Vu Van Dau, RN, PhD,
Outline of Discussion
• Definition of Coaching
• Coaching in Nursing and Health Care
• APN Coaching
• Coaching Process/Model
Definitions of Coaching
• The word coach is derived from the Middle
English word coche, meaning “wagons or
carriage”, a means of conveyance from one
destination to another.
• Modern used of coach to mean a teacher is apt:
a coach facilitates the safe passage of a person
in transition from one situation to another.
• Can be applied to nurse-patient, faculty-student,
preceptor-student, and mentor-protégé
relationship.
• Patient education is a central and well-
documented function of all nurses in any
setting, and evidence of its effectiveness is
well-established.
• Patient education provided by APNs is
best conceptualized as interpersonal
processes of expert coaching and
guidance through life transitions such as
illness, childbearing, and bereavement.
• Vale et al. (2002):
– Coaching as a method of training patients to
take responsibility for the achievement and
maintenance of target levels of their modifiable
risk factors. Developed “Coaching Cycle”
• Dowd et al (2003):
– “a supportive actions taken by health
professionals that empowers patient to
participate in the achievement of mutually
identified goals.
• Spross and colleagues (Clarke & Spross,
1996 in Hamric, Spross, & Hanson, 1996)
– Develop a model of coaching
– Is a complex, dynamic, collaborative, and
holistic interpersonal process that is mediated
by the APN-patient relationship and the APN’s
self-reflection skills
Expert Coaching and Guidance
• Traditional strategies for motivating patient
behavior change that rely on education
and persuasion, or even coercion, have
not been the most effective.
• Coaching is an successful strategy in
motivating people toward personal and
professional goal.
• Coaching is an NP strategy for improving
patient health outcomes.
• Coaching is an NP educational
competency mandate by the National
Organization of Nurse Practitioner
Faculties.
Coaching in Nursing

to assist other nurses to improve their
effectiveness, transition to new work
environments, or manage career development in
hospitals, clinic, and other health care venues.
• Nurse-patient/family coaching
– An approach to patient care (interventions).
• An approach to patient care.
– eg.,Whittermore et al. (2004) proposed the
adaptation model of Diabetes Model as a
framework for guiding nurse-coaching
interventions for helping patients to integrated
diabetes care into their lives.
Steps in the Coaching Process
• Step1: Goal Definition

The Coaching Model
Vale et al. (2002)
Reassessment Explanation
and rational
Self-Reflection
• Clinical supervision:
• Administrative • Relationship
Supervision • Interaction
• Supervisor & • Goal
Supervisee
• Consultant &
Consultee
Four Types of Consultation
• Client-centered case consultation:
– The goal is assisting the consultee to develop an
effective plan of care for a patient who has a
particularly difficulty or complex problem.
• Consultee-centered case consultation:
– Focused directly on the consultee’s problem in
handling the situation.
– The goal is to assist the consultee to overcome the
deficits involved (e.g, lack of knowledge, skill,
confidence, or objectivity).
• Program-centered administrative
consultation:
– Focuses on the planning and administration of clinical
services.
• Consultee-centered administrative
consultation:
– Focuses on the consultee’s (or group of consultees’)
difficulties as they interfere with the organization’s
objectives.
The Nature of Advanced Practice
Nursing Consultation
• APN-APN Consultation
– A primary care nurse practitioner (NP) caring
for an adolescent patient was concerned about
high risk sexual practices her patient reported.
– The NP felt the need foe additional expertise to
facilitate caring for this patient.
– The NP sought the consultation of a psychiatric
NP colleague with clinical and research
expertise in the area of adolescent health care.
• APN-Physician Consultation
– Physician in primary care often consult APNs
regarding issues as assisting patients in
making lifestyle change or in coping with the
effects of chronic illness.
– Etc.
• APN-Staff Nurse Consultation
– E.g., CNS has been consulted to assess the
suicidal risk and make recommendations for
the treatment of the patient.
Principles of Consultation
• The problem is always identified by the
consultee.
• The relationship between the consultant and
the consultee is nonhierarchical and
collaborative.
• The professional responsibility for the patient
remains with the consultee.
• The consultee is free to accept or reject the
ideas and recommendations of the
consultant.
(Caplan, 1970; Caplan, & Caplan, 1993)
Principles Cont’
• The consultant always considers
contextual factors when responding to the
request for consultation.
• The consultant does not prescribe but
makes recommendations.
• The consultation should be documented.
Caplan’s Consultation Model
• The consultation is recognized as having
specialized expertise.
• The consultee requests the assistance of
that expert in handling of a work-related
difficulty that he or she recognizes as
falling within the expertise of the
consultant.
Documentation and Legal
Considerations
• Documentation of the
consultation in the patient’s
record is appropriate and
important.
• Consultants should document all
consultations in their own
records.
• APNs should be cognizant of
legal issues in all areas of ANP,
including consultation.
• Reimbursement.
