Recommended: Why is trust important to me

In this chapter, so far I have learned the different skills for engagement while working with a client. Engagement is very important to have while meeting with a client, and it is the first step in the planned change process. This step of the process helps establish a relationship between the professional and the client. Engagement is also known as “intake”. Intake conversation is either done over the phone or in person. To demonstrate engagement with your client you must be willing to greet the client in an encouraging way and show interest of your client’s situation. When you first meet with your client, you are able to build a relationship, which starts with greeting. Initiating a handshake and introducing yourself can be done to greet

  • Motivational Interview Analysis

    I tried to have an open posture and to maintain eye contact as these approaches show the client that you are listening and are engaged in the conversation. I implemented silence listening and gave the client the time needed to respond. In the feedback, Jenessa mentioned that I seemed genuinely interested in what she was saying and that she appreciated having the time to elaborate on a question. Looking back at the video, I feel as if my body posture could have been better. Since we were sitting on a couch, it was hard to have that direct contact position. Also, I found that holding the clipboard was hindering my involvement as I kept glancing down at it. Moreover, I was using empathetic statement in the interview, such as "to clarify..." and "that must be difficult for you". Not only did this allow the client to add any more information if they pleased, but it also gave her comfort. In the interview, Jenessa mentioned that she was afraid of relapsing and that her hard work would be for nothing. In response, I validated her concerns by saying that they were

    Service user involvement and participation has become a standard principle in guiding social care planning in order to improve in the developing and delivery of service to meet diverse and complex needs in a more effective way. Key pieces of legislation states plainly that service users through a partnership approach should be enabled to have voice on how the services they are using should be delivered (Letchfield, 2009). The Scottish Executive (2006a:32) helpfully state ‘Increasing personalisation of services is both an unavoidable and desirable direction of travel for social work services. Unavoidable in the sense that both the population and policy expect it; desirable in the extent to which it builds upon the capacity of individuals to find their own solutions and to self-care, rather than creating dependence on services’

    The first set comprises four “initiating” strategies for influencing positive client engagement: displaying an engaging personality, identifying with clients, developing mutual interests, and practicing reciprocity. Displaying an engaging friendly personality – a prerequisite for building relationships (Cialdini, 2001; Gilley, 2006) – creates initial positive perceptions and helps establish personal rapport. Identifying with clients on their level (Gilley, 2006) by altering personal communication style, language, dress, and behaviors to match with their cultural norms, reinforces perceptions of the author’s willingness to ackn...

    The one skill that I used more of was empathy; I wanted the client to know that I understood her situation as well her feelings. At the end of our conversation, I summarized everything that we talked about, especially her want to open up to her parents and express herself to them. She mentioned that she wants them to fell empathy towards her, because the lack of parental empathy that she felt when she was younger, has even affected her in her adult life (Kilpatrick,2005).

  • Effective Communication In Nursing

    1114 Words  | 3 Pages

    Communication is continuously disregarded and overlooked, however the skill to communicate efficiently is mandatory to articulating concepts, feelings and diffusing ideas. Stated by Stacey Huish (2013) “Communication is the process of transferring information from a sender to a receiver with the use of a medium in which the communicated information is understood by both the sender and receiver”. Effective communication particularly in a nursing context, is substantial as all nurses are anticipated to develop a sense of agency and use their interaction with patients to support and provide assistance effectively. Upon analyzing two distinct scenarios based on a nurse’s communication towards a patient, it can be made apparent the effective and non-effective practices in communication, as well as the effective or ineffective techniques to client interaction, impact the competence of one’s communication which either provides poor or adequate communication. The foremost concepts of communication evident in each scenario is body language, eye contact and lack of communication. Body language, eye contact and a lack of communication are predominant factors that distinguish one’s capability to interact competently or incompetently with a patient in numerous circumstances.

  • Reflection On Social Work Interview

    I was able to talk to my client without being visibly nervous. I am proud to say I handled my client’s problems as they came up without fear that I may say the wrong thing. In the first video, I found myself repeating things, for what reason I do not know. I can say my nonverbal skills need improving. One specific aspect of the interview was my hand gestures and motions. I really got involved with my client’s problems, and the way I tried to help her understand what I was saying and to get an understanding what she was saying, so I used my hands. I tried to keep by body in a position that would let the client know that I was using attentive listening skills. I cared about why she came to the facility for help. Each session, I adjusted my seat to make eye contact so my client could like she could trust me with her information and that I cared enough to listen to her

    In order to promote patient adherence, helps to overcome challenges in management as well as improve the illness prognosis and patient satisfaction, a good quality of doctor-patient relationship is suggested to be the primary mediator. Martin et al (2003) emphasize the importance of doctor’s behaviour to welcome patient involvement in the medical discourse. It is noticed that patients tend to choose doctor who helps them to get involved in consultation, answer their question, interact and communicate well rather than doctor who let the patient to control over the conversation and at the same time pay less attention to the patient. In other study conducted by Graffigna et al (2014) introduces a conceptual framework to establish the phases of patient engagement development that incorporates emotional, physical and mental elements of the individual patient.

  • The Importance Of Engagement In Social Work

    775 Words  | 2 Pages

    Reflective listening gives the client a sense of importance due to them currently having the floor and a moment to express themselves. Reflective listening is orchestrated through acts of showing empathy towards understanding the perspective of one’s feelings. Through this method, the listener does not offer their opinion or perspective while the client speaks. Adding eye contact can also be beneficial or uncomfortable due to client’s background. For example, one’s culture can believe that is it disrespectful not to make eye contact while another may not participate in that activity. During completing the initial assessment with Gwinda, the social work intern participated by allowing her to discuss the need for services. Gwinda further discussed how she is unsure of how the treatments will go and expressed how fearful she was to undergo these different changes. With uncertainty lingering, the social work intern sat next to Gwinda’s bedside ensuring during that moment the client had a listening
