A) Description of the model Structural Components Concepts. The concepts of the Circle of Caring Model are based on both traditional medical model concepts (Figure 2) include “a subjective and objective database”, “a labeling of the patient problem/response”, “a therapeutic plan”, and “an evaluation of the outcome”, as well as the traditional nursing model concepts (Figure 3) namely, “assessment”, “planning”, “intervention”, and “evaluation” with a feedback loop (Dunphy & Winland-Brown, 2006). Because the Circle of Caring Model is a
Determinants in Health American InterContinental University IP1 Marcia Hunter Discuss ways in which health can be conceptualized When it comes to the idea of the conceptualized of health in different parts of society it is surprisingly very similar among people. This can be proved through historical references, records and updated data provides by research and word of mouth. Take for example the US and its definition of health, there seems to be a shift in patient doctor relationship away from a paternalistic view to a gentler partner team based value. The meaning of health is simply a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (Health, 2012). What are the determinants of health in humans.
I will then use different sociological perspectives, to discuss and evaluate patterns and trends of health and illness in two different social groups. Measuring health The health of individuals varies according to socio-economic characteristics reflecting, at least in part, different exposures to factors that influence health. Since populations comprise groups of individuals, and these groups tend not to be random, e.g. groups defined by geography or on the basis of occupation, there are differences between the health of different population. Statistical trends in the levels of health and illness are generated from three main sources: Government statistics The Office for National Statistics is the executive office of the UK Statistics Authority, a non-ministerial
Unit 7 P2 and M1- Explain different sociological approaches to health and ill-health in 800-1000 words: Many sociologists use health care and ill-health as examples of their theories. Sociologists often use health care due to the rapid changes in the health care system and society’s perception of illness. National statistics allow them to illustrate their theories with clearly defined data. The WHO’s definition of health is; ‘not merely an absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being’ (World Health Organisation 1974). Although, many sociologists engage in conflict when deciding on a definition of ‘healthy’ they tend to predominantly agree with the WHO’s definition.
The Influence of The Structural Factor of Socio-Economic class on Health “Social class or socioeconomic status is the strongest predictor of health, disease causation and longevity in medical sociology” (Giddens & Sutton 2009 pg 407). This essay aims to explore the influence of the structural factor of socio economic class on health. It will begin with the previously used model known as The Registrar Generals Classification System (Giddens 2009) and then today’s current model known as The Socioeconomic Classification System (Giddens 2009). It will discuss how social class shapes our lives as well as our, environment, educational needs, living and working conditions which all contribute to health (Graham 2007). It will touch on sociological theories and key reports such as The Black Report (1980), The Health Divide (1987), The Acheson Report (1998) and The Marmot Report (2010) these will explain the impact of what does influence health and why.
Unit IV Epidemiology - “epi” – on,upon, befall - “demo” – people, population, man -“ology” – study of -The study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states in specified populations and the application of this study to control health problems. What is it? *Quantitative discipline based on the principles of research methodology and statistics. *Have made a significant contribution to the identification of risk factor *Distribution – how are cases of the condition of interest spread across a population differently by gender,age,geographic location, socio economic status, other features? *Determinants – what risk factors or antecedent events are associated with the appearance of a disease or condition?
The aim of this essay will be to explore these theories and relate them to my case study. Functionalism is significant within Health and Social care and relates to my case study specifically in that, a Functionalist would look at a situation or person and determine the purpose of their role, how different parts of the social system will be maintained, if the person's role suddenly changed due to ill health, how this would affect them, as well as society. (Crossman A, 2013).Emile Durkheim was one of the first theorists to study the sociological perspective which we know as Functionalism. It was suggested that, ‘Societies or social systems work like organic systems: they are made up of structures of cultural rules (established practices and beliefs, for instance) and people are expected to conform to them’ (Marsh I et al, 2009). According to Talcott Parsons who was also a
Determine three patient safety issues that are being addressed by your health care organization. Identify the actions the organization is taking or identify three issues that you think need to be addressed by health care organizations. Make suggestion for actions to be taken. Support your responses with two peer-reviewed references. HLT 308V Week 4 DQ 2 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), and The Joint Commission (TJC) have identified the necessity for health care organizations to have a risk management program to address infection control.
These make up the 3 elements of health. A health continuum is a graphic repartition of our health that can change over time. A health triangle show the balance of ones health the components like mentally, physically, and social. Having a strong self esteem is necessary to get through your day. A self esteem is how much a person likes, accepts, and respects himself overall as a person, and it is formed by doing something
UHN tackle such issues as: 1. economic and social marginalization of inhabitants 2. disparate access and use of healthcare systems 3. higher mortality rates from an array of acute and chronic diseases 4. Higher rate of morbidity from preventable diseases (Schim, Benkert, Bell, Walker, & Danford, 2007; pg. 74) Based on these issues UHN deems it necessary to incorporate social justice into the traditional nursing metaparadigm. Social justice in an aspect that is currently not in the profession of nursing. Social justice envisions a society that is equal in all matters to create physical and psychological safety.
