Week 4 Assignment
This assignment requires you to interview one person and
requires an analysis of your interview experience.
Part I: Interview
Select a patient, a family member, or a friend to interview.
Be sure to focus on the interviewee’s experience as a patient, regardless of
whom you choose to interview.
Review The Joint Commission resource found in topic
materials, which provides some guidelines for creating spiritual assessment
tools for evaluating the spiritual needs of patients. Using this resource and
any other guidelines/examples that you can find, create your own tool for
assessing the spiritual needs of patients.
Your spiritual needs assessment survey must include a
minimum of five questions that can be answered during the interview. During the
interview, document the interviewee’s responses.
The transcript should include the questions asked and the
answers provided. Be sure to record the responses during the interview by
taking detailed notes. Omit specific names and other personal information
through which the interviewee can be determined.
Part II: Analysis
Write a 500-750 word analysis of your interview experience.
Be sure to exclude specific names and other personal information from the
interview. Instead, provide demographics such as sex, age, ethnicity, and
religion. Include the following in your response:
What went well?
Were there any barriers or challenges that inhibited your
ability to complete the assessment tool? How would you address these in the
future or change your assessment to better address these challenges?
How can this tool assist you in providing appropriate
interventions to meet the needs of your patient?
Did you discover that illness and stress amplified the
spiritual concern and needs of your interviewee? Explain your answer with examples.
Submit both the transcript of the interview and the analysis
of your results. This should be submitted as one document. The interview
transcript does not figure into the word count.
