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

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.

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.

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.

I was able to create better therapeutic communication skills, pick up on the patient’s ticks, learn how to assess for triggers, etc. I will use this in the future because I will come in contact with patients who suffer from a mental illness on any floor I work on. They may not as serious as some of the patients I worked with on this clinical rotation, however, it is still important, as a nurse, to recognize and address mental health issues with patients. I also learned just how important self-care for nurses is. It doesn’t take long for nurses to begin to feel burnt out and lose passion in what they do.
