1. Aims

UNIT 1: To understand the human needs and their classification according to different models. To compare a hierarchical model (Maslow) with a non-hierarchical one (Virginia

Henderson). To use vocabulary related to the human needs. To understand the concept of self-actualization. To understand the role of a nurse according to Virginia Henderson model.

UNIT 2: To learn communication skills that are necessary for providing quality emotional care to patients.

To distinguish verbal and non-verbal communication. To use active listening strategies. To empathise with the patients.

2. Materials and methodologyUNIT 1Food for thought (30 minutes)

TIPS All units begin with an introductory section called: Food for thought.

o This section contains basic questions related to the topic of the unit so that the students can reflect on how much they know about human needs before starting to work.

o Food for thought should take approximately 30 minutes of class time.

The teacher should take this into account when explaining and correcting the task:o Priorization, hierarchy and humans needs are subjected to some degree of

subjectivityo Students may not be aware of the fact that when they suffer from a disease we

may not be able to satisfy some of our basic needs.

AF_SAN01_ Emotional Care/ Guia del professor.Maria Redon 1

Human Needs: Concept and models.FOOD FOR THOUGHT

1. What are human needs? Write a list of human needs2. Arrange those needs in order of importance from the most important to the least

important3. Compare your list and prioritization with your classmates’. 4. Do you think that everybody has the same human needs?5. Do patients have more needs than a healthy person? Why do you think so?

o Regarding the question: What’s nurse and nurse assistant role? The answer could be :

To reach the independence of the patient as soon as possible. We should take care of our patient’s needs during the nursing process;

above all nursing assistants have a very important role in the implementation step of the nursing process.

KEY

a. The correct order of human needs according to Maslow, from the top to the bottom of the pyramid is:

5. Self-actualization4. Esteem

3. Love/Belonging2. Safety

1. Physiological needs

Figure 1. Maslow Pyramid

b. Possible answers 5. Self-actualization: studies, learning from classes or from others. 4. Esteem: healthy self-esteem, being capable of passing your exams, of making friends.3. Love/Belonging: talking with your friends, expressing emotions, belonging to a club.2. Safety: housing (flat, apartment, cave), money for food, etc. 1. Physiological needs: breathing, eating, drinking, sleeping, resting, etc.

AF_SAN01_ Emotional Care/ Guia del professor.Maria Redon 2

Task 1. Human needs according to Abraham Maslow (1 hour)

Find below Maslow’s hiearchy of needs. This diagram is a pyramid with 5 levels. Each level represents different human needs.

1. Self-actualization 2. Safety3. Love/Belonging4. Physiological needs5. Esteem

a. Complete the blanks in the pyramid below with the following list of human needs:b. Place the words in your list of human needs under each of the Maslow categories.

TIPS Encourage the students to describe what physiological needs are, what they think that

safety and love mean. Students can answer this by thinking about their daily activities. If students do not know what belonging, esteem and self-actualization mean, explain

these concepts using examples or showing them some images to help the students to understand the words.

TO KNOW MOREYou can find more information about human needs according to Maslow on this website.

http://www.slideshare.net/carterfsmith/maslow-hierarchy-of-needs-presentation

Task 2. Human needs according to Virginia Henderson (1 hour)

KEY: Maslow’s needs are divided into 5 levels and they are hierarchised. A need would have to be mostly satisfied before someone can give his/her attention to the next higher need. However Virginia Henderson describes 14 needs and they are not hierarchised. What is more, worship according to one’s faith does not appear in Maslow needs.

TIPS

I may recommend giving this task as homework. Students can use the dictionary to look up the verbs or nouns. Facilities: the building for a specific purpose, service. (Attention, facilities is a false

friend!)

AF_SAN01_ Emotional Care/ Guia del professor.Maria Redon 3

Maslow was not the only one who established a list of human needs. Virginia Henderson also created her own inventory of needs.

a) Look at the next Henderson list of human needs and compare it with Maslow’s. Can you spot 2 differences?

b) Read the list of human needs according to this model. Identify verbs and nouns and translate them into your language. Use the table below.

Task 3. Self-actualization (1 hour)

TIPS Students must read the glossary before starting task 3. They should pay attention to actualize and achievement definitions. These terms are

essential to understand the video. This task would also be very useful to practice pronunciation. Teacher may use this task to remind students that _ness creates abstract nouns from

an adjective (goodness, whiteness, selfishness, closeness) These are some questions you may ask to the students before watching the video:

o Have you had some peak experiences?o Do you know self- actualizing people? o Have you ever met any of them?

