Process recordings

Hey, I am in my third week of nursing school and I am already stumped. We had to do a process recording and I didn't do too well on it. Can somebody give me a website, a book, something to help me to understand what exactly I need to do on these things. The professor wrote notes on it, but i cannot read her handwriting. thanks to all for any help! Christy :o

have you tried searching for examples of therapeutic communication on the net? I HATE process recordings. We do one each qtr and then for psych we did 4!!!

what is a process recording. Not something we do at my school.

A process recording is an account of a conversation with a client using therapeutic communication skills. In it, you have to write out what you hope to accomplish in your encounter and a play by play of what was said in your conversation. You then take everything you and the client did and said and analyse it to see if you met your objectives and what you need to do to improve. This is in a nutshell.

THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR HELP!! I was just really bummed out because this counts as one of our pass/fail skills in lab. Now, I have two more tries to get it right. :)

Have you taken your psyche portion yet? If you didn't do process recording 1st semester, then you should definately do it by then.

One of the first things I would do would be to talk to the instructor. Believe it or not, they are there to see you succeed... we're the one's who will be replacing them and becomming their collegues. Noone knows what they want more from you than them. If you can't read the handwriting, you really should talk to her. Maybe it's something simple you need to fix, and because you don't know what her comments were, you're blowing it up. I would set up an appointment with her to go over your paper, and I'm sure she'll help you out.

Yes I took Psych and yes we did this skill. We just called it a therapeutic communications assesment. They are very time consuming and a pain in the butt. Writing out a complete conversation and then analyzing it is not easy. If I remember correctly mine turned into mostly a work of fiction just to do it corectly.

I'm doing one (well, supposed to be doing one) right now! AGGGHHH!:uhoh21:

We had to do process recordings of 30 minute therapeutic communication with patients in my BSN program. They were required in every single nursing clinical course. I must say, however, that it was stressed that they were to be very academic. We were to put down each thing the patient said and each of our responses. Then, we were attach a name to the type of response we gave and whether it was the best response we could have made. The last column was to give the best correct response (if our actual response had been non-therapeutic) with a reference to the page of an article or textbook supporting it. The conversation had to be regarding the patient's concern of their health and not just shooting the breeze about the weather. In order to recall everything I carried a small tape recorder in my pocket that recorded beautifully. If you do that, however, you need to make sure you get the patient's permission to tape them as well as tell them why you're making the tape in the first place. I suppose the easiest example would be to process a conversation with a patient where you are imparting some teaching with them. The hardest ones are when you are talking with a patient about their feelings and emotions.

We were also given instructions in the classroom with a practice session on how to do this whole thing of process recordings before we even did one with a patient. There is some preliminary information about therapeutic communication that has to be learned first so you know what you're supposed to be analyzing.

If I remember correctly mine turned into mostly a work of fiction just to do it corectly.

:yeahthat:

I'm supposed to be doing one right now! Came here for some insight. I did have to do one last semester & did OK but the expectations of this semester are quite different! We have to do 2 this semester, and then 4 in 3rd & 4th...ugggghhh

Not a fan of this process recording stuff AT ALL.

Anyone have any advice, resources to share?

THANKS
