Hello everyone,
Last week was an experienced of "massive" confusion for me. I'm sure all of us have experienced a week or a day in our lives where everything seem to be happening at once. Well, last week was that week for me and my family. My husband and I had the task of juggling moving to our new home, starting school for me, and taking care of our 2 1/2 year old little girl. Now, everyone is probably wondering how is this related to health communication? Well, it so happen that my daughter's immunization appointment was scheduled the same week! With the week being so "crazy" I had forgotten to "communicate" to my husband that he needed to bring my daughter to see the doctor since, due to poor planning on my part, her appointment was the same time as my PH668 class! So basicallyI feel that last week, I did not do well in my "communication" to my husband about my daughters required immunization which is important in maintaining her "health". Maybe if I could have utilized other "media/medium" of communication other than just writing the appointment in my personal calendar...perhaps the appointment might not have been missed! Perhaps I could have utilized a community calendar for my family easily seen by everyone (including me) posted in the kitchen area? Or perhaps I could have used a posted note on the refrigerator? In relating my experience to our class discussion, we have to use more than one strategy to make health communication successful.
See you all next Monday,
Maria
