2. Assessment task 2
Assessment Title Concept Map and reflection
Task Description Choose an individual who is living with a chronic condition who you have
known. This may be an individual who you have cared for during your
workplace experience or may be an individual who you know personally
(this can sometimes be confronting). Do not focus the concept map on
yourself. Your main or key concept should be easily identified as the
individual and subconcepts should branch appropriately from main idea to
a complexity of at least four (4) concept levels (subconcepts). Graphically
describe the relationships between your chosen concepts in relation to an
individual living with a chronic condition. Use the map to connect concepts
and facts (nodes) and to demonstrate relationships between concepts like;
determinants of health; the impact of living with a chronic condition;
individual personal likes dislikes aspirations and dreams; and
relationships.
Your map should contain appropriate descriptive links between nodes
(short phrases or specific/descriptive words describing the relationship
between concepts). Do not repeatedly reuse the same link; construct a
variety of links that describe the unique relationship between specific
nodes and include specific examples that clarify the meaning of a given
concept. Include cross-links which demonstrate the complexity for an
individual living with a chronic condition.
In your reflective commentary provide a description and reflection of the
development of the concept map. Do not simply describe the map.
Consider how undertaking this assessment task has impacted on your
understanding of what it is like to live with a chronic condition. Consider
how the development of this assessment task has impacted on your
understanding of a person-centred approach to working with people living
with chronic conditions. Include a reference list and a bibliography if
appropriate relating to the concept map.
You may create your concept map using concept mapping software but
you must save and submit as a jpeg or pdf.
You may hand draw your concept map take a photograph and upload as a
jpeg.
