Task
|
You are required to conduct a 30 minute phone or video call interview with a person in your community who has experience with having a chronic illness or disability to discover the impact this has had on their life and the life of their family, and to identify care priorities/areas of need. Present your paper based on the Roper, Logan & Tierney (2008) model for nursing as a framework and use the first 5 stages of Levett-Jones (2018) Clinical Reasoning Cycle to identify care priorities. It is expected that appropriate evidence-based literature will be used to support the essay. You will need to gain written consent from your interviewee PRIOR to conducting your interview and upload this evidence to LEO
and inform your interviewee they may be called at random by the LIC to confirm consent.

Instructions for students
- You will need to prepare for your interview. McGrath, Palmgren & Liljedahl (2019) suggest twelve steps for conducting research interviews, and this article is linked on the NRSG372 reading list for Module one.
- There must be evidence that you have interviewed (via phone or video call) a real person in your community.
- If there is evidence that students have not conducted an interview an NN grade for the assessment will be awarded.
- This is an academic essay and as such, 3rd person writing is required. The student nurse may use the abbreviation SN when referring to themselves, if needed.
- Academic references must be used to support the discussion. Avoid using consumer resources. The use of consumer resources significantly impacts on the quality of support for the discussion, and significantly reduces the ability to score marks for content sections requiring literature support.
- A.P.A. 6th ed. styling for all in-text references and reference list. Library resources on referencing are available here: https://www.studentportal.acu.edu.au/acuinfo/services-and- support/academic-skills-unit/academic-referencing-skills
Student and interviewee safety
- Confidentiality must be maintained. You must de-identify your interviewee in your paper, by use of a pseudonym, and state this in your paper.
- This assessment does not encourage you to diagnose conditions or suggest treatments for your interviewee
- Students are not to approach strangers for interviews, or to put themselves into situations of risk.
- Please be aware of the impact of conducting an interview on your interviewee. Should your interviewee become upset, please finish the interview at that point, and contact the LIC for further advice.
