- Interview 1 reflections - Eric (Jin Hyung) Park
- Identify all your questions. Add a note about whether they were open, closed or leading.
- "This is for your child, right?" - leading question, but only seeking to confirm that prescription was a paediatric one, without any depth to the response needed.
- "Do you have Vasoline or any other kind of lubricant at home?" - closed question, again, just confirming whether the household had any lubricant or not.
- "Do you have any other questions about (this medicine)?" - Leading question, requesting further detailed information while seeking to identify any gaps in the patient's knowledge of the medicine.
- If any questions could be better worded, add your suggesting new wording.
- Do you have any other questions → Is there anything else you'd like to know - Less aggressive wording which possibly might get more information out of the patient if there was any I needed.
- Did you see any occasions where it seemed the patient wanted to say something, but you kept talking?
- None observable - the patient was quite calm, not fidgeting, didn't appear to be unsettled or wishing to ask any other questions until prompted.
- Annotate any occasions where you reflected or paraphrased something the patient said?
- None apparent.
- Identify any instances where you empathised (or attempted to empathise) with the patients situation.
- Attempted to make a joke about having to use a suppository and the associated difficulties of having a child stay still for the uncomfortable administration of a suppository.
- Did you use any jargon? Identify technical terms and re-word.
- Only identifiable use of jargon was 'suppository' and 'paracetamol', both of which were the type of medication and the medicine name respectively - possibly could have explained that paracetamol was the medicine being prescribed in question, but there was no real way to reword it.
- What emotions do you think the patient was feeling? How did you respond to these?
- Patient seemed very calm and willing to listen - responded by (attempting to) give as clear and concise information as possible regarding the medicine.
- What concerns did the patient present in the interview? How well did you respond to these?
- Concerns of how many times the medicine should be given a day - responded by stating the instructions on the medicine box and prescription, following up by giving a time period interval the medicine should be given as per recommended guidelines.
- How was the advice you gave the patient? Did you give an appropriate amount of information, and how did you emphasise any more important points?
- Advice given to the patient was fairly standard in the explanation of how to use a suppository, but can be said to be the absolute minimum information required for safe use. Emphasised the necessity to insert relatively deeply, including pointing out how deeply the suppository should be inserted using a relative position/length of human anatomy, complete with gestures.
- (How) did you find out what the patient’s existing knowledge was?
- Asked at the end if patient had any other questions regarding the medicine.
