This document provides guidance on interviewing skills and obtaining a health history. It discusses the purpose of interviewing as gathering information to establish trust and offer information to improve patient well-being. The interview process involves greeting the patient, inviting their story, establishing the agenda, clarifying details, creating understanding, and planning follow-up. Key principles of interviewing include active listening, adaptive questioning, empathic responses, and summarization. Obtaining a health history involves biographical data, present illness, past health, family history, and systems review to comprehensively understand a patient's situation.
The nursing process functions as a systematic guide to client-centered care with 5 sequential steps. These are assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Assessment is the first step and involves critical thinking skills and data collection; subjective and objective

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

3. Objectives:
By the end of the unit, learners will be able to:
• 1. Explain the purpose, process, phases &
principles of interviewing.
• Describe Content and format used to obtain a
Health History
4. Purpose of Interviewing
• The health history interview is a conversation with a
purpose.
• As a clinician, you will draw on many of the
interpersonal skills that you use every day, but
with unique and important differences. Unlike
social conversation, in which
you express your own needs and interests with
responsibility only for yourself.
• The primary goal of the clinician–patient
interview is to improve the well-being of the
patient.
5. • The purpose of conversation with a patient is
three fold:
• To establish a trusting and supportive relationship.
• To gather information, and to offer information.
• Communicating and relating therapeutically with
patients are the most valued skills of clinical care.
As a beginning clinician, you will focus your
energies on gathering information. At the same
time, by using techniques that promote trust and
communication.
6. Cont.…
• You will allow the patient’s story to unfold in its
most full and detailed form. Establishing a
supportive interaction enhances information-
gathering and itself becomes part of the
therapeutic process of patient care.
7. Process of Interview
• Interviewing process differs significantly from the
format for the health history.
• Both are fundamental to your work with patients,
but each serves a different purpose. The health
history
• format is a structured framework for organizing
patient information in written or verbal form: it
focuses the clinician’s attention on specific pieces
of information that must be obtained from the
patient.
8. • The interviewing process that actually generates
these pieces of information is more fluid.
• It requires knowledge of the information you need
to obtain, the ability to elicit accurate and detailed
information, and interpersonal skills that allow you
to respond to the patient’s feelings.
The Process or sequence of interview:
• Greeting the patient and establishing rapport
• Inviting the patient’s story
• Establishing the agenda for the interview
9. • Expanding and clarifying the patient’s story;
generating and testing diagnostic hypotheses
• Creating a shared understanding of the problem(s)
• Negotiating a plan (includes further evaluation,
treatment, and patient education)
• Planning for follow-up and closing the interview.
10. Principles of interviewing
• Active listening
• Adaptive questioning
• Nonverbal communication
• Facilitation
• Echoing
• Empathic responses
12. Active Listening:
• Active listening is the process of fully attending to
what the patient is communicating, being aware of
the patient’s emotional state, and using verbal and
nonverbal skills to encourage the speaker to
continue and expand.
Adaptive Questioning:
• There are several ways you can ask questions that
add detail to the patient’s story yet facilitate the
flow of the interview.
13. Nonverbal Communication
• Communication that does not involve speech
occurs continuously and provides important clues
to feelings and emotions.
Becoming more sensitive to nonverbal messages
allows you to both “read the patient” more
effectively and to send messages of your own. Pay
close attention to eye contact, facial expression,
posture, head position and movement.
14. Cont…
Facilitation:
• You use facilitation when, by posture, actions, or
words, you encourage the patient to say more but
do not specify the topic. Pausing with a nod of the
head or remaining silent, yet attentive and relaxed,
is a cue for the patient to continue.
15. Echoing:
• Simple repetition of the patient’s words
encourages the patient to express both factual
details and feelings, as in the following example:
• Patient: The pain got worse and began to spread.
(Pause)
• Response: Spread? (Pause)
• Patient: Yes, it went to my shoulder and down my
left arm to the fingers. It was so bad that I thought
I was going to die. (Pause)
• Response: Going to die?
16. Empathic Responses:
• Conveying empathy is part of establishing and
strengthening rapport with patients. As patients
talk with you, they may express—with or without
words—feelings they have not consciously
acknowledged.
• These feelings are crucial to understanding their
illnesses and to establishing a trusting
relationship.
17. Validation:
• Another important way to make a patient feel
accepted is to legitimize or validate his or her
emotional experience. A patient who has been in
a car accident but has no significant physical
injury may still be experiencing distress.
18. Reassurance:
When you are talking with patients who are anxious
or upset, it is tempting to reassure them. You may
find yourself saying “Don’t worry. Everything is
going to be all right.”
Summarization:
Giving a capsule summary of the patient’s story in
the course of the interview can serve several
different functions. It indicates to the patient that
you have been listening carefully.
19. • It can also identify what you know and what you
don’t know. “Now, let me make sure that I have
the full story. You said you’ve had a cough for 3
days, it’s especially bad at night, and you have
started to bring up yellow phlegm.
Highlighting Transitions:
Patients have many reasons to feel worried and
vulnerable. To put them more at ease, tell them
when you are changing.
20. Phase of interview
• Preparatory Phase
• Introduction phase
• Working Phase
• Termination phase
21. Preparatory Phase of the interview
• Before initiating the interview, the nurse
prepares to meet the patient by reading current
and past records and reports, when available.
• During this phase, it is important not to let one's
stereotypes affect the nurse–patient relationship.
• Professional nurses learn to approach patients
with open minds and to be sensitive to the
human needs that underlie diverse behaviors
22. Introduction phase of the interview
• The interview's introduction is crucial because it
sets the tone not only for the remainder of the
interview but also for every following nurse–
patient interaction.
• At the end of this phase of the interview, the
patient should know the name of the primary nurse
and what he or she can expect of nursing care,
should sense that the nurse is competent and cares
about him or her, and should know what is
expected of him or her in terms of developing the
plan of care and participating in its execution
23. Working Phase of the interview
• During the working phase of the interview, the
nurse gathers all the information needed to form
the subjective database. The accuracy,
completeness, and relevance of the database
depend on the nurse's use of the interviewing and
basic communication techniques
24. Termination phase of the interview
• The successful interview is concluded carefully.
• A patient should be advised that the interview is
coming to an end.
• It is helpful to recapitulate the interview,
highlighting key points. Both the patient and the
nurse should be satisfied that the important data
are recorded.
25. • A helpful strategy is to ask the patient after the
summary: “Is there anything else you would like
us to know that will help us plan your care?”
This gives the patient an opportunity to add data
the nurse did not think to include
26. Obtaining and Recording a Client
Health History
Phases of taking Health History:
Two phases:-
The interview phase
The recording phase
27. Guidelines for Taking Nursing
History
Private, comfortable, and quiet environment.
Allow the client to state problems and expectations
for the interview.
Orient the client the structure, purposes, and
expectations of the history.
Communicate and negotiate priorities with the
client
28. Listen more than talk
Observe non verbal communications e.g.
"body language, voice tone, and
appearance".
Review information about past health history
before starting interview.
Balance between allowing a client to talk in
an unstructured manner and the need to
structure requested information.
Clarify the client's definitions (terms &
descriptors) .
29. Avoid yes or no question (when detailed
information is desired).
Write adequate notes for recording?
Record nursing health history soon after
interview.
30. Types of Nursing Health History:
Complete health history: taken on initial visits
to health care facilities.
Interval health history: collect information in
visits following the initial data base is
collected.
Problem- focused health history: collect data
about a specific problem
31. Content and format used to obtain a
Health History
