The assignment is to include the
following information:
1.
Patient Information:
·
Summarize in 2-3 paragraphs pertinent data from
health history such as age, sex, social, occupational and cultural background,
marital status and role in family, physical appearance and health status.
2.

interaction.
4.
State the predetermined objective for the interaction.
5.

6.
The Process
Recording:
· Process Recording must reflect a 5-minute portion of
the conversation. The recording can be documented on the chart in the module
(see sample), or in a narrative form.
Be sure to include the following elements in the paper.
1.
Student’s verbal and non-verbal communication.
2.
Client’s verbal and non-verbal communication.
3.
Communication techniques used by the student.
4.
Feelings of the student nurse.
Process Recordings
are verbatim recordings (word for word) of verbal and nonverbal communication that
occurred between the nurse and the client. Communication techniques must be
identified as therapeutic or non-therapeutic with the name of the technique used.
For example, “Therapeutic: Reflection,”
or “Non-therapeutic: Giving False
Reassurance.” Since the purpose of
the assignment is to analyze communication skills, students are not penalized
for the use of non-therapeutic techniques. However, points will be deducted for
incorrect labeling of techniques.
7.
Analysis of the Process Recording:
Examine in detail (2-3 paragraphs)
the student nurse/client relationship and the effects of therapeutic and
non-therapeutic communication techniques. The analysis section should include
the following:
a.
Description of how the following factors
influenced the communication process: the client’s (and students, if
applicable) developmental level, gender, social and cultural background,
values, environment, physical and mental/emotional status.
b.
Discuss the impact of non-verbal
communication such as body language, eye contact, appearance, and gestures in
the conversation. Reflect on the moments of silence that occurred during the
conversation and describe your feelings and reactions in the silence.
c.
Reflect on your interviewing techniques.
Give examples of how your interview techniques facilitated or hindered
obtaining relevant and accurate data during the health history.
d.
Comment on the communication techniques
identified in the Process Recording. Did your use of therapeutic communication
techniques help meet the objective of the conversation? Would other techniques
have been more appropriate? How did the non-therapeutic communication
techniques influence the conversation? What would you say differently?
e.
Describe how your interpersonal skills
(trust, respect, empathy, etc.) influenced the development of a therapeutic
relationship with the client.
8. Conclusion: include a statement
regarding the learning experience and implications for further learning of therapeutic
communication skills.
