Field Experience: Interview Rationale: I chose to interview my grandfather about his experience being the primary care-taker for my grandmother since she had a stroke roughly two years and eight months ago. The reason why I chose to do this is because while I’ve talked to my grandmother about her experience many times, I have never spoken to my grandfather about what it is like to be in the position in which he is. I have had experience with stroke survivors before after I had volunteered with the speech therapy department at a rehabilitation facility in Harrisburg, PA, but I was interested to see what it is like for the people who take care of these individuals.

While she forgets and confuses dates and events, she can also become incoherent in a conversation and switches subjects rapidly. He indicated that he is concerned with her state as of late since she has not been having good days and bouncing back like she usually does.

While my grandfather has always been positive and kind, I could tell by some of his answers and his inflection how exhausted he is. By conducting this interview, I’ve come to the conclusion that when I get my driver’s license this summer, I am going to visit with my grandmother every week and take her out for a few hours to let my grandfather rest and do some things by himself. While I know that I can’t do much to help my grandmother cognitively to make it easier for her and my grandfather, I will ask my grandfather if I can pick up some things or run some

Interviewing families provides the nurse with information that can help the patient and their family manage chronic illness. By asking the family questions, the nurse can gain an increased understanding and appreciation of the illness impact on the family and the family’s concerns and hopefully help soften suffering and encourage hope and healing (Wright & Leahey, 2013). Following the conclusion of the interview, the nurse can assess the success of the interview and look for opportunities to improve the next family interaction.
