Instructional Methods For A Teaching Learning Experience With The Group Of Stroke Survivor Patients And Family Caregivers

Teaching-learning session is almost the same to the nursing process that is used in clinical settings (Habel,2006). In the learning process, the initial step is assessment of the learners understanding towards their health condition, which is then followed by the questions what do they need to learn and what will be the appropriate approach to teach them (Habel, 2006).

Today’s speech pathologists are faced with many challenges. However, the field of speech therapy is unique in that when the speech pathologist overcomes a challenges is more often that not a significant triumph in the patients life. It is of massive importance for speech therapist have the following traits good interpersonal skills, the ability to take another’s perspective and problem solving skills.

During the first therapy session the most obvious behavior that I observed was the way the student would make noises whenever he was working on activities. The student would make a chirping sound with his mouth whenever he was working on activities with the speech pathologist. This student’s session was interrupted by lunch time, so I was only able to observe the second half of the class. In the ten minute

The opportunity to observe the work overview of a Speech Pathologist, has tremendously solidified my interest in this field. At the Diana Rogovin Speech Center at Brooklyn College, I observed clients of various ages with different speech language disorders including articulation, language, voice, fluency and accent modification. Observing clinicians at the speech center gave me the opportunity to learn how important client-clinician interaction is for the session and how essential it is to build a good relationship with the client. Although I learned the

A stroke is a life changing disease and sudden attack of weakness to one side of the body resulting from a interruption to the flow of blood going to the brain that can be a minor attack and resolved in a few days or major attack leaving the person with physical disabilities and cognitive deficit (McFerran 2008). Therefore, stroke can affect the quality of life of an individual from the lack of communication, mobility and independence and intern can cause one to become depressed. This essay is concerning the case of Mr. Alfred Smith who was

How do stroke survivors (or others with a chronic illness) and health care providers remain hopeful and “realistic”? What values are involved in maintaining hope while being realistic?

The only time he had to talk in front of people was at a commencement ceremony. He doesn’t really like to talk in front of a huge crowd. The last question I asked was how important to success in your career is effective public speaking? He stated, “Public speaking is not a big event in my career. It’s not really what I do maybe I shy away from it. In my career I only talk one on one with my patients and there family. Everything I discuss with my patients is private and confidential. So therefore I don’t need to really give a speech among a crowd.”

Many individuals learn using a combination of styles. After considering all aspects of my patient I created my teaching plan to benefit visual, auditory, and tactile learners. My plan included an informative brochure that I created at a reading level suitable for my patient and visual aids consisting of tables such as “My Plate,” nutrition labels, and certain foods to avoid. The visual aids were necessary for my patient’s literacy level

Since the stroke, Carole has received care from multiple healthcare providers - some were better than others and she met many great people, but her overall care experience “could have been much better in many different ways”.

Evidence-Base practice (EBP) is defined as based on problems identified from nursing practice; using best evidence and professional expertise and merging them into current practice to ensure patients receive quality care (French, 1999). Evidence-based practice is a part of quality improvement process; it is made of evidence, clinical expertise, patient preference and the context of care (Barker, 2013). In brief, evidence-based practice is the guideline in the nursing practice that requires nurses gather and use clinical evidence to help diagnose or assess patients correctly by using their knowledge and experience in order they can deliver the quality of care to the patients (Ellis, 2013). In the other words, in the nursing practice the clinical evidence supports all the nursing procedures performed.

If there is a new person to the group, they ask when they had their stroke and how are they dealing with it and if they have any questions. They give a lot of strong support to the people that attend. Since I was a first timer we went around the circle and talk about ourselves, they told me how long its been since their first stroke and how they are copping with it. All the members where in the Acute rehab unit at some point and were referred by a social worker who is the leader of the group. When patients are having a hard time dealing with their stoke nurse will let social worker know and social worker will talk to patient and family and will refer them to the stroke support group. We have flyers on the nursing station and when ANM make discharged phone calls they will let patient and family know about stoke support group. It was really nice to actually attend a stoke support group to hear and listen to the members who where once patients. They explain how they felt trapped in their body not being able to be independent and have nurses and aids take care of them was once very

Stroke affects everybody differently, and it is difficult to say how much of a recovery is possible. Many stroke survivors experience the most dramatic recovery during their stay in hospital in the weeks after their stroke.

One common instructional practice of MSLE, consistent with research findings, is teaching individuals in direct instruction in speech-print correspondence. Some other common instructional practices are strategies using active learning such as mnemonic strategies and use of tactile activities to learn

The over the counter medication once known only for its ability of easing aches and pains or fighting off fever and inflammation is proving itself to be quite the miracle drug. Aspirin has become part of the protocol for stroke victims as a preventative measure due to its neuro-protective benefits. Stroke can cause lesions in cerebral white matter, which may result in cognitive impairments such as deficits in learning and memory. White matter lesions (WML) have also been linked to increasing the risk of post-stroke dementia. Cerebral white matter damage has been widely overlooked. Comprised of oligodendrocytes that form the insulating myelin in the CNS, white matter is evidentially just as vulnerable to ischemia as gray matter.
