Analyse the relationship between a professional/occupational group and a service-user group with a protected characteristic

TIPS FOR ASSIGNMENT 2 – ASS066-1 UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN SERVICES

You are still organised in groups for Assignment 2. You must email me until the XX of XX if you do not have a group to work with. I will not be responsible for including you in a group after this date, and you will have to find someone to work with.

After having decided on a service-user group and on the professions/occupations you are going to work on, each of you will do an individual audio-video presentation.

In planning and organising your individual audio-video presentation, each of you is required to do the following:

  • Outline the needs of a service-user group with a protected characteristic
  • Has the service-user group selected increased over time? If yes, why?
  • To what extent has/can the service-user group selected been/be discriminated?
  • Account for the role and main duties, responsibilities and tasks of the profession/occupation you have chosen, and the difficulties/frustrations and the eases/joys it has encountered, in developing a response to those needs – answer the following questions:
  • How do the needs of a service-user group with a protected characteristic are met by your professional group?
  • What are the main duties/responsibilities of the professional group involved?
  • What have the main challenges in dealing with this service-user group been?
  • What arrangements would you have for improving equality and diversity?
  • Analyse the relationship between a professional/occupational group and a service-user group with a protected characteristic
  • Under which circumstances would you have contact with the service user group?
  • What services would you/are you be able to offer the service user group?
  • What specifically can you offer the service user group in respect of their protected characteristic?
  • Do you think that your service is effective in supporting the service user group in respect of their protected characteristic? If yes, why? If not, why?
  • What evidence do you have to support this? If not, what would you recommend?
  • An analysis of relevant policy and legislation of your service-user group with a protected characteristic, assessing whether they are meeting the needs of your chosen service-user group.
  • How do existing policy and legislation protect vulnerable service user groups from being discriminated?
  • Does existing policy protect the needs of your service-user group?
  • Is there any guidance from your professional body on how to deal with this service user group or with service user groups with protected characteristics?
  • Provide at least one recommendation as to how the professional role performed by each of you could further be developed in relation to your service-user group.
  • How could the relationship between the professional/occupational group and the service user group be improved? What measures could be taken to improve the services provided?
  • Account for the benefits and challenges of working inter-professionally with the other team workers.
  • How do you make sure the team is efficient in meeting the needs of the service-user group chosen?
  • What are the considerations regarding informed consent and the passing on of information to other professionals in your team you need to consider for your service-user group?
  • Write your Individual Reflective Account (500 words) – use the template provided on BREO
  • You are encouraged to use the 1st person as you are reflecting on your own experience

Notes:

  • You do not need to choose the same occupational/professional group chosen for Assignment 1.
  • This assignment is about the relationship between different professionals and a service-user group with a protected characteristic and NOT an individual case study.
  • Although you still work within a group, you will film your oral presentation individually, focusing on the relationship between your chosen professional group and the service-user group.
  • You will upload your audio-video oral presentation on BREO as usual (a submission box for this has been set up) or you can alternatively upload it to Panopto (PanoptoVideos and Content (the very last Folder) > Click twice on the Folder ‘Assignment 2 – Individual Audio-Video Presentations [assignments]’ > Click ‘Create’ > Upload Media > click to find on your computer > upload your file)
  • Overall, a minimum of 5 references (3 must be academic sources). It is 5 references (three must be academic) overall, including the ones used in your Individual Audio-Video Presentation and in your Individual Reflective Account
  • Please make sure you state your name/student number/group number at the start of your presentation
  • Please name your Video File with your Group Number and your Student Number if possible
  • Each of you should upload the video file individually
  • It is a video file, and not an audio file – this means that you need to appear in the video
  • Each of you should use a minimum of 5 references (three must be academic)
  • You MUST insert the references you used in your Audio-Video Presentation in the List of References of your Reflective Account.
  • If you are using Powerpoint Slides, you should insert a last slide with the references used to do your Presentation.
  • Please use the template for your Individual Reflective Account uploaded in the Assessment & Feedback Folder

 

Determine the Need for a Public Health Intervention

HERE IS PROFESSOR TYTEL QUESTION: When it comes to the issue you described, there are many significant factors that can be addressed to make a difference. Within the scope of your Capstone project, what would be a reasonable and achievable place to start and why?

HERE IS MY POST:

The Characteristics of a Problem of Not Adhering to Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors and Healthy Diet Plans Developed by Nutritionists and Dietitians

Life expectancy is continuously increasing in developed and developing countries. “605 million persons, (20%) are currently aged ≥60 years” (Kennedy, 2016, p. 410). It is expected that in 2025, this number will reach 1.2 billion. However, an extended lifespan has paradoxically led to high morbidity and mortality rates caused by lifestyle diseases. Some of those lifestyle-influenced diseases are cirrhosis, lung cancer, and stroke. It is worth pointing out that that energy imbalance caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits, including poor nutrition, affect both the quality of life of the elderly and the life span of humans (Hoffman, 2017). Therefore, there is a direct relationship between poor diet, lifestyle-influenced diseases, and healthy aging. To be disease- and disability-free at an old age, it is necessary to adhere to healthy lifestyles as early as possible and maintain healthy habits throughout life.

