Appendix D: Reflection and Action Tools
When Family Outcomes are Not What We Hoped
Notes for reflection and action at the client and system level
When Family Outcomes are Not What We Hoped
Reflection questions: journal or discuss with your reflective practice supervisor or state nurse consultant
Reflection sessions are guided by the HVer and should start with mindful self-regulation.
The below questions can be used as guiding tools spaced out over multiple reflection sessions, per home visitor's needs.
- What has it been like for you to serve this client?
- What do you now know that you didn't know before the outcome was determined?
- What would you like to repeat from your practice with this family if you have a similar client situation in the future?
- What would you like to change in your practice if you have a similar client situation in the future?
- What unmet need do you have regarding helping you process this outcome? How will you get that need met?
