Day 1

Anxiety about facilitator communication

9

I worried about evaluation by others and appearance and I thought I had to do it well, which made me passive at first. I tried to do it without the fear of failure, and I learned a lot.

Day 1

Understanding of the procedures of role-play learning

7

I was able to have a satisfying time. It was good that I could actually watch and learn how the lecturer brought up a subject in the role playing at the end of the course.

Day 1

Others

4

I felt that both the lectures and role playing were beneficial for obtaining a deeper understanding of facilitator intervention skills.

Day 2

Repeated role-playing increases learning

3

We were able to have active discussions in the group on day 2, and this was good for me because I could feel that I learned spontaneously. In addition, I could ask the lecturer about what I did not understand and coping methods, and repeated role-plays of the same situation led me to think.

Day 2

Discovery of specific facilitator strategies

11

t is important how to let participants know the theme and how to create an atmosphere. It is necessary for facilitators to understand the theme and purpose of the session, and cooperation of the facilitator and sub-facilitator is required. It is important to stay with the patients and think with them.

Day 2

Discovery of problems towards the implementation of facilitation

7

Through the facilitator experience, I found future problems such as whether I would successfully stay with the patient from the patient’s point of view, eye movements, how to speak and the tone of voice.

Day 2

Use in clinical nursing, etc.

2

I would like to utilize what I learnt in the group work for two days in my daily nursing practice.

Day 2

Others

4

I became sleepy during the last lecture, because we practiced relaxation before the last lecture. It would have been better to perform the relaxation exercise after the lecture.

Thank you very much.
