Recommended: Family assessment part 2

For my family assessment, I decided to interview one of my sister’s friends. For privacy reasons, I will use her initials MW, her daughter’s initials MAM and the daughters father initials JM. The interview process was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Before beginning, I told the mother to relax and that I was going to ask her questions about her daughter as well as the whole family. I made sure to say that everything was confidential, which made her feel a little better about the whole thing. During the interview, I was sitting across from her at the kitchen table and her daughter was playing near us with some of her favorite toys. The mom did know most of the information I asked her. There was some stuff she had to think about or …show more content…

Throughout the interview, I did not just ask the questions straight from the paper, but instead I tried to talk to MW and get to know her as well as get the information I needed. After the interview, I felt relieved that it was completed, but also, I felt a sense of pride in what I did. I not only interviewed someone for a school project, but I also learned about someone and got to know them on a personal level. A few things I would change and would do differently about the interview process is probably try to listen more and write less. Also, try to memorize the questions instead of reading them. Lastly, this whole process allowed me to learn how easy it is to perform an interview as a nurse, but not necessarily drill the parent with questions one-by-one as if they are being …show more content…

One is Erikson and the other theorist is Piaget. For psychosocial development(Erikson), MAM would fall into the stage of Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt. This stage is when the child can separate parent from caregiver, imitates people, shows affection, happy when playmates are around, etc… During this time, the child wants to do things by himself/herself. As far as MAM goes, I believe she meets this developmental stage, she wants to be able to crawl vs. being picked up, she shows affection, imitates people, and from what her Mom told me she loves playing with a little girl at her brother’s baseball practice. The second theorist Piaget created stages based on cognitive development. Piaget believes that children 0-2 years old are in the stage called sensorimotor. During this stage, the child learns through trial and error. He/she also learns that even if an object cannot be seen, it is still there. Also, the child uses all their senses to explore the environment. As I observed the child in her own environment, I did notice that she used her senses to explore the environment. When she was crawling on the floor and see something, she would pick it up, look at it, and try to get it in her mouth before getting caught. You could also tell she was learning her environment by trial and error. When she stood up holding a chair and wanted to get down, she tried 2-3 times

Personal Narrative: An Interview With A Child With Apraxia

196 Words | 1 Pages

This interview was very personal for me. The boy who suffers from Apraxia is my eight year old nephew, so the person who I interviewed was my sister. It is very hard for her each year because as he continues to further his education, the more she has to email and have conferences with his teachers to make sure they understand exactly what is going on. When I have conversations with him and he gets into a story or gets excited, he starts to stutter. Apraxia is rare in schools and that is why my sister has to educate all of his teachers on his disability.

Family Assessment Model

907 Words | 4 Pages

Introduction I am a 24-year-old Female who is working in the Pediatric Surgical Unit as a Registered Nurse at Hospital Authority. In the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM), I learned about genogram and ecomap, which capture the structures and connections between and around the family (Rempel, Neufeld & Kushner, 2007). Also, the stages of the family life cycle (Carter & McGoldrick, 1988) sketched out how family members emotionally react and interact with the transition to roles and responsibilities. In the Calgary Family Intervention Model (CFIM), I noted the power of using interventive questions to unfold problems and promote behavioral transformation.

As I set up for the interview, we make small talk. From this I gather that overall she is satisfied with life, yet still frustrated with family troubles. Currently living in her daughters house, Aurea often butts heads with her son-in-law, since she is perpetually unimpressed with his standards of cleanliness. Nevertheless, she is also grateful for them as they took her in after things got shaky with her other daughter which she lived with.

The Similarities And Differences Between Freud And Piaget

802 Words | 4 Pages

Piaget developed a stage theory of intellectual development that included four distinct stages: the sensorimotor stage, from birth to age 2; the preoperational stage, from age 2 to about age 7; the concrete operational stage, from age 7 to 11; and the formal operational stage, which begins in adolescence and spans into adulthood. He believed that there were four necessary ingredients for cognitive development which included: “maturation of the nervous system, experiences gained through interaction with physical world, social environment, and child’s active participation in adapting to environment & constructing knowledge from experience.” (Sullivan, 2014, Slide 3) The sensorimotor stage occurs between birth and age 2. Infants and toddlers acquire knowledge through sensory experiences and handling objects.

Reflection On Family Assessment

792 Words | 4 Pages

After completing a family analysis and assessment with various models, I would like to reflect on how I can better utilize these tools in my future and gain a better understanding of family centered care. I will be using the Rolfe, Freshwater, & Jasper (2001) model to complete my reflection and weigh the pros and cons of assessing the family with the Calgary Family Assessment Model, the genogram, and the ecomap. I started making the genogram first, this was probably the most laborious part of the assignment. Getting used to the computer programming took the majority of the time. After the initial struggle to gain momentum, the project became much easier and the ecomap was created more naturally than the genogram.

I also like how the both of us came up with questions that were not pre made and that we genuinely wanted to help our family. We came in thinking and preparing for the family need additional services and once they did not present that we rolled with what we had. This role play felt real and made me feel more comfortable then the last one. The activity we gave the young boy was great but I do believe that we could have come up with better thought provoking questions for him to answer when he returned to the session. I think with more time we could have dig deeper to the root of the young boy issues.
