Reflection Day 3
Reflection Day 3
Reflection Day 3
Once again, new day passed out together with our clients doing the
activities designated for this day both the milieu therapy in the morning and
play therapy in the afternoon. It was a satisfying day as we spent time together
with our clients providing guidance, assistance, and joining them towards the
day activities and all I can say is I’m quite overwhelmed with that kind of
how to be a good leader for our nurses and also for our clients. So in the
morning as usual activity the milieu therapy but we tried to shuffle the
activities and changed some of it as we learned that it gains the clients interest
in doing activities where it is not routinely done and every activity is a new one.
For doing this we can understand what type of activity or where does our client
gains interest more and we can use that information to provide the most
appropriate strategies for them. Like changing the Zumba into some aerobic
exercises to see if the client will be more entertained and more cooperative for
this type of activity. In the afternoon session we did a therapy called Play
therapy where the clients will be engaged on various activities including Play
and also crafts/arts. To the end of the activity the client was encouraged to tell
their opinions and comments regarding the activity that they did where the
nurses assess the answers of the client. This is to establish trust between the
client and nurses. The more they talk about their opinions to you that means
they are developing trust on you. And that’s one thing I learned today. So for
the next activities we will try our best to encourage our clients to engaged more
activities that will help them to gain trust, confidence, and sense of
belongingness.
The program was a success despite those time issues and with the
guidance of our clinical instructor to improve our leadership and empathy for
our clients.
