Self-awareness is the first step in developing empathy for others. Through reflection, nursing students become more self-aware, are able to acknowledge their own attitudes and better understand how their life experiences, beliefs and biases affect the people they care for.
Self-awareness is the first step in developing empathy for others. Through reflection, nursing students become more self-aware, are able to acknowledge their own attitudes and better understand how their life experiences, beliefs and biases affect the people they care for.
For this assessment, you will:
1. Attend a one hour disability simulation and debrief.
Basically it?s a two person sim one student being the nurse(myself) and the other is a stroke patient. I was given a patient through handover that I will be caring a patient with right sided paralysis/weakness with sling attached to right arm and a leg frame on his right leg.. so basically I was instructed to put on clothes to the patient and have him for a walk around the campus and leave him in sitting down in one spot to observe for him 5min in a distance and observe what will happen if anyone will help him to stand up? he was instructed to act as if he?s struggling to catch the attention to other people? some of them passed him by and just looked at him but a minute later a young woman noticed him and quickly offer help.. so basically the simulation is all about SELf-AWARENESS and EMPAHTY.. and we quickly returned to the room after that? this were the notes I got during the debriefing..
