Introduction to Counseling Learning Objectives
Goals:
My goals for this course are to gain a better understanding of how counseling skills and the different counseling approaches can be applied to my psychiatric nursing practice, how to utilize the knowledge and skills I learn from this class with my patients, and how to gain confidence through practicing these skills during my clinical rotation in order to build strong therapeutic relationships.
How they were met:
I believe my learning goals were reached this semester through utilizing the textbook, participating in online postings and discussions and identifying the purpose and nature of counseling within psychiatric nursing. Upon completion of this course I was able to analyze the benefits of using and possessing counseling skills within mental health care, understand the value of forming therapeutic working alliances between the nurse and service user, and describe the three major theoretical counseling approaches and demonstrate some of the key qualities, skills and attitudes associated with them.
