The interviewing skill I could not have done. I did not tell the candidate that will be interviewed as what. According to Keller and Conradin (n.d.) It is important to tell the candidate that she/he will be interviewed as what for example as an expert or as a representative of a group of people. Also because the semi-structured interview more flexible I did not study the interview plan. According to Laforest (2009) even though semi-structured interviews are flexible, they require rigorous preparation. It is essential to study interview plan decide which questions are most appropriate or prepare new ones.
In conclusion, many researchers like to use semi-structured interviews because questions can be prepared ahead of time. This allows the interviewer to be prepared and appear competent during the interview. Semi-structured interviews also allow informants the freedom to express their views in their own terms.

The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework defines an occupational profile as “the initial step in the evaluation process that provides an understanding of the client’s occupational history and experience, patterns of daily living, interests, values, and needs (2014).” During this process the client’s problems and concerns about daily occupations are identified then the client’s main concerns are determined (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2014). Occupational Therapists strive to be holistic and client-centered, and the occupational profile is one method to ensure treatment takes on these characteristics. During the occupational profile the clients share their priorities based on what is important to them, and the therapist
The wording of a question may lead you to believe information that is not true, because it may be incorporated in our memory, this is called a false memory. Because a person cannot remember every detail in a situation, they have to rebuild their memory with subsequent information, this being either through prior experience or influenced memory. Open and close ended questions are important in interviewing, but each should be used at a specific time in an interview. Open ended questions should be to gather information and closed ended questions should be manipulated to confirm information. The start of an interview is when open ended questions should be used. This is because open ended questions help recall information and provide triggers for witnesses. Through open ended questions, the mass of information is given throughout the interview process. Close ended questions should be

Participants had to meet certain criteria. They set up an interview day with the first hour being the section of the workshop that contained personal results such as scores on lower body strength and problem solving. Next they attended three 30-minute sessions that gave them information on topics such as nutrition and stress management. There were a group of participants that participated in the actual interview. They were taken to a private room where they sat at a table. Questions were asked and the person being interviewed would respond with an answer. The interview started with questions such as how life was living with FM and then questions became more detailed such as how to maintain

Interviewing is a procedure which recounts to a controlled situation in which one person asks a chain of questions to another person, relating to a specific field (Sommers-Flanagan and Sommers-Flanagan, 2008, p. 18). Interviewing skills are pivotal in making an interview more effective, as it is an overall judgement of candidate’s capabilities (Interviewing skills, 2002, p. 8). The process of Interviewing is divided into five phases i.e. Introduction, opening, body, closing, and termination (Sommers-Flanagan and Sommers-Flanagan, 2008, p. 144). According to Sommers-Flanagan and Sommers-Flanagan (2008, p. 145-154), introduction also named “initiation”, is the initial phase in which the interviewer explains his role, confidentiality policy, rules and regulations, and the purpose of the meeting. Also a person is put at ease and a short informal talk, develops a therapeutical relationship. Then the opening commences with the first question which is more about the person’s current concern (Sommers-Flanagan and Sommers-Flanagan, 2008, p. 154-160). The body or “exploration” phase is the main section of interview as major information regarding the ...

This is designed as an evaluation of a client’s occupational adaption. It consists of a semi-structured interview, in contrast to the COPM which is quite unstructured, a rating scale and a summary form. Kielhofner, (2008) stated that the OCAIRS is conceptually based on the model of human occupation, and, accordingly, the areas it covers corresponds to concepts from the model. It provides a structure for gathering, analysing and reporting data on the extent and nature of a person’s occupational participation, as opposed to ‘occupational performance’ in the COPM. (Fox, J. 2014) According to Bryant, Fieldhouse and Bannigan (2014, p.431) this assessment provides insight into an individual’s level of motivation and how empowered they feel to be an active participant in their treatment pathways. From my experience of interviewing using this model, I realise that it concentrates mainly on the occupational participation of people in their roles, habits, personal causation, values and contexts, meaning that it elicits more personal information than the COPM. I was mindful of this before starting the
model starts with the first stage, Preparation and Planning. During this stage, the interviewer looks at how any information gained from the current interview could be used to strengthen the ongoing investigation. Learning about the suspect and making a list on the objectives of the investigation are a necessity to conduct the interview. A timeline of events is erected relating to the offense that is under investigation and that timeline is used to develop a questioning plan based on the existing evidence. Following the first stage, the interviewer would then start the engage and explain stage. In this two part stage, the interviewer starts out by engaging the suspect by relaying to him/her how the interview will take place. In attempts to establish rapport, the interviewer will converse with subject by conducting themselves in a professional and personable manner. The interviewer makes sure that the suspect understands the reason and purpose for the interview, explaining also how the interview is expected to progress and stresses the ground rules and expectations of the interview. The third step then follows
