Assessment Brief
In this assessment you are asked to interview a person diagnosed with a life-long condition. The purpose of this interview is to gain an appreciation of how living with a life-long condition has affected their life, lifestyle and that of their family/whanau. The person you select for this case study may be a friend, a colleague, or someone in your family, although NOT an immediate family member e.g. parent, sibling or child whom you are providing direct care for. Check with your lecturer if you are unsure.
Provide your interviewee with the approved UCOL information sheet and consent form (available only from BN712 lecturer). Your interviewee must be prepared to provide some initial information and sign the consent form prior to the interview taking place. It is expected that you will maintain the strictest confidentiality relating to personal details of the person, and health care professionals or institutions involved in their care at all times. Your portfolio will not be marked if a signed consent form from the person you have interviewed is not attached to your portfolio and/or confidentiality is not maintained
Negotiate with your person to find a convenient time and place to conduct your interview. You will need to ensure that their privacy is maintained at all times.
