This report represents one's self-narrative reflections as an individual in Advance Care Planning (ACP) facilitation.
This analysis portrays methodological intentions, experiences into several parts.
Deemed as a form of debriefing report, this article transforms one's feelings in the discussion into writing, aimed to understand the process of facilitation and learn about the context within them.
Expectations and the reality - Personal feelings during the facilitation Being almost a total stranger to the topic it is almost unnecessary to say one could not expect anything more from the facilitation than the reality that was found.
The facilitator was extremely impressed with the professionalism and competency of the peers who found ways to overcome interview limitations and to go beyond what was required of them.
Despite one's genuine interest to overcome the extensive lists of checklists, current reality hit made one realise he or she is just in the paraphrase of the entire ACP.
In some aspects of the discussion some people can omit exploring perspectives on comfort care.
As part of human's normal reactions I reckon most of the work, regardless of weaknesses, has a reasonable level of quality.
At the very least, some managed to overpower the 'moving forward' phase over 'getting stuck' phase.
Getting into a mundane stage was never an option to give up.
Perhaps the need to fulfil the cycle of human consciousness by series of pausing in between and capturing ideas for reflection.
Strength and Weaknesses Being a believer in interpersonal relationships as crucial criteria for self-improvement, one cannot allow myself taking a submissive phase.
This evidently reflects one's strength.
We should take an active role in making strengths shine.
Learning to be proactive, eloquent in public speaking makes one conduct facilitation without wavering until desire results appear.
This enables you to hold positive faith and speak with utmost conviction.
On the other hand, over perceiving what one believed as strength is actually his weakness.
Half the battle is actually internal.
One will need to handle flaws through determination and honesty of self-examination.
Equally important, one will need to explore and query clients' needs in greater detail.
For instance, suggest ways in providing alternative therapies, inducing new treatments or even relaxation techniques for the patient receiving ACP.
Proposed Actions for Improvement To improve on any activity I firmly believe one must start concrete steps and analyse the actions involved in the process.
One will need to walk through the sequences of action, noting any details of the facilitation that lacks medical knowledge, areas of duplicate work and irrelevant in content.
One will then inspect this checklist and manage them in a better context in future.
Acknowledgement the correct call of actions hence is far more crucial than pushing the blame on the facilitation of the ACP.
Conclusion In my opinion, the best way to breakthrough with ACP is to focus on effective tools that will allow one to make greatest success in healthcare professional-patient relationship.
Using most appropriate keywords, careful planning and acting in the best interest of the client is the key to dominate the ACP arena.
