaction helped to build trust. I think that without building this trust as a foundation, the conversation is bound to be unproductive. Throughout the conversation, I tried to ask clarifying questions when I was unsure of my interpretation of what was being said.
Introduction Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centred form of communication which focuses on the language of change. ‘It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion’ (Miller et al., 2013, p.29). The technique of motivational interviewing was developed by two psychologists, Bill Miller and Steve Rollnick. Motivational interviewing is therapeutic to patients as it is based on a partnership, rather than a nurse-patient relationship (Heckman et al., 2010). There are four processes of motivational interviewing; engaging, focusing, evoking and planning.
Not only do you need to focus on the wellbeing of your patient, but the patient

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.
Each patient represents a specific case who has different background, personality, preference and conditions. Thus, it is important for practitioner to learn from each patient and document it for future reference. Scene
