In Phenomenological research a person’s lived experience is transformed into writing, whereby their private information is made public. According to Struebert and Carpenter (2011), the researcher experiences five transformations doing this type of research (1) The people’s experiences are transferred into language (2) The researcher transforms what is seen and heard into an understanding of the original experience (3) Transforms what is understood into conceptual categories (4) The information is transferred into written form that captures what the researcher thought about the experience and reflects the participants descriptions (5) The researcher transforms the written document that clarifies how the preceding steps were accomplished. …show more content…
81). The ability to communicate clearly and making the participant feel comfortable are essential skills of an effective researcher. There is a responsibility to transfer the person’s experiences into writing, thereby helping others to understand the he lived human experience. I approached “Kim”, who is a person that I have seen at church on several occasions. I do not consider her to be a close friend, but had heard that she had adopted several children. I approached her about capturing her experience for a paper that I was completing. We arranged to meet after church and chose a private area where she could speak freely. She agreed to have the conversation recorded and I assured her that only excerpts from the tape would be transcribed into the paper. The interview lasted approximately 45 minutes and was recorded. I iterated to her that the tape and any manuscripts would be destroyed after my paper was completed and submitted. In an effort to assure she would be comfortable with the experience, I made he aware that she was in control, that she did not have discuss things that made her uncomfortable and could end the interview at any time. Prior to the interview, I developed a set of open ended questions that would help to guide the conversation. Open ended questions allow the conversation to flow and helps to make the participant feel more comfortable. The participant
Open-ended question are a good way to start conversations as the client cannot just answer with a yes or no. It forces them to give you more information which makes it easier to understand and provide care for them. This would help Josephine connect more with her healthcare providers and her husband.
Secondly, open-ended question should be adopted as the major type of interview questions because it allows maximum freedom for the client to respond in his or her own way (Balzer, Julia, 2004).
The recordings help recognize the use of skills, analyze effective communication and pin point areas of improvement. The two main skills used throughout this process recording were elaboration and empathy; however efforts at addressing the silence, displaying genuineness and focused listening were also used. Even though the use of empathy and elaboration seemed to be used throughout the session, there is still some much needed improvement as well as listening to the implied
Although the series of questions used in each interview was essentially uniform across participants, further prompting and probing questions such as, “Tell me more,” “Anything else?” “Why?” or “How?” were carried out when the quality of the participant’s response could be enhanced, that is, when the response was vague, limited, or unclear (Bibace & Walsh, 1980).
Questioning is the act of forming an inquiry and interpersonal communication to gain information which assist in making decisions. There are two common types of questions that are mostly used in an interviewing scenario, that is; closed and open questions. Closed questions are restrictive and require short answers .For instance, “Yes/ No “answers. The amount of information gained is limited while, open questions begin with “What, Why/ who?”They allow patients the freedom to talk about what they wish and invite an argument, long answers are required for these types of questions. (Stein-Parbury, 2009).
Moustakas reading “Phenomenological Research Methods” (1994:13) says that “phenomenology is a qualitative method of research – refrains from importing external frameworks and sets aside judgements about the realness of the phenomenon.”
The scholar will demonstrate a strong belief in effective communication in order for leadership, followers, and the entire organization to have the opportunity to thrive and succeed. By not having effective communication, there will be room for misunderstandings and mistakes to occur. The scholar will demonstrate knowledge and expertise in having effective communication skills in order to avoid conflicts within the workplace environment and allow room for growth. The following artifacts will serve as evidence that the scholar has had the ability to effectively learn and apply achievement of outcome
I have found effective communication to be the most important thing in overcoming the difficulty of conducting my physical product. Overall, I am able to learn from each one of these experiences and take note of how I handled each situation so I can mitigate and respond to future challenges. I first grew through my research as I reached out to large companies around the world in search of the latest data to help me with my project. Later on I learned about the importance of seeking the help of teachers. I like to think I can do things on my own, but having that mentality will often cause more obstetrical. While getting help others around me I was able to develop me argumentative writing skills and received advice on how to structure points in an argument. Lastly, I grew through my research as I learned the importance of effect communication. When working in a diverse environment communication skills are vital to success. Altogether I have learned a lot through the research process as I have grown by overcoming challenges in
In the article titled, "Extra dimensions in all aspects of life-the meaning of life with bipolar disorder" it discussed how bipolar effects not only the individual but their families and friends. This disorder as described in the DSM IV has a large variety of lifelong mood swings characterized by depressive, hypomanic, manic or mixed episodes. There were a few studies discussed in the article but, I will only focus on one, "The Lived Experience". It gave a personal account of someone's story living with bipolar as an adult. As one person described it as, “the doors to everything that's been negative in my life open up and all those previous depressions have been stored in that room". Bipolar can wreak havoc on a person's life and to no fault of their own. Sadly, it is a combination of genetics and environmental circumstances.
My research subject is about the importance of good communication skills in the medical field. Communication skills is very important to communicate with the patients in the all the medical practitioners, especially in the EMS field . The communication skills is very important in the EMS because understanding the patient is the best way to treat them. There are a lot of studies shows that communication skills is very important to all the medical practitioners. For example, the researchers made the sample test by observing the doctors and their communication, surveying the patient’s experience, and interviewing the doctor. The communication skills show how effectively the doctors are using and understanding language.
Communication skills – you must be able to listen and then report back your finding and conclusions to your audience
Whilst the open ended questions allowed deeper responses as spoken about above it was also evident that these questions allowed Mary Doe to feel comfortable throughout the interview as she was allowed to express her own open thought rather than having a written script of multiple smaller closed ended questions. REF
160-164). As per Sommers-Flanagan and Sommers-Flanagan (2008, p. 164-171), a brief summary of the concerns, a closing statement, and reassurance of the support are the few components of closing and termination. Throughout the interview a range of open, closed, and reflective questions are used (Yeung, 2008, p.19-23). Whereas the use of leading, multiple, hypothetical, and double barrelled questions should be minimised (Yeung, 2008, p.42-58).
When I did meet the mark for constructing the proper questions, organizing an interview allowed me to experience the pleasure of collecting facts about a person, placing a personality to the responses, and gaining perspective about another person’s domain. Furthermore, I learned the value
