Self-reflection
Reflecting on the positive aspect, my partner feels confident for me to treat her, not having concern of safety and convinced to bring up interactions with Michelle’s social life such as her family and pet. She feels comfortable in the way I performed manual therapy, always act with consent and constantly check on feelings, in fact I truly appreciate her trust as I recall she is suffering hip and knee stiffness from coaching by the time we filmed. Manual skills and handling related issue I spot on myself is, firstly I tilted my pelvis anteriorly which affected my overall posture, that would decrease my stability while handling the weight of patient and overall movement; and secondly, I misjudge the distance I would need for handling the patient such as plinth height, and stance length. The improvement I would need to ensure for next video, as these postures will affect my overall professional impression as well as my handling stability.
Interactions with patient: My partner reacted positively on the interaction, the pace is comfortable, and the interaction covers most aspects we knew about Michelle, like she’s worried about her puppy Daisy, her family is in distance, and she do miss them. I added the interaction for designing rehabilitation exercise from Michelle’s hobby to further establish the therapeutic relation, which were acknowledged with my partner. However, an improvement named specifically is I could use more eye contact and interact with her facial expression, that missed a few valuable interaction opportunities, which will be part of my goal for the next video.
Person-centred care:
In my planning sheet I intend to cover as many psycho and social aspects on top of physical treatment and being multi purposed in the meantime. Examples of psycho and social interaction include complimenting her Kimono which was gift from her family (or likely form a vacation with her family); highlight benefit of treatment, she will be able to play with her pet sooner. And rehabilitation hobby would encourage the treatment would not only be physical but enjoyable and social interactable. Although I was not able to cover too much from her family and social in the treatment time, my goal for next video would be planning the balance between psycho and social aspects, while maintaining balance with physical treatment.
Professionalism: My partner feels comfortable with my tone and speech, but the dress-code in the video is flawed as I would need to get black trousers for next video, also with a pair of shoes. The posture is concerning as the tilted pelvic may shows sign of lacking confidence in body language.
Goals for next video:
1. Obtain accurate uniforms for clinical environment, fix and tune body language such as eye contact and bad posture to present confidence and professionalism.
2. Improve control of environment, such as placing the other pillow in position for next treatment without reaching far and losing control on patient’s limb, judge distance and length needed for handling with stability.
3. Balance on planning in person-centred care, physical psycho and social elements are equally important in providing holistic care to patient, there shall be even coverage while planning interactions and activity during treatment to cover all aspects without bias, deep consideration in task planning would help maintaining balance of holistic aspects in treatments.
