TASK:
INFORMATION
Health professionals need to have a socio-theoretical understanding of the effects of illness on the person hood and families of the sick and suffering.
With the knowledge acquired from the online discussion, expand upon any insights you have gained through studying the written (readings) and audio-visual (the movie you watched) materials in this unit and through newly acquired evidence-based literature.
Examine the experience of illness from the patient perspective and write an academic essay. Suggested topics for discussion include (but are not limited to): • Hospitalisation and sense of self; . Link between illness and the mind; . Emotional changes with chronic illness; • Self-identity (and the loss of) in illness; • Contemporary attitudes to illness and disability; . Re-evaluation of life in illness (or spiritual journey); . Exploring nurse-patient communication behaviours; • Provision of patient-centred care to the acutely ill in the hospital context; • Patient explanations and understandings of illness.
During your discussion you should argue a perspective and think critically about your own clinical practice. This essay should be written in third person format only (Please see the guide in the ‘Assessment and Resources’ page if you are unsure of how to write in the third person). You should include a minimum of 18-20 recent references.
Please note: You do NOT need to pick a theme from one of the movies. It can be any type of patient/nursing specialty (cardiac, respiratory, neuro, gen med, surgical), but you need to relate it to a relevant aspect of the unit content (as per some of the examples above).
Please read the marking criteria carefully. COMPLETING THE TASK Go over the School of Health Sciences Assignment Guidelines for submission. Ensure you are using:
