  1. Negotiating conversation and interaction through videoconferencing in speech language therapy: a conversation analytic study DAVID Dalley

  2. Overview of presentation • Background to the research • The current study • Methodology • Analysis • Findings • Discussion and implications • Questions

  3. Background to the research • Health care professional - patient interaction • The practice of medicine and restoration of an individual’s health is intimately associated with the ways in which health care professionals and patients communicate (Heath, 1986). • Speech and language therapy for head and neck cancers • Concerned with the rehabilitation of communication and swallowing abilities resulting from a wide range of health-related problems (Royal College of Speech Language Therapists, n.da) • Telemedicine • Telemedicine represents a valuable resource in order to deliver health-care to individuals and communities in remote locations (Miller, 2003)

  4. The current study • The purpose of the study was to develop understanding of how medical tasks are achieved when using telemedicine videoconferencing in speech and language therapy • extended requests were identified as means by which medical tasks were achieved • The aim of the study was to understand how medical tasks are achieved through extended requests in physical examination sequences during speech language therapy consultations delivered via telemedicine videoconferencing. • The study also examined how different participants in the consultation are involved in achieving extended requests when using telemedicine videoconferencing.

  5. Methodology • Research carried out with Macmillan speech and language therapy service for head and neck cancer patients. • Main telehealth provider linked with 5 hospitals across rural locations in mid wales • 16 naturally occurring consultations spanning 8 hours and 58 minutes of data with. Consultations ranged in duration from 14mins 52 seconds to 58 mins 35 seconds • The data consisted of audio and video recordings • Data was analysed using Conversation analysis and transcribed using the Jefferson transcription system

  6. Conversation analysis • CA is concerned with the systematic analysis of talk • Utterances within interaction can be considered as objects which are drawn upon in order to achieve things, for example a question can be drawn upon to obtain information from a recipient (Hutchby & Wooffitt, 2005) • CA is concerned with the sequential organisation of interaction and turn taking and turn construction

  7. Summary of findings • The initial request was initiated by the specialist speech and language therapist (SSLT) (18/20) • Initial requests projected a course of action informing the recipients of what is required to fulfil the request • Initial requests were framed as collaborative endeavours through the plural pronoun “we” • The fulfilment of the request was taken up by the general speech and language therapist (GSLT) and patient (P). • Recipients engaged in actions of incipient fulfilment (preparatory actions) • Responded through acceptance and fulfilment or immediate extended fulfilment • The GSLT played an integral role in facilitating request making and fulfilling requests.

  10. Switching pronouns

  11. Acknowledging the difficulty in fulfilment

  12. Formats of responding- Extending through problem presentation

  13. Formats of responding- Acceptance and fulfilment

  14. Discussion and implications • Telemedicine presents individuals with novel organisational, technological and situational dilemmas, which are argued to be resolved through collaborative interactional work (Pappas & Seale, 2010) • Through adopting “we” the SSLT includes the patient as an equal in the fulfilment of the requested actions, identified as being a crucial aspect in advocating a relationship centred approach between health-care professionals and patients (Ong,DeHaes, Hoos, & Lammes, 1995) • In the context of telemedicine consultations the GSLT becomes a critical intermediary between the patient and SSLT when achieving medical tasks.
