Abstract
Effective communication between healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients is a key factor in medicine. This is particularly the case in emergency care. This article looks at how HCPs provide accounts of medical procedures to patients in emergency care scenarios, using video data of four training sessions, two conducted with simulated patients and two with a manikin. A comparison between these two types of simulation shows how HCPs give accounts in both modalities, which will eventually inform what modality to use for training HCPs with different learning aims. The practices of HCPs' giving accounts to a patient in emergency care training in the UK were analysed, using a corpus-driven discourse analysis. From the analysis, separate account sequences are identified: (1) HCPs' proposal of medical procedures to a patient; (2) HCPs' accounting of the procedure to a patient; and (3) acceptance or rejection by a patient. HCPs' accounting practices were observed in both cases but used less in the scenario with a manikin.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Linguistics and Professional Practice was launched in 2004 (under the title Journal of Applied Linguistics) with the aim of advancing research and practice in applied linguistics as a principled and interdisciplinary endeavour. From Volume 7, the journal adopted the new title to reflect the continuation, expansion and re-specification of the field of applied linguistics as originally conceived. Moving away from a primary focus on research into language teaching/learning and second language acquisition, the education profession will remain a key site but one among many, with an active engagement of the journal moving to sites from a variety of other professional domains such as law, healthcare, counselling, journalism, business interpreting and translating, where applied linguists have major contributions to make. Accordingly, under the new title, the journal will reflexively foreground applied linguistics as professional practice. As before, each volume will contain a selection of special features such as editorials, specialist conversations, debates and dialogues on specific methodological themes, review articles, research notes and targeted special issues addressing key themes.
