CCIM Final Exam Questions and Correct Answers Summarize what the Balanced Compassionate Caring Model means: Ans: -Optimum level of emotional involvement yields positive effe cts for both the patient and the clinician. -Zone of Balanced Caring lies between being emotionally detached and being over -
involved. -Draw Relationship Between Level of Clinician Emotional Involvement and Effects on Patient. Why might the Balanced Comp assionate Caring Model be important in a clinician's career? Ans: Anything outside of the Zone of Balanced Caring is simply not sustainable: -Being overly -involved leads to emotional exhaustion. -Being detached also yields downstream emotional probl ems and can result in a lack of a sense of personal accomplishment. Both of these can lead to burnout. In contrast, optimal emotional involvement allows clinicians to manage their own emotions while simultaneously caring for their patients. Balanced Com passionate Caring Attitudes: Caritas Attitude Ans: -This fundamental attitude places compassionate caring attitude as the core driving force in helping relationships. -Whatever you do is grounded in this compassionate caring focus. Even when things get tough, the attitude of caritas persists underneath. -In that way, the caritas attitude is always guiding and motivating what you are doing with another person. In staying grounded in the caritas attitude, we are in touch with the key force in helping ou r patients as well as being connected to the intrinsic motivation we have for being in this work. -If we understand the nature of compassion, we will also be able to guard against being overly emotionally involved with patients and know what we need to do to take care of ourselves in this work. 10 Caritas Processes that facilitate the healing process: Ans: -Practice of loving -kindness toward self and others. -Authentic presence. Instill faith and hope/spirituality. -Develop and sustain a helping -trusting caring relationship. -Being present and supportive to the expression of positive and negative feelings. Creativity in caring process. -Engage in genuine teaching -learning experience. -Create a healing environment. -Honor/assist basic human needs. -Opening and attending to the spiritual/ mysterious and existential unknowns of life-death. Balanced Compassionate Caring Attitudes: Balanced notion of personal responsibility and outcome: Ans: -This attitude basically says that you should accompany people on their journeys, not do their journeys for them. -If a helper has no sense of personal responsibility in helping another person, then the helping action will most likely not be successful. -An excessive sense of pers onal responsibility is also a problem in which the clinician feels they are completely responsible for what happens to the patient. It is unrealistic to take responsibility for all the variables that can affect a patient. -Those you help may hold you more responsible for their progress than you really can be and lay that expectation on you. -Crucial within this attitude are mistakes: Blow to clinician self -confidence; upsetting to increase suffering of patient who sought them out and trusted them. Need eac h other to process what happened in mistakes and how we should proceed; have to support and help colleagues when they make mistakes. Balanced Compassionate Caring Attitudes: Compassionate empathic concern vs. emotional detachment or emotional engulfment. Ans: -Empathic arousal increases the intrinsic motivation to help another person. Empathy leads to helping behavior because it increases our internalized values of what's important to do, which we call 'autonomous motivation'. Emotional detachment rem oves this empathic arousal and thus reduces the motivation to offer help. -Perspectives are important in maintaining balance with this attitude. Specifically, balancing between the 'self' perspective and the 'other' perspective. The key difference being "Imagining what I would feel if I were my patient" vs. "imagining what my patient feels".
