IS THERE ANYTHING I NEED TO DO BEFORE CONDUCTING THE INTERVIEW?
Determine whether the resident you are about to interview needs a hearing device and if so, whether the device is available. When we conduct interviews, we arrive prepared to offer residents the use of amplifying earphones (available from most electronic stores).
Also, find out whether the resident has any particular needs (e.g., has difficulty speaking) or personality characteristics that might affect participation in the interview (e.g., is shy or withdrawn). Find out about the resident's background and current family situation. Then use this information to approach him or her.