These questions can help students to understand the video better.

“No one can do everything, but we nearly all are able to achieve more than we think we can”

Length: 9’ 59 minutes

Maslow’s Hierarchyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF2c1q_OvdE

1. Where was Maslow from? 2. What are Maslow’s assumptions?3. What have you learnt about Maslow’s life and importance? 4. What are the characteristics of self -actualizing people? 5. What self-actualizing people does the video mention?

KEY:1. He was from New York, America.2. Human nature is basically good. Normal human development involves the actualization

of the goodness.

AF_SAN01_ Emotional Care/ Guia del professor.Maria Redon

GLOSSARYActualize /æktʃʊəˌlaɪz/ to make actual or real, to represent realisticallyAchievement /əˈtʃiːvmənt/ accomplishment, goal achieved, talentCode  /kəʊd/ rules or lawsCoin  /kɔɪn/ createCrowd /kraʊd/audience, populace, massesShelter /ˈʃeltəʳ/ refuge

We are going to watch a video that expands on the Maslow Hierarchy, particularly on the importance of self-actualization. Read these questions before watching the video.

5

3. Responses can vary:a. He described human needs. b. He said that some needs have to do with survival, physically or psychologycally.c. According to Maslow the human needs are hierachised/prioritized.d. He studied psychology.e. He died in California.f. He was one of the founders of Humanistic Psychology.

4. Morality, autonomy, creativity, spontaneous personality or spontaneity, problem solving abilities, lack of prejudice, peak experiences

5. Peak experiences are high points in life when the individual is in harmony with himself and his/her surroundings.

6. Einstein, Gandhi, Teresa de Calcutta, Steven Hawking, Nelson Mandela…

Task 4. Virginia Henderson: nurse role (1 hour)

TIPS

Students should learn the following vocabulary before starting the task Propose the students to build sentences using the words in the glossary Possible questions to ask: what are your aims? what tasks do you usually perform?

AF_SAN01_ Emotional Care/ Guia del professor.Maria Redon

GLOSSARYAim /eɪm/ intention, objectiveGoal /ɡəʊl/ aim, intentionRole /rəʊl/ usual or customary function, as in a game of roleWill /wɪl/ determined intentionStrength /strɛŋθ/ the state or quality of being physically or mentally strongPerformance /pəˈfɔːməns/ the act, process, or art of performing

Virginia Henderson described the nurse's role as substitutive (doing for the person), supplementary (helping the person), complementary (working with the person). Her goal was to help the person become as independent as possible.

6

Final draft GP unit1 unit2 _v1_marianredon200614

KEY: The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well (healthy), in the

performance of those activities contributing to his/her health or to his/her peaceful death. The objective is that the nurse helps the patient to perform daily tasks that he/she would perform unaided if he/she had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him/her gain independence as rapidly as possible" (Henderson, 1966).

Length: 2.05 minutes

First lady of Nursing: Virginia Henderson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3mnNPozt_w

HIGHLIGHTSThe Goal of nursing: to gain independence and to improve the health of individuals and thus to reduce illness.

UNIT 2

Food for thought (30 minutes)

Empathy in communication

FOOD FOR THOUGHT1. What does communication mean?2. What is the difference between information and communication?3. Is feed-back important for an effective communication?4. Who are the sender and the receiver in the diagram below?5. Are we always the senders or the receivers of messages? Why? Do we

constantly exchange the roles?6. Is communication essential in patient care? Why?7. Are you a good communicator?

AF_SAN01_ Emotional Care/ Guia del professor.Maria Redon

KEY

1. Ask your students for possible communications situations in health centers, in a patient’s ward, in the doctor’s office, in the emergency room admittance, doing health educational tasks.

2. Information: it is the transmission of a message from a sender to a receiver.

Communication: it is a bi-directional sequence of transmission of messages where the counterparts are both "senders and receivers".

3. Feed-back is audience response, which enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of our message. Effective communication is critical in health care settings where miscommunication may lead to misdiagnosis /misˈdaɪəgˈnoʊsɪs/ and improper or delayed medical treatment.

4. Answer in the diagram below.

5. Patients and hospital staff are both senders and receivers. They exchange their roles constantly.

6. Answers will vary.

7. Yes, I am. Because I am very friendly, extrovert, patient, assertive, not shy, and I can explain my opinion to other people clearly. I have good fluency in my mother tongue and I also use body language to enhance the communication.
