NRSG372 Chronic Illness and Disability - Australian Catholic University

Assessment

This assessment will provide students with an opportunity to engage with a health consumer, to gain insight into the impact chronic illness and/or disability has on the consumers life, and to plan person-centered care in partnership with a consumer. Students will have the opportunity to apply specific frameworks to demonstrate critical thinking, clinical reasoning and the principles of caring for people with a chronic illness or disability. Written consent from your interviewee to conduct your interview is required.

You are required to conduct a phone or video call interview with a real person in your community who has a chronic illness or disability to discover the impact this has on their life. You will need to prepare for your interview. McGrath, Palmgren & Liljedahl (2019) suggest twelve steps for conducting research interviews; this article is linked on the NRSG372 reading list for Module one.

Identify two (2) care priorities for your interviewee. Present each priority using the Levett-Jones (2018) Clinical Reasoning Cycle, completing the cycle for each priority as outlined in the paragraph structure section of this document. For each priority, identify and rationalise where the person sits on the Roper-Logan- Tierney (RLT) model of nursing independence to dependence continuum. It is expected that appropriate evidence-based literature will be used to support your
assignment.

Task:
You will need to gain written consent from your interviewee PRIOR to conducting your interview and inform your interviewee they may be called at random by the LIC to confirm consent. There must be evidence that you have interviewed (via phone or video call) a real person in your community, demonstrated by the consent form and unique circumstances outlined in your essay. If there is evidence that students have not conducted a genuine interview an NN grade for
the assessment will be awarded.

Introduction: Introduce the interviewee with a pseudonym (and clearly state it is a pseudonym), their health status and condition(s), introduce your two care priorities, outline the frameworks used, finishing with goals associated with each care priority with a focus on patient centred care. (max 10% of word count).

Para 1: What is your first priority? What information have you used to arrive at this? Where on the RLT dependence/independence continuum (by way of equipment, treatments, or interventions) Be specific and explain the priority in depth here.

Para 2: What will the consequences be if you do not address this as your priority? This is where you need to justify this being your priority- use evidence to support.

Para 3: What is your goal as the nurse in relation to the identified care priority? And what will your intervention be? You will need to substantiate this with evidence and a rationale and bring in the NSQHS partnering with consumers standard.

Para 4: What is your second priority? What information have you used to arrive at this? Where on the RLT dependence/independence continuum (by way of equipment, treatments, or interventions) Be specific and explain the priority in depth here.

Para 5: What will the consequences be if you do not address this as your priority? This is where you need to justify this being your priority- use evidence to support.

Para 6: What is your goal as the nurse in relation to the identified care priority? And what will your intervention be? You will need to substantiate this with evidence and a rationale and bring in the NSQHS partnering with consumers standard.

Conclusion: What have you done throughout the paper? What are the next steps? Evaluation of the interventions will demonstrate what? (max 10% of word count).
