Process recording: a student's perspective

Abstract

■ The framework of process recording is a useful tool to facilitate self-assessment and evaluation of interactions. ■ Heron's (1986) Six Category Intervention Analysis Model enables the health professional to focus on the intention of their intervention. ■ Health interviews in school frequently provide occasion for opportunistic health promotion, a large part of the school nurse's role. ■ Health rarely motivates children, they perceive their vulnerability as low, but age, social class, and gender influence this. ■ Children are often egocentric; inexperience limits a child's moral and cognitive judgements.