Furthermore, because healthy aging associates with the genetic code, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, healthy aging can be promoted by adhering to healthy lifestyle behaviors. It should be said that since “the most modifiable lifestyle factors are diet and physical activity,” public health interventions are needed to promote both physical activity and healthy eating habits (Kennedy, 2016, p. 410). Therefore, a problem of high morbidity and mortality rates caused by lifestyle diseases can be addressed by adhering to healthy lifestyle behaviors, including sticking to healthy diet plans developed by nutritionists and dietitians.

The Needs That Were Identified to Determine the Need for a Public Health Intervention

As mentioned above, an extended lifespan has paradoxically led to high morbidity and mortality rates caused by lifestyle diseases. At the same time, there is a direct correlation between longevity and healthy lifestyle behaviors, for example, living tobacco-free, regular moderate-intensity physical activity, and eating nutrient-dense foods (Zanjani et al., 2015). In other words, lifestyle diseases can be prevented by adhering to healthy lifestyle behaviors.

The Identified Public Health Issue and Its Impact on Target Population

The identified public health issue is preventing lifestyle diseases caused by unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, including poor nutrition. Lifestyle diseases affect the mobility of older adults, their functional performance, and emotional balance. Also, because the elderly become dependent on others, their overall sense of self-worth declines because they are dependent on others. These factors reduce the quality of life of older adults (Somrongthong, et al., 2016).

The Context of the Identified Public Health Issue

“605 million persons, (20%) are currently aged ≥60 years” (Kennedy, 2016, p. 410). It is expected that in 2025, this number will reach 1.2 billion. However, an extended lifespan has paradoxically led to high morbidity and mortality rates caused by lifestyle diseases. The escalating problem of developing lifestyle-influenced diseases among older adults has become a serious public health concern due to the growth in the elderly population.

The Way to Zoom in and Be Explicit

To zoom in, it will be important to identify the target audience, develop a tactic of avoiding human attribution biases, take advantage of the ideology of individual responsibility, and use opportunities offered by media advocacy. At the same time, to be explicit, it will be important to focus on clarity in a paper and understandably formulate ideas.

The Relevance of the Identified Public Health Issue to American Communities

According to Smith and Ansa (2016), some distinctive characteristics of rural American communities make them very vulnerable to lifestyle-influenced diseases, including but not limited to obesity, diabetes, stroke, and cancer. Those characteristics are a lack of healthcare access, relatively low income, and a lack of education. Furthermore, African American and Hispanic communities are also vulnerable to developing lifestyle-influenced diseases than whites because of insufficient insurance coverage and low-income levels (Thorpe et al., 2017).

The Approach to Finding the Answers

The answers to the question of interest will be found in scholarly articles and other publicly available documents. More than one academic databases will be used to identify relevant scholarly articles and avoid possible bias using keywords combined with Boolean operators. They are Google Scholar, Health Policy Reference Center, and PubMed databases.

Possible Challenges

Possible challenges related to this project are coming up with the right strategy for preventing lifestyle diseases caused by unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, including poor nutrition, and implementing this strategy into practice.

Identify a clear, actionable, and measurable financial or economic goal for the organization that clearly supports the mission and vision.

For Part 2 of the Goals for Stevens District Hospital assignment, you will use the same format you used in Week 3. In this assignment, you will identify 3 additional goals that support the mission and vision of the hospital. For each goal, you will write a 250- to 350-word analysis based on your review of the data provided in the Stevens District Hospital Planning Scenario and your SWOT analysis.

Financial or Economic Goal

Develop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care issue as it relates to a target vulnerable population.

Develop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care issue as it relates to a target vulnerable population. Include an analysis of existing evidence and position papers to help support your position. Your analysis should also present and respond to one or more opposing viewpoints.

Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Position papers are a method to evaluate the most current evidence and policies related to health care issues. They offer a way for researchers to explore the views of any number of organizations around a topic. This can help you to develop your own position and approach to care around a topic or issue.

SHOW LESS

This assessment will focus on analyzing position papers about an issue related to addiction, chronicity, emotional and mental health, genetics and genomics, or immunity. Many of these topics are quickly evolving as technology advances, or as we attempt to push past stigmas. For example, technology advances and DNA sequencing provide comprehensive information to allow treatment to become more targeted and effective for the individual. However as a result, nurses must be able to understand and teach patients about the impact of this information. With this great power comes concerns that patient conditions are protected in an ethical and compassionate manner.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

  • Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes.
    • Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that could support a team’s approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population.
    • Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that are contrary to a team’s approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population.
  • Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.
    • Explain the role of the interprofessional team in facilitating improvements for a specific issue in a target population.
  • Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy.
    • Explain a position with regard to health outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
  • Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
    • Communicate an initial viewpoint regarding a specific issue in a target population and a synthesis of existing positions in a logically structured and concise manner, writing content clearly with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
    • Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
