I am struggling with getting everything done in time. I feel like I underestimated how much time it was going to take to complete these interviews, transcribe them, and then continue on with the synthesis. I do not think I have any burning questions, other than I am struggling with getting stakeholder interviews within my agency, as the program my EBP is on is quite small. I am worried that I won't get everything finished in time.

I completed 10 stakeholder interviews in a timely manner! My agency will not allow me to interview clients or consumers, but completed the additional stakeholder interviews as instructed. I play to compose my synthesis and submit it next week. The stakeholder interviews were difficult to achieve in a timely manner, but my practicum was wonderful at providing times where the clinicians were available. I am slightly nervous about the upcoming presentation, but feel that the synthesis will help me better prepare!

It has been a struggle trying to get these interviews completed since I am only in my practicum one week day every week. Due to my demanding 40+ hour job, school, practicum and not to mention the clinicians busy schedule it has been tough to finish in a timely manor. Worried that I will not be able to come up with a contingency management plan that will fit with my practicum placement.

I really cut it close to getting my interviews finished in time. My project is about Veterans Treatment Court and interviewing the judge was extremely important. Well, judges are busy! But, if I want to make changes in his courtroom I had to get him on-board and invested in the change. I was able to meet with him last week and at first he was skeptical about the change. I was happy to see all the research from last semester pay off, as I was able to explain my project and how the literature supported the change. Fast forward to today at court and the judge stopped me.. he said he was already looking into ordering military flags for each branch of service to put in his courtroom!!

I was able to interview all 5 of my consumers in a timely manner. I was worried about getting 5 interviews done before the first synthesis was due because of a late start at my practicum - luckily this wasn't an issue. I do have 4 stakeholder interviews left to complete, which I hope to have done by next Tuesday. I finished my first assignment last night. It took me a lot longer than I had expected. I am interested to see the feedback on my assignment. I wasn't sure I was doing it 100% correct. I am nervous about the presentation (scheduled for Feb. 28th) but I feel it will be a major relief once that part is over. Ready to keep progressing and finish this semester up! :P

I agree with Corey about struggling to transcribe the interviews and getting it done in time. 20 minutes of conversation is more than I thought when you have to type it. But, I'm almost done with all of my interviews! And I'm enjoying see the different perspectives!

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I have burning questions at this point. I might after we submit the syntheses. I agree with most of you in regards to getting interviews completed. My struggle is that I'm not in practicum, so my employer doesn't have to help me, but they are allowing me to do this project.

I had a meeting with the Director to present my findings so far, so she could determine who should come to the presentation. Despite the hectic pace of the hospital she said she would make time and seemed excited about my content so far. I basically presented all but my consumer and stakeholder wisdom and explained that action plans may change once that info is factored in. She loved my thoughts on an action plan and even suggested working out for me to train the new staff on palliative care information!!! Went better than I could have hoped. She is very intimidating and I have not had much interaction with her as she is not my supervisor.

I was able to get an time/date schedule for presenting! Excited to get working on the presentation, and move to the next step.

I, along with most of you, are having issues with conducting interviews. I was able to conduct stakeholder interviews with no major concerns, but my consumer interviews did not go as planned due to the setting I am in. Trying to interview individuals within an inpatient psychiatric hospital about care they are receiving can be difficult for many reasons including the stability of the individuals and the reliability of reporting. The consumers I interviewed used it as a time to complain, and most struggled with staying on task.

No questions. A little stressed because of the interviews. Haven't been able to interview as many clients as I wanted to but I found people at my job and practicum to interview instead. Scheduling a presentation will be very very complicated. Several of my interviewees are from my job and the rest are from my practicum. My practicum interviewees are always on the road. One week they will be there everyday and the next they're gone for the following week unexpectedly for last minute meetings/work trips out of town. I feel that I might just have to present to people individually because of this but I don't mind

I am feeling pretty stressed out- two deaths in my family have led to a big change in my intended timeframes for coding/transcribing interviews and finishing my last two interviews.  Between time lost due to funeral leave and some really big events at my practicum that have tied up a lot of my time, I am just hoping to get everything turned on in time at this point.  I am presenting to teachers (school social work practicum) during their breaks, so I am less nervous about that part since it will be several small presentations before my scheduled presentation to the school board/administrators.  At least by the time I get to that presentation, I will have everything down really well!

It is a little frustrating because one whole group of stakeholders I need to involve are the doctors.  I was not allowed to interview them nor invite them to the presentation.

I am still working on interviews, as some workers are always in the community. it has been hard getting them all.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm kind of nervous about presenting. I'm addressing communication gaps between staff and consumers, so I don't want it to be awkward when I address the issue with both of them present.

Trying to make adjustments wen some people say they want to participate and then change their mind at the last minute, which makes me scramble to get others to filll their spot.

How do deal with making adjustments to the schedules of people who keep changing their participation schedule.

Rachel Gorlitz                                      No questions here. It has been challenging to get all of the interviews in. As with many non-profit organizations, my agency is understaffed, underpaid, and overworked. They do not have the time to do interviews for an internship project. While they are supportive of my project and want to give input, resources and time constraints have been a considerable barrier. In the future, it may be more effective to have a longer window for this part of the project.

Trying to find creative ways to get the last interview. Finished transcribing and coding, need to organize into chart and synthesize with other student at placement. Worried that evaluation measurement will be turned down (employee satisfaction survey) as it is no secret this agency has a high turn over and poor training. It's impossible to get all practitioners in the same place at the same time so having to make video for presentation.

It has been interesting hearing from both workers and the consumers. Both groups will eventually get to learn a lot about the other.

Finishing up interviews early next week. I have run into issues with scheduling due to the interviewees cancelling and my limited availability at my practicum. I'm finding myself a bit overwhelmed with trying to get everything done efficiently within the short time that I have. However, by doing the interviews I have been able to see situations from multiple different perspectives and make more connections with people at my practicum.

# data[].attributes.body
Almost done with the interviews. Getting ready to figure out how to transcribe video recordings in an efficient manner. I have seen some of the programs available, and none really seem efficient for a 20+ minute interview. Kinda nervous about getting the first paper done one time. My practicum has been supportive, but i really only interact with 8 of the 10 individuals so the remaining interviews are harder to coordinate. Just have to look at the options now for diagramming the information for what I do have.

I'm learning how to present this project in a short time frame that will work for the other practitioners. Many of the practitioners work remotely and only come to the office for brief periods of time or on days they are scheduled to be "in house."

I have FINALLY finished my interviews today and am happy to report that a lot of the feedback supports the EBP research that I found. I am glad that everything lines up, so my proposed Action Plan items should be feasible and helpful to the hospice social work team and end-of-life caregivers.

Sheri Hunt                            Trying to finish synthesis while combating scheduling issues with clinicians and balancing reminding them I NEED this information while trying not to put them off.  Agency supervisor is supportive but hard to reach.

The interviews with the agency stakeholders worked to my advantage as I gained some good information and gained some support for my preliminary action plans. I have not yet transcribed or coded my interviews. If I can't find a good program to help with the transcription process I guess I'm in for a lot of work.

Learning how to present a project despite little support from Agency Supervisor, as well as present findings without being disparaging and spark interest within the agency.

Learning how to speak in a way that is not viewed as abrasive when talking about implementation of other evidence-based practices into the agency.

Learning how to delicately navigate two sides of an agency! Slowly but surely!
