PSY 211 Module Four Activity Template
In the Module Four Activity Guidelines and Rubric, review the Overview, Scenario, and Prompt sections.
Then answer each of the following questions with a minimum of 2 to 5 sentences. Complete this
template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information.
● Describe which of Kübler-Ross’s stages of grief are most applicable to Jackie’s situation. Explain
your response.
I believe the acceptance stage of grief is most applicable to Jackie’s situation. Jackie understands
that she doesn’t have much time left with her diagnosis, and she is starting to reflect on her past
life choices.
● Explain how a person experiences Kübler-Ross’s stages of grief. Address the following in your
response:
o Does a person move through the stages in a linear fashion?
o What have you read or experienced about grief to support your answer?
A person doesn’t necessarily move through Kubler-Ross’s stages of grief in a linear fashion.
Someone might jump back and forth between stages, they may feel acceptance for a while then
jump back to anger later. Others may skip stages altogether, or experience some stages more
intensely than others. When my brother died unexpectedly I was in denial at first, then as reality
sank in I became angry. As more time went by I entered the bargaining stage, thinking “If only I
had visited or called more often this wouldn’t of happened.” More time passed and I entered a
period of depression, and finally I was able to accept there was nothing I could do to change what
had already happened. Then when the one year anniversary of my brother’s death came around I
felt not only sad, but also angry.
● Explain why having a sense of cultural competence (empathy, respect, self-awareness, cultural
awareness, communication) could help Jamie be a more effective caregiver.
Having a sense of cultural competence could help Jamie be a more effective caregiver because by
showing respect for Jackie’s culture, she will be able to create a sense of trust and safety which
will make Jackie more comfortable and open to receiving care.
● Given your unique needs, desires, and aspirations, describe some things that you feel will provide
you with a sense of life satisfaction as you enter the later stages of the life span.
As I enter the later stages of the life span a deep sense of life satisfaction for me will come from
nurturing meaningful relationships, and maintaining a strong connection with my family and close
friends. I also hope to have a supportive community where I feel valued and and understood, these
things will give my life purpose and joy in my final stages.
