Unit 1
P5, P6, M3, D2
I am on placement in an eye hospital and I carried out one to one communication with a patient, it was whiteness by my placement supervisor. I used argyles communication theory to help me to successfully achieve affective communication. This one to one took place on the 20th of November 2012.
In stage one I started deciding that I was going to carry out a one to one with a patient. I decided to talk to them and begun to think about what I was going to ask the patient. In the second stage I decided that I was going to use verbal communication and then decided what I was going to ask them. I chose to say ‘are you going back to clinic?’Thirdly, I started to send my verbal message across to the patient and ask them ‘are you going back to clinic?’ Fourthly, this is when the patient had received and heard the message. Stage five was when the patient interprets the question and realises what they had been asked and begins to processes an answer. Lastly the patient then shown some reaction, she smiled and nodded and then replied with ‘yes’.
I think that this communication was effective because the patient and were in a private room which was quiet and also there were no interruptionsor background noise to disturb us so the environment we where in was appropriate this was a strength that helped achieve successful one to one communication. However the patient was over sixty five therefore her hearing was not as precise and I had to speak louder than usual so it was possible for her to hear me. This miner hearing impairment could have been a barrier to communication although I overcome this barrier by speaking louder to the elderly lady.
My weaknesses that I identified during my one to one are, I was concentrating on taking a scan of the patient’s retina, back of the eye, therefore when it was time for me to ask the question I did forget that I had to ask the patient so it was a little rushed when I did ask. I can improve this by asking the
