Review and respond to a case study related to chronic conditions management

Purpose: As future members of the health workforce it is important that students develop skills in supporting people with a chronic condition. This assignment will help the student to identify and use a health management model that can be implemented to promote self-management for people living with a chronic condition.

 

Case studies

A case study is a contextualised scenario which students are expected to analyse and respond to. In many cases, the scenario or case study involves several issues, questions or problems that must be dealt with.

Case study assignments require students to identify problems and issues in a scenario and its related contextual conditions, to demonstrate their developing knowledge of theories and models to make decisions and recommendations based on these to either prevent or solve some of the issues in that scenario.

 

Choose one case study from below:

Case 1

Ms B is an 40year old woman living in rented accommodation in a rural town with her partner and three children aged 12, 9 and 7 years. Ms B works shifts at the local factory and although the work is regular it is not that well paid. Ms B is overweight, smokes and has always liked her food. Recently she has been feeling tired and listless, so her partner has told her to visit the GP for a check-up. At the appointment the doctor asks her about her symptoms and gathers other information to help him make a diagnosis. Following his physical examination, the doctor finds that a) Ms B is clinically obese, b) Her blood pressure is higher than the healthy range c) Her blood sugar is higher than normal, and she appeared to be short of breath when walking into the office. The doctor also found that:

She smokes 20 cigarettes a day
Does not do any organised exercise but does walk around shopping centres. Although she admits she does get a bit out of breath if she walks around too ‘much’
Drinks alcohol occasionally and usually – beer,but also consumes 2-4 cans of coke a day
Eats take away food frequently – especially when working shifts
She does cook at home, but there is a high content of fat and sugar. She isn’t keen on fruit and vegetables so doesn’t always eat them. The family also eat a lot of dessert items
She snacks frequently when at work – Kit Kats,chocolate bars, lollies

The doctor considers Ms B as a prime candidate for type 2 diabetes. The doctor talks to her about what this means and organises blood and urine tests to confirm his diagnosis. He prescribes medication to address her diabetes and high blood pressure. Ms B is shocked as she feels that she may be overweight, but she considers herself healthy. Ms B’s family members are on the ‘big’ side, even her children take after her side of the family as they are a bit chubby. She is not keen on the idea of changing her diet, having to take any exercise (she’s never been keen on it) and giving up smoking.

 

Case 2

Mr T is a 35year old Indigenous man who lives with his partner and two children in rented accommodation in an urban area. He is currently unemployed but has previously worked as a labourer in the building industry. Mr T has a history of cardiac disease, high blood pressure, smoking and other drug use. Mr T does go hunting with his family throughout the year when the opportunity is available to travel back to country. He also likes to watch the footy, however, he does not actively engage with any other exercise. As the family are dependent on a low income, personal choices regarding diet, exercise and other activities are limited. The family does not have the income to sustain a regular nutritious diet and often have take away meals that are high in fat and sugar. Mr T continues to smoke and use other drugs occasionally. Mr T has a large family support network but does not always take advice regarding his health. He has seen a Dr and other allied health professionals but does not regularly attend appointments so is not following the advice he has been given. This has impacted on the management of his health condition and his health in general. His family are concerned that he is sick as he is tired, short of breath, and his ankles are slightly swollen. They convince him to go to the local Aboriginal medical service to see a doctor. Following his physical examination, the doctor finds that Mr T’s blood pressure is higher than the healthy range and he is short of breath. His records show that Mr T has put on a lot of weight since his last appointment which was a long time ago and was now overweight. He is also concerned that Mr T’s ankles were slightly swollen which may indicate that his cardiac disease had worsened. The doctor also found that:

