Resources management and promoting good team working are an integral part of risk assessment and management. After looking at the issues surrounding this policy and how it helped in the incident referred to here I would recommend that teams work on strengthening supportive structure to deal with the aftermath. An incident of violence or aggression can be very unnerving even to the most experienced and report and studies still indicate that a lot of incidents are not being reported. In the assignment a study has shown that closer supervision in social work has benefits and strengthening this with nurses will go a long way to support them but also to help in risk
Ineffective Community Coping related to presence of socially deviant, high risk behaviors (such as prostitution and illegal drug activity) and lack of cooperation in a community. One nursing intervention is allowing the client to express negative emotions, verbalize fears, and concerns. Another nursing intervention is assisting the client to identify support services for health care and safety issues. As most people who
The Use of Blooms Taxonomy for Patient Education in the Emergency Department NUR/427 Dorothy Chubbuck September 11, 2011 Heather Flores The Use of Blooms Taxonomy for Patient Education in the Emergency Department Patient education is a key component for the management of many acute and chronic conditions. Presentation to the emergency room for non-urgent care may be some patient’s only point of contact with the healthcare system due to poor access to primary care related to lack of insurance, knowledge deficits and cultural beliefs. (Partridge, 1997). A review of multiple studies revealed that the emergency room may be an underutilized avenue for patient teaching. (Szpiro 2008) The review utilized Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Domains as a framework.
Perhaps Rosenhan was being too hard on psychiatric hospitals, especially when it is important for them to play safe in their diagnosis of abnormality because there is always an outcry when a patient is let out of psychiatric care and gets into trouble. If you were to go to the doctors complaining of stomach aches how would you expect to be treated? Doctors and psychiatrists are more likely to make a type two error (that is, more likely to call a healthy person sick) than a type one error (that is, diagnosing a sick person as healthy) When Rosenhan did his study the psychiatric classification in use was DSM-II. However, since then a new classification has been introduced which was to address itself largely to the whole problem of unreliability - especially unclear criteria. It is argued that
Through this experience, she witnessed firsthand how this disease cripples one physically and mentally. She could draw on this experience and utilize some of this knowledge in her therapy sessions with Andy. She could also use her knowledge about the medical aspects of AIDS to monitor Andy’s progress and help him to eliminate stressors that will make his condition worse. This learner would not have any concerns about this client or her ability to work with him effectively. According to Corey, Corey and Callanan (2011), negative personal reactions, limited empathy and lack of understanding are common characteristics in therapists who work with LGB clients (p.133).
The public health model views mental disorders as the result of malfunctions or pressures created by the environment or by society. This model emphasizes preventing the problem through supporting activities such as use of films, speakers, school programs, and pamphlets, all aimed at educating the population about the problem. Patients are helped outside a residential setting using consultation with family and education of the patient and the family and other community resources. The human service model is concerned with the interaction between the individual and the environment, stressing the need for balance between the two. By the end of the 19th century, the new medical model was based on the assumption that diseases of the soul were completely separate from diseases of the body.
This perspective can also be used to explain phobias. This perspective could help us to understand a service user who has a phobia of needles. Freud would say that the phobia is a symbol of an unconscious problem or past experience in childhood e.g. a patient may have been hurt by a needle or had an awful experience – poking around for a vein. Now they are older and may need blood tests, maybe insulin dependent diabetic - they would need psychoanalysis in the day care centre to get over this phobia We need to be careful not to make assumptions about services users – their behaviour may be due to earlier childhood experiences.
Warning Signs for Five Concepts of Compassion Fatigue Physical Manifestations Compassion fatigue can manifest itself through physical symptoms. Some signs associated with compassion fatigue are weariness, loss of strength, reduced output, diminished performance, loss of endurance, and increased physical complaints such as gastrointestinal complaints, frequent headaches, back pains, hypertension, and insomnia (Coetzee & Klopper, 2010). Illness can lead to increase in sick calls that lead to increase in the work loads of other nurses, which then affects the safety and quality of care the patients receive. Emotional Manifestations Compassion fatigue can also manifest itself through emotional disturbances. Those suffering
It details the issues of how bullying can have huge detrimental effects on staff members. The authors disclose that health care environments that support learning are essential. Workplaces need to be accepting for staff members to engage and learn during practice (Schoonbeek & Henderson, 2011). Learning cannot take place if staff members feel threatened. Workplace bullying is defined as repeated, health harming mistreatment of a worker that includes verbal abuse; offensive conduct that is threatening, humiliating, or intimidating; and/or work sabotage.
In this task I will be exploring the different types of communication available and how vital they are in a health and social care sector. If care practitioners have demonstrate bad communication skills it will have a negative impact on the image of the health sector and also on the service users in terms of not getting the care they need or not getting the right information about the care they are about to receive. In the health and social care profession, effective communication is absolutely vital as it allows health workers to carry out their jobs effectively and also good communication creates a good relationship and a strong bond between care workers and care receivers and also it enables care workers to to effectively carry out their work responsibilities by allowing them to work peacefully and effectively with their colleagues. People who suffer fro communication impairments are at a risk of being unable to effectively communicate with their health care providers which could have a negative impact of their health in form of the type and quality of care that they receive. They are different forms of communication available for example one to one, group, formal, informal, verbal, oral and so on.
