(Benchmark Assignment)
Spiritual Needs Assessment
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 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.
Create a survey to assess
the subject’s spiritual need during the interview. The spiritual needs
assessment survey needs a minimum of five questions that can be answered during
the interview. During the interview, document the interviewee’s
responses.
Submit the transcript of
the interview. The transcript should include the questions asked and the
answers provided. Be sure record the responses during the interview by
taking detailed notes. Omit specific names and other personal information from
the interview.
Part II: Analysis
Write a 250-500 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? - What
would you do differently in the future? - 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? - Describe
the spiritual experience you had with your patient, family member, or
friend using this tool. How does this tool allow you to better 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.