He smokes 30 cigarettes a day – roll ups
Does not do any organised exercise and has cut down walking any great distance. When hunting with his family he usually stays near the campsite but can fish from the river bank.
Drinks alcohol frequently – beer, usually a 6pack 4-5 times a week
He eats take away food regularly which has a high content of fat and sugar
His diet appears to lack any healthy choices such as fruit and vegetables
He has not been taking his heart medication regularly
He has not been following the dietary advice given to him
The doctor feels that Mr T needs to get back on track and explains to him the importance of healthy lifestyle choices and taking his medication. He also explains that making these changes his health will improve and it will reduce the risk of developing any complications. To help support Mr T to make the changes he suggests that he comes to see a male Aboriginal Health Practitioner regularly. Mr T recognises that what the doctor is saying makes sense however he has been a smoker for a long time and doesn’t really want to give up and he likes his take away food because it’s easy to get and the family like it. Plus, they don’t have much money so buying ‘good’ food may be expensive.

Musician – Activists Assignment 1 (Humanities)

This week’s discussion prompt: After having read and watched the material on Paul Robeson, consider the roles of musicians as activists. In the lecture video I gave you another example, Marian Anderson, and how her powerful performance on Easter Sunday in 1939 galvanized the Civil Rights movement. For this discussion board you have two parts for your initial post: 1. Discuss the roles of musicians as activists; 2. Give an example of another musician activist and what they did (what was their activism about).

Create a post (about 500 words) that gives your opinion of the role of musician activists. You do not have to agree that musicians should insert themselves into public life, or perhaps you believe they should – this initial post tell why or why not musicians should (or should not) be social activists.

The second part: – write about a musician that you have found (not Robeson or Anderson) that used their music as a platform for change.

Myths

Many myths contribute to the idea that only a select few can be diversity-conscious leaders. These are some of the most common:

• Myth One: Diversity-conscious leaders are naturally “people persons.”
Reality: There is nothing natural about the ability to relate to others effectively. As with any skill, people develop and improve their competencies in this area.

• Myth Two: Diversity-conscious leadership is an extremely rare ability.
Reality: Everyone has the potential to be a diversity-conscious leader.

• Myth Three: Diversity-conscious leaders are intellectually brilliant.
Reality: Brilliance is not a precondition for diversity consciousness. Any number of brilliant leaders find it difficult to relate effectively to people from diverse back-grounds. Furthermore, people with “average” capabilities can be exceptional leaders.

• Myth Four: Diversity-conscious leaders are charismatic extroverts.
Reality: Some are but many are not. Diversity-conscious leaders do not fit one mold; rather, they display a wide assortment of personalities, behaviors, and communication styles.

• Myth Five: A diversity-conscious leader must be able to persuade and control people in spite of their differences.
Reality: Diversity-conscious leadership is not so much the exercise of power as the empowerment of others

Review the 5 myths of a diversity-conscious leader.
1.Have you ever believed any of these myths to be true? Explain.
2.Does your cultural background influence your view about the effectiveness of leaders who show a great deal of interpersonal sensitivity? Explain.
3.What is one important life experience that has helped you improve your leadership abilities?

Write out a role-play conversation between the partners in which they make use of effective verbal and nonverbal communication strategies to discuss getting tested for and the possibility of getting treated for STIs.

Week 5 Script

Imagine a scenario in which two partners are discussing getting tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In this scenario, the partners demonstrate through discussion their understanding of the symptoms of STIs, the methods used to test for STIs, and the way in which STIs are treated as well as their capacity to engage in effective communication with one another about this sensitive topic.

Write out a role-play conversation between the partners in which they make use of effective verbal and nonverbal communication strategies (including active listening, ”I”statements, and emotional validation) to discuss getting tested for and the possibility of getting treated for STIs. At the end of your role play, produce a brief, 1-paragraph summary of how effective communication was used.

Your script must be at least 650 words long. Your script should demonstrate accurate knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases, and how to test for them as well as knowledge of communication strategies. Use at least 2 references to support your work.

If you would like, you may write a script for a couple that differs from your personal experience (culturally or in terms of orientation, for example) or even write a script detailing how you would convince two clients of yours to get tested.
