For this assessment, you will create a video reflection that addresses either an interprofessional collaboration you experienced or a collaboration case study scenario that you imagine you experienced.

Introduction

Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, health care practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.

Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and causes of people’s actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.

As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement

Note: The Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an oral presentation/video. Your assessment will reflect on either a professional collaboration you experienced or a collaboration case study scenario that you imagine you experienced

Competencies Measured

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:

• Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health.
  • Identify ways poor collaboration can result in inefficient management of human and financial resources, supported by evidence from the literature.

• Competency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes.

Here are a few additional tips for success on this assessment:

• o
  Write
  out a script for your video (similar to how you would write a paper) to ensure
  everything is covered. Try to create a section for each area of the grading
  rubric to clearly structure your ideas.
  o
  You are
  not required to upload this script because I can only grade based on what is
  covered in your video. However, I would strongly encourage you to upload it
  (even if it is not in APA format) because it can be really helpful when I am
  grading and can help to ensure you earn the highest score possible. For
  example, I will sometimes refer back to it when trying to confirm which
  reference you are discussing or which section a statement is meant to be in.
  This can also be very helpful if there are any gaps in audio.
  o
  Be sure
  your reference list follows APA format – this is the part where APA formatting
  will be graded.

At three times during the semester, you are expected to write a brief reflection paper which requires you to take the perspectives of various individuals. You have the option to submit up to 3 reflection papers. The top 2 marks will be chosen for your grade. The reflection papers are due any time before their respective deadlines. That is, you do not have to write a reflection paper the same week as an exam. You can choose to do it beforehand.

You have to write one reflection paper

reflection paper 1 and in a word document.

Reflection 1 Topic Name is – Eating (Eating Disorder)

Format

You are asked to write a brief reflection (approximately 500 words), written in prose (i.e., complete, grammatically correct, and polished sentences). In this reflection paper you need to address the following questions:

1. What do you think would be most difficult for individuals who experience this disorder?

Something that would have strengthened your paper is including more on the diagnostic criteria for Eating , as well as share some examples on how it can differ between different people.

2. What do you think would be most difficult for the families and/or friends of an individual with this disorder?

Similarly, I would have loved to see you offer some thoughts on what the individual and their family/friends could do to address these issue. Should they become more educated on the topic? Is there treatment options for individuals with eating disorder?

3. What do you think is the most damaging stereotype, misconception, or misunderstanding of these types of disorders commonly held by the public?

Note: You are asked not to divulge any personal mental health information in these reflections. Rather, your aims should be to: 1) consider the spectrum of human experience and 2) reflect on the experiences of individuals who have faced severe challenges, along with their families and friends.

Grading Expectations

Each paper is marked out of 15 marks.

• Paper addresses at least 3 of the specified questions (/3 marks)
• Paper adheres to the length guidelines (i.e., between 350 and 650 words) (/1 mark)
• Paper is well-written (e.g., free from grammatical errors, typos), well organized, coherent (/1 mark)
• Engagement: For each question, the content clearly demonstrates the student’s engagement with the material and depth of consideration (e.g., an ability to adopt another frame of reference from one’s own in describing various perspectives of individuals involved) (/9 marks). *See more detail below.

*FURTHER DETAILS ON THE 8 MARKS FOR ENGAGEMENT AND DEPTH OF CONSIDERATION:

9 – Outstanding

• Exceptional understanding of the disorder that they are discussing (e.g., solid grasp of diagnostic criteria, as well as how it may present differently in different individuals, and how this may differ from similar disorders)
• Goes outside of the textbook to gain further insight and information about the disorder
• Demonstrates exceptional depth and insight in reflecting on the topic. Goes beyond diagnostic criteria and speaks to the complex difficulties that may be present, at an individual and systems level (e.g., inter-generational effects, barriers to accessing treatment)
• Really gets “in the mind” of the individual or family member (or both), and conveys an exceptional level of compassion, empathy, and awareness in doing so. Able to separate their own ideas from those of the individual for the purposes of the reflection.
• Uses person-centred and dignified language when speaking about individuals impacted by the disorder
• Considers the complexities of each individual when reflecting on this material (e.g., not all people with social anxiety are introverts)
• In speaking about “what society can do”, student moves beyond themes of education and raising awareness

Suggestion given by mam. Both of these below suggestion have to be followed

This should be focused more and more as mam has suggested to strength
