1 Module 4 Figure 13: Tips for Using Role Play Exercises Role playing can provide a beneficial educational exercise by allowing persons the opportunity to practice communication skills and techniques in a safe environment. It can also be used to demonstrate and practice the skills needed for performing assessments, conducting care planning sessions, orchestrating family meetings, or giving bad news. Communication is key to good palliative care and the necessary skills can be enhanced via training and practice opportunities. Reasons to use role play include: - connecting content to application - putting a human face on concepts - building confidence and skills - encouraging critical thinking - gaining empathy into the feelings of clients and practitioners - practicing important skills prior to actual encounters - energizing the teaching environment - increasing student confidence and assertiveness. Role plays enable participants to define problems, develop solutions, try out new behaviors, and get feedback from their peers. Yet, participants initial reactions to the idea of a role play may be fear, intimidation, ambivalence or total negativity. Such responses are often due to past experiences in which role playing was not well orchestrated. When you chose to use role play as a teaching technique, it is essential that you as facilitator are prepared and organized. Here are some tips related to preparation, execution, and evaluation of role plays: 1. Preparation/Setting the Stage - Always know your purpose for using a role play. What skills are you trying to teach or reinforce? What do you hope will be the outcomes of the exercise? - Provide any necessary instruction prior to the role play. Role plays are for practicing, not learning, new behaviors or techniques. - Communicate your teaching purpose to your participants. - Create a safe, relaxed environment. Let participants know that perfection is not expected but rather this is an opportunity to rehearse important skills prior to actual interactions. Don t force anyone to participate, and offer the option to opt out at any time during the process. Performing a role play yourself may help put the group at ease. - Make the role play realistic to the situations the participants will face. Use actual clinical examples whenever possible. - Set the stage. Give clear instructions to the participants and adequate description of the scenario and players. - Don t ask participants to role play an attitude without giving them background information. For instance, instead of just describing the role as an angry family member include information about the reason for the person s anger (i.e., he wasn t informed when his mother was moved into another room at the nursing home). ELNEC-Geriatric Curriculum Module 4: Goals of Care and Ethical Issues at End of Life Page M4-1
2 - If you have used the role play before, think about how it went and make improvements if indicated. - Prepare participants by emphasizing the importance of social interactions for learning. Acknowledge that role playing may be difficult at times but the potential benefits are worthy. 2. Execution - Be enthusiastic about the experience! - Ask for volunteers. - Be constantly mindful of the responses and behaviors of the participants and intervene if someone is having difficulty. Immediately address problems or feelings in a supportive manner. Never embarrass or criticize a participant. - Using name tags or props to identify the persons in the scenario may help persons to assume the identity of the role they are playing and help the audience to keep the players straight. - Feel free to use time out when the role play is becoming too emotional, is floundering or is not going in the direction you had hoped. Just taking a break may help, but it might also be a good time to move to evaluation. - Set a time limit. Using a timer may help keep participants on task. Role plays that are allowed to go on and on are generally not useful. Five to ten minutes is usually long enough; it is preferable to break longer scenarios into smaller scenes so that the group maintains focus. - Allow the participants to ask for help from the audience if they get stuck. Or assign the participant a partner who they can ask for help during the role play. - Give everyone an equal opportunity to participate but don t force participation. - Emphasize the role and contribution of each participant including the observer. Explain all roles before the start of the role play. - Fun is allowed but making fun or ridiculing someone is not. - Respect the privacy of the participants and remind participants not to share information outside of the group. 3. Evaluation - Evaluation and discussion is essential. Discussion should be tied to the original objectives for the role play. Allow sufficient time for this part of the experience. - Feedback should be immediate, specific, relevant, and achievable. - Encourage constructive rather than destructive criticism. - Ask the actors to comment first on the role play first. Start with the person in the hot seat. It is much less threatening to evaluate oneself than to accept the criticisms of other, and often the main players are very aware of what went well and what could have been done better. - Focus on positives first (what went well) during the evaluative stage. Reframe criticisms as opportunities for improvement. - If appropriate, re-enact the role play. - Close the role playing session by summarizing the experience.

