Running head: ASSESSMENT TWOASSESSMENT TWOName of the student:Name of the university:Author note:
1ASSESSMENT TWOKey themes that came up in the journal:While reflecting in the journal, three important themes came up. The first importanttheme was teamwork. I had the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary team yesterday whilecaring for a patient of stroke in the rehabilitation center. It was entirely a new experience for me.The second theme is culturally competent care. I got the opportunity to provide service to anaboriginal woman who had suffered a fall due to her suffering from osteoarthritis. I failed toprovide him culturally competent care as I was not aware of their cultural aspects of verbal andnon-verbal communication. The third key theme was the time management. I realized that I amfailing miserably in managing time effectively and therefore either I am missing on to achievequality when trying to serve more patients or failing to attend to more patients when provingquality care to one patient.Reasons why they occurred:While working with the team in the rehabilitation ward, I noticed that there was powerstruggles not only among the experts like the speech therapists, physiotherapist and theoccupational therapist but also among the junior and senior nurses. These were resulting in longwaiting times of patients, medication error, wrong documentation, blame games and manyothers. Improper communication, absence of trust and effective relationship among memberswere mainly found by me to be the reasons. The next issue was cultural competence. I had toprovide healthcare interventions to an aboriginal patient with osteoarthritis. However, I did notknow that their culture do not like eye contacts. They also do not like direct questioning.Therefore, while providing care, I made mistakes of these kinds that made her upset. She left theplace without taking care. In case of time management, I am failing miserably. I cannot handle
2ASSESSMENT TWOwork and education at the same time and therefore, both of the domains are getting affected. As Iam not being able to manage time, it is affecting the quality of care as well as quality of theknowledge I am developing from education. Therefore, I am burning out.Important learning from the journaling:From the reflective journal, I had gathered knowledge about the important attributes thatare important for teamwork. I developed the knowledge that in order to provide better qualitycare to the patient, every members of the team should have effective communication with eachother’s. They should have trust and boding among themselves so that they can pan together forthe common goals and thereby work collaboratively towards each other (Kalisch et al. 2015).Power struggles have the capability to result in error prone services that may have threateningimpact on patient resulting him or her to stay for long days in hospitals or readmissions.Therefore overcoming ego and negative feelings, one should provide constructive feedback andconnect with each other mentally and emotionally to help patients develop better quality lives(Tofil et al. 2014). Culturally competent care is extremely important for making the patients feelthat their dignity and autonomy is respected and that the professionals’ cultural traditions,inhibitions and preferences are given importance (Yi et al. 2016). This makes the patient feelsthat their culture is provided importance ensuring that they would be receiving culturallysensitive care. These have positive outcomes on the mental and emotional health of the patients(Judge 2017). Effective time management is extremely important for not only maintaining ownschedules about management of profession and education effectively but at the same time it alsoenhances the efficiency for providing high quality and safe care (Bias et al. 2015). Effective timemanagement ensures that I can attend to a large number of patients but also provide them quality
3ASSESSMENT TWOservice. This would help the organization to meet its goals easily and thereby can help moreindividuals to live with better quality life (Cherry and Jacob 2016).The ways my reflection should be used:I have realized that I need to develop skills that would help me to participate in effective teamworking. For this, I need to develop my communication skills by which I can engage in bothformal and informal talk with others in the team and can thereby develop bonding with themembers. For these, I will be joining workshop classes where the mentors would be helping meto learn about proper attributes in teamwork and thereby develop communication skillseffectively (BSA et al. 2014). For culturally competent practices, I will go through differentinternet articles. They contain information about cultural traditions and preferences of ethnicclasses and religions. This would help me to develop cultural awareness and hence provideculturally competent care. For effective time management, I should go through recommendationsprovided by evidence-based articles and maintain Smart objectives. These would help me togradually develop the competency and become efficient in time management (Brown et al.2017).Important points that need to be shared with colleagues:In order to work effectively with team members, every members should be aware of theskills that they need to posses so that they can dedicate themselves entirely without gettingengaged in conflicts and power struggles. Therefore, I would advice them to undertake workshopclasses and those who cannot attend them, I can hand my important theoretical resources of theworkshop to them. This would help them to develop as proficient team members. I would alsogive them all the evidence-based articles that I have collected myself for cultural competence and
