Assessment Task 1: Written Video Analysis

Task description and direction:

This task requires you to analyse the communication demonstrated in the film ‘WIT' by Mike Nichols by responding to the following questions/directions:

Part 1: Select one of the following three questions to discuss

I want you to select Question 1: Effective Communication is essential....

1. Effective communication is essential for the establishment of a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship and the provision of safe, ethical and person-centred nursing care. Drawing upon the film and relevant literature and resources, discuss some examples of effective and ineffective communication (verbal and non-verbal) portrayed in the movie.

2. How are you feeling today? This phrase is often used as part of a general greeting in lay-discourse, but its perfunctory use in healthcare can often be disengaging and disempowering for our patients. Present a critique of how this phrase was used in the film, incorporating relevant literature and resources to justify your observations.

3. The icy-pole (popsicle) scene represents a turning point in the therapeutic relationship and communication between Vivian and Susie. Discuss what changed and how this demonstrated more effective communication, drawing upon relevant literature and resources to support and give depth to your observations.