4 Module 4 Figure 14: Progressive Role Play Progressive Role Play Time Needed: 1 hour Moderator: ELNEC-Geriatric Faculty. Acts as timekeeper, assigns the roles, and facilitate the discussion. All other roles: Played by participants in the group. Co-Moderator: Acts as back-up timekeeper; assists in facilitation of discussion; keeps track of key discussion points for each scene. Rules: Each actor can use one lifeline per scene. To use a lifeline the actor calls time and can ask participants for a line (meaning a suggestion as to what to say or do in the situation). Scene 1 Place: Happy Valley Nursing Home Time: 20 minutes for role-play and discussion of this scene. Randall Jones (son): Angry, questions staff (nurses) regarding the care provided to his mother in the nursing home and wants acute care provided. Betsy Smith (RN): Head nurse at Happy Valley Nursing Home who is familiar with Mrs. Jones care and her wishes. Tries to explain to the son Randall Jones his mother s wishes. Situation (read by moderator): Mrs. Myrtle Jones, age 92 and widowed, has been a resident of the nursing home for two years. Her past medical history includes a MI, stroke, fractured hip and diabetes. Her primary caregiver has been her daughter Jane who lives nearby. Jane was diagnosed with breast cancer one month ago and is beginning chemotherapy and last week Mrs. Jones suffered another stroke leaving her unable to walk and with minimal ability to swallow. Jane has called her brother Randall to come from Ohio as she is too overwhelmed with her own illness to continue caring for her mother. Randall arrives at the nursing home, having not seen his mother in two years since his father s funeral. He is shocked at his mother s status and angrily approaches the nurse on duty saying What are you people thinking? My mom is starving to death! Why don t you send her to the hospital? Mrs. Jones has an advanced directive on file requesting no life prolonging ELNEC-Geriatric Curriculum Module 4: Goals of Care and Ethical Issues at End of Life Page M4-4
5 treatment and a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care naming her daughter Jane as her proxy decision maker. Post-Scene Discussion Questions: 1. What did the nurse say and do to respond to Randall? 2. What factors may be influencing Randall s response? 3. What should be done next? Place: Nursing home conference room Time: 25 minutes for role play and discussion Scene 2 Randall Jones (son): Uncomfortable about not instituting tube feedings for his mother. Betsy Smith (RN): Gathers family together to discuss Mrs. Jones goals for care. Joe Garcia (nursing assistant): Familiar with Mrs. Jones care as he has been taking care of her for the last couple of years. Tries to voice his concerns regarding Mrs. Jones wishes of not prolonging life. Jane Jones (daughter): Angry at her brother; yet she feels bad as she asked him to intervene as she herself has concerns with her breast cancer. Dr. Wartman (medical director): Explains goals of Mrs. Jones care. Scene: The next day. Betsy Smith, RN has arranged a family meeting to discuss Mrs. Jones care. In attendance are Randall (son), Joe Garcia (nursing assistant), Jane (daughter) and Dr. Wartman, the medical director. Randall remains very skeptical and uncomfortable with the plan to not initiate tube feedings. He also suggests they at least start some physical therapy like when she had her hip fracture. Joe, the NA, shares his thoughts about Mrs. Jones and their many conversations where Mrs. Jones voiced her wish to not have her life prolonged like the poor souls in here just hanging on but not living. Jane seems angry at her brother and otherwise overwhelmed with her own circumstances. Dr. Wartman attempts to explain the goals of care. Post-Scene Discussion Questions: 1. What was the purpose of attending a family conference? 2. What role did the NA play? 3. How can nursing home staff best respond to family members with conflicting goals? ELNEC-Geriatric Curriculum Module 4: Goals of Care and Ethical Issues at End of Life Page M4-5
6 Scene 3 Place: Nursing home conference room Time: 15 minutes for role-play and discussion Randall Jones (son): Agrees to consent to hospice care for his mother but wondering if this is the right decision. Betsy Smith(RN): Gathers the family/staff together to explain hospice and end-of-life care for Mrs. Jones. Joe Garcia (nursing assistant): Fears that someone else will intervene and take over Mrs. Jones care, since he feels he has been the primary caregiver at the nursing home for the last two years. Jane Jones (daughter): Emotional, scared of losing her mother and possibly being unable to face her own future. Pamela (hospice nurse): To explain hospice care to family and staff. Scene: At the family conference, Dr. Wartman suggested that hospice be asked to consult with the nursing home on Mrs. Jones care. Dr. Wartman s best estimate is that Mrs. Jones will die in 2-3 weeks as she is slowly declining but still consuming small amounts of liquids. Randall (son) and Jane (daughter) have now come to the nursing home to meet with Pamela (the hospice nurse). Randall is more accepting but questions if he is doing the right thing in his role as the son and as a good Catholic. Jane becomes emotional, finally facing the reality of her mother s impending death and fearing for her own future. Joe, the nursing assistant, questions what his role will be if Mrs. Jones is seen by hospice and admits his own grief as he has become close to Mrs. Jones. Post-Scene Discussion Questions: 1. What did the hospice nurse say or do that was helpful? 2. What significance does initiating hospice have for Mrs. Jones children? 3. Why has Joe reacted to Mrs. Jones decline and hospice admission?
