BP Reading Task 1: Being and becoming an integrated health professional1.1 To over-identify refers to identifying too much with another person or
thing. You identify yourself to such a degree which is often to the
disbenefit of one’s personality and character. In the case Julia is seen to
over-identify when she mistakes her past experiences and Kershni’s
experience as being the same. We need to be aware of the limitations of
our knowledge as well as understand when our experiences are linked
so that we can fully understand and react to the situation.
1.2 Empathy: Empathy is the ability to recognize and understand the
feelings and distress of another without ignoring the importance of their
distress but also not letting one’s own emotional response influence or
overwhelm the situation.
Sympathy: Sympathy refers to feelings of grief and regret for someone
else’s difficulty and misfortune. Sympathy often conveys commiseration.
The difference between empathy and sympathy is that when one shows
empathy they are simply putting themselves in the shoes of another
person. They are imagining themselves In the situation of another and
are trying to understand the situation. Sympathy is feeling bad for
another person, but not knowing/ understanding what their situation is
like.
1.3 Self-reflection is careful thought about your own behavior and beliefs.
Self-reflection strengthens one’s emotional intelligence. Self-reflection
allows one to act with integrity and confidence. Self-reflection allows a
person to learn and identify their mistakes and use those mistakes as an
opportunity to understand themselves. One learns to understand their
emotions, as well as recognize their impact on others.
2.1 The knowing health professional relates to knowledge and skills. The
knowing dimension is related to skills developed during one’s life and
using and applying that acquired experience in situations. The knowing
dimension is also related to the development of the health professional
becoming capable to practice in a constantly changing technological
environment. The knowing health professional uses prior knowledge to
develop skills and bring about new skills and expertise. The knowing
professional will also use knowledge based on cultures and social
domains in order to be able to understand and work with all types of
people while respecting their decisions.
