SMART Goals Evaluation
Think back to the five SMART goals you created earlier in the term. Write a reflection paper following APA format and consisting of 750-1000 words in length. Then, create a 5–7-minute reflection video using the word document which evaluates each SMART goal that you created. Use Teams, Zoom, or Canvas Studio's Screen Capture feature to record your presentation. Your face must be visible on camera (in the corner as you present your paper). You must introduce yourself and show your identification. You must dress professionally or your presentation will not be graded.
Use the following questions to guide your response:
1. What were you expecting from the experience before you started?
2. Why were you expecting this?
3. Why did you choose this goal?
4. Did you learn anything about a different group in society (i.e., different age, profession, ethnic, racial or socio-economic group)? What did you learn?
5. What is the most valuable experience you acquired?
6. What impact did the experience have on your everyday life?
7. What did you learn that was directly related to your course objectives?

Goal 1: Enhance Ability to Learn and Prescribe Psychiatric Medications
Specific: Complete a psychiatric medication review course and apply this knowledge in five clinical cases weekly, ensuring prescriptions align with the latest evidence-based guidelines.
Measurable: Track the number of cases where psychiatric medications are prescribed, aiming for 90% accuracy in clinical applications.
This objective aims to improve the prescribing of psychiatric medication. Precisely, I will be taking a course on the review of psychiatric medications and then applying what was learned to five cases per week in the clinics. I will keep track of the number of cases in which medications are prescribed with the aim of attaining 90% of cases rightly matching the evidence-based guidelines. This intention is realistic: prescribing medication is the core of PMHNP practice, and managing five cases on a weekly basis is quite achievable. I will be able to achieve this goal in 8 weeks; in this time, I will be able to combine theoretical classes with practical work in the clinic.
3
Goal 1: Enhance Ability to Learn and Prescribe Psychiatric Medications
Achievable: Use course materials and seek guidance from supervisors on complex cases to ensure successful integration of knowledge.
Realistic: As prescribing medications is a routine part of PMHNP responsibilities, applying knowledge to five cases per week is manageable.
Timely: This goal will be achieved within 8 weeks, allowing sufficient time for both coursework and clinical applications.

Goal 2: Improve Skills in Diagnosing Psychiatric Conditions
Specific: Review DSM-5 criteria weekly to enhance diagnostic accuracy in clinical assessments, aiming to diagnose 10 patients with a 95% accuracy rate.
Measurable: Track the number of patient diagnoses and the accuracy rate for each, ensuring continuous improvement.
For this goal, I plan to improve my performance of the DSM-5 criteria for weekly review and use this knowledge to make diagnoses of ten patients with 95 percent accuracy. Another way I will monitor advancement is by keeping a record of the diagnosis I make and comparing it to reality later on. This is achievable as I can occasionally refer to the DSM-5 and also attend clinical workshops to enhance my knowledge. This goal should be accomplished within 6 weeks; therefore, I will set time each week to achieve this goal and make it applicable to my PMHNP development.
5
Goal 2: Improve Skills in Diagnosing Psychiatric Conditions
Achievable: Utilize DSM-5 resources and attend clinical workshops to support diagnostic skills (Farrell, 2023).
Realistic: Given the clinical caseload, diagnosing 10 patients within 6 weeks is achievable through focused learning and practice.
Timely: Set a deadline of 6 weeks to reach a 95% diagnostic accuracy, with weekly reviews of progress.
6
Goal 3: Increase Proficiency in Managing Psychiatric Emergencies
Specific: Handle three psychiatric emergencies during the term, using de-escalation techniques learned in training, and document each scenario for review.
Measurable: Track the number of psychiatric crises managed, and obtain supervisor feedback on the effectiveness of the de-escalation techniques used (Celofiga et al., 2022).
The first aim of this goal is directly related to managing psychiatric crises better through the use of de-escalation. I will have first-hand experience in handling at least three psychiatric emergencies, as shall be described in my performance of skills attained during training and simulations. I will also maintain records of each case to present them to my supervisors for their assessment, thus serving as my measuring stick. It is doable because crisis management is a routine part of PMHNP practice, and I stand to benefit from several such opportunities within the term. At the end of the term, I shall have attained mastery of how to handle emergencies.
7
Goal 3: Increase Proficiency in Managing Psychiatric Emergencies
Achievable: Prepare through role-playing and simulation training, and seek guidance from experienced colleagues.
Realistic: Encountering and managing three psychiatric emergencies during the term is a common and realistic expectation in a clinical setting.
Timely: This goal will be completed by the end of the term, with each crisis situation documented for feedback and learning.
8
Goal 4: Strengthen Teamwork Skills in Multidisciplinary Settings
Specific: Participate in at least two multidisciplinary case conferences by the fifth week of the term, contributing to treatment planning and team collaboration.
Measurable: Track attendance at case conferences and the number of meaningful contributions to treatment planning discussions.
To enhance my collaboration skills, I will attend two multidisciplinary case conferences by the fifth week of the term. In these conferences, I will contribute to treatment planning discussions. I will monitor how many conferences I attend and the impact of my contributory role in them. This is a realistic goal because attending case conferences is a common PMHNP practice. I will improve my teamwork skills by interacting with other health professionals. It is possible for me to accomplish the goal within the next five weeks since I will be in a position to improve my abilities to work well with others.
9
Goal 4: Strengthen Teamwork Skills in Multidisciplinary Settings
Achievable: Engaging in multidisciplinary collaboration is a key component of PMHNP practice, making this goal attainable with active participation (Dusseldorp et al., 2023).
Realistic: Given the frequency of case conferences, participating in two within five weeks is a reasonable and manageable goal.
Timely: This goal will be achieved within the first five weeks, ensuring the opportunity to build teamwork skills early in the term.
10
Goal 5: Expand Knowledge of Alternative Therapies in Psychiatric Care
Specific: Research and present two non-pharmacological interventions to the clinical team by the end of the term to expand knowledge of alternative therapies.
Measurable: Measure progress through the completion of research and the delivery of a presentation to the clinical team.
In this goal, I will expand my knowledge about non-pharmacological interventions by researching two alternative therapies and presenting them to the clinical team. I will carry out the research and make the presentation at the end of the term, which should give me adequate time to research the therapies effectively. This presentation will also provide me with the opportunity to assess whether my learning has taken place, informing the team as I intended. The goal of treating a patient as a whole fits into current trends of holistic psychiatric care, and because of that, it's also quite a realistic target for my professional growth as a PMHNP.
11
Goal 5: Expand Knowledge of Alternative Therapies in Psychiatric Care
Achievable: Researching two alternative therapies is manageable within the term, allowing for thorough investigation and preparation for the presentation.
Realistic: Exploring non-pharmacological interventions aligns with the growing emphasis on holistic psychiatric care, making this a relevant and realistic goal (Zhang et al., 2024).
Timely: This goal is time-bound, with the presentation scheduled for the end of the term, providing ample time for research and preparation.
