Dutch term

hulpvraag

Dutch to English Medical Medical: Health Care
'Als de patiënt antwoord geeft zal het meestal nodig zijn dat de behandelaar vervolgens de bekende hulpvraag gebruikt:'

Does anyone have a clever English translation of the word 'hulpvraag,' in this context?

Alvast bedankt!

Hmm.3 Thanks Wanda, I think your suggested 'exploratory prompts' is also very good. For contextual reasons in my text I am going to go with 'guiding questions,' however, 'exploratory prompts', 'prompting questions,' & 'additional question,' are all good translations of the Dutch term 'hulpvraag,' in different contexts.
Wanda Boeke Apr 28, 2009:
exploratory prompts Maybe something like 'exploratory prompts' - the therapist will have to use exploratory prompts [true, less literal, but perhaps carries more meaning]
Michael Beijer (asker) Apr 28, 2009:
Guiding question Yes, I think I am going to use 'guiding question,' for the reasons Max just indicated. If someone would submit it as an answer, I will choose and gloss it.

Thanks everyone!

guiding I like 'guiding question' because of the therapist's tactics of guiding the patient towards important points. The patient can lean on the therapist. Prompting question would also do, but perhaps it is not that common and focuses more on pushing the patient to reach a conclusion faster, rather than assisting him or her in freely exploring possible answers.
Chris Hopley Apr 28, 2009:
prompt 'Prompting question' seems correct to me.
Michael Beijer (asker) Apr 28, 2009:
Hmm.2 And how about 'prompting questions'? I think I like this the most so far. See: http://images.rbs.org/assessment/questioning.shtml
Chris Hopley Apr 28, 2009:
open question? Are hulpvragen in this context always open questions?

Cf.: http://changingminds.org/techniques/questioning/open_closed_...

Open questions have the following characteristics:

They ask the respondent to think and reflect.
They will give you opinions and feelings.
They hand control of the conversation to the respondent
Michael Beijer (asker) Apr 28, 2009:
Hmm I was actually kind of thinking of using 'guiding question,' or even perhaps 'help question,' as they consist of questions that the therapist uses regularly in order to guide the conversation.
In the text, these are examples of hulpvragen: “Wat zegt dat over jou?” + “Hoe noem je zo iemand?”

guiding question

"Taken from: Traver, R. (March, 1998). What is a good guiding question? Educational Leadership, p. 70-73.

DEFINITION: "A guiding question is the fundamental query that directs the search for understanding. Everything in the curriculum is studied for the purpose of answering it." Guiding questions help provide focus and coherence for units of study.

CHARACTERISTICS:

Good guiding questions are open-ended yet focus inquiry on a specific topic.
Guiding questions are non-judgmental, but answering them requires high-level cognitive work.
Good guiding questions contain emotive force and intellectual bite.
Guiding questions are succinct. They contain few words but demand a lot."
http://academic.evergreen.edu/w/waltonsl/Gquestions.htm

"A key component missing from curriculum design is the guiding question--the fundamental query directing the search for understanding. Such questions are neither leading nor generic but are succinct, nonjudgmental, topically focused, and contain emotional force and intellectual bite."

additional question

How about this?

"Those who did not desire or seek care were asked for their reasons. There were additional questions about PTSD symptoms and health correlates; these will be reported on in an article that focuses on determinants of PTSD."
