During the last week I have had the pleasure of interviewing several individuals about their beliefs and how those beliefs affect how they would anticipate their own needs in a healthcare setting. I found that I also learned a lot about each individual’s faith, how their faiths affected their daily lives and their worldviews. I conducted four interviews in the last week and I believe that I have captured a diverse cross section of view on faith and reality from these individuals.

Throughout the interview, the main underlying theme was keeping communication with employees and board members for the best interest of the organization.

As turnover was an issue in specific departments, the director noted that many incentives are in place to keep well rounded employees; keeping them satisfied, and in turn increase retention.

Maria is a caregiver at Peppermint Tree Daycare in Edison, New Jersey. Maria has known me for all of my life, although I don’t remember her as a child. When I was a young girl I attended this facility where she took good care of me and watched me grow until I was four years of age. My mother and she grew such a tight bond that she would babysit my sister and I on weekends when my mom needed to work overtime. As years went by, my mom and Maria lost touch. Two years ago, I ended up getting a job at Peppermint Tree Daycare. I now work in the baby room with Maria five days a week and look at her as a second mother. Because of my close relationship with her, I felt interviewing her would be perfect. I asked Maria if she would be willing to do this interview and in a heartbeat she considered my request.

Olson (2013) indicated that Latinos and Chinese families/parents hold certain cosmological beliefs in their respective cultures. For instance, Latinos believe that nothing can be done to alter the status of autism in their family members while the Chinese hold the belief that children with ASD could naturally outgrow its presence in their lives. In the case of African American families, Julien (2013) stated that the urge and urgency to seek clinical and therapeutic services is very low because of their belief that caring for a child with ASD is a family responsibility and also believe that society frowns at ASD and individuals are face with persistent stigmatization. African American belief systems also make some of the parents of children with ASD to seek for solutions from churches, spiritual leaders, trusted friends and family members instead of try to access conventional treatments. A parent’s beliefs, interpretation of situations, emotional and psychological processes shapes his/her mental reasoning and this network of thoughts affects parental choice of treatment for their ASD

As healthcare providers, maintaining a patient’s confidentiality, human dignity and privacy is expected at all times. Nurses are faced with maintaining patient confidentiality on a daily basis.

The elderly population does not like relying on others for help. Most of the time, these patients do not verbalize when they are in pain or are depressed for fear of being a burden to their spouse, children, or friends. Because of this, nurses need to be astute enough to pick up on some of the nonverbal cues for when a patient is in pain or displaying signs and symptoms of depression. The purpose of this paper is to continue my interview with R.H. and assess his risk for depression, pain, and environmental hazards. In addition, I will ask the patient if he has an advance directive or living will and based on his answer I will formulate a teaching plan on areas needing

SCD patients are regularly checked and followed by pediatrics hematologist from the time of diagnosis at a young age. The continuity of care in this setting provides a great opportunity for physicians to build strong and close working relationship with patients.

This demonstrated to me that the physician’s availability and willingness to go the extra mile could help establish trust and rapport with his/her patients.
