Caregiver Role Strain: Ms. Sandra A.

Description

CASE STUDY: Caregiver Role Strain: Ms. Sandra A.

Sandra, a 47-year-old divorced woman, received a diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer 4 years ago, for which she had a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo- oophorectomy, omentectomy, lymphadenectomy, and tumor debulking followed by chemotherapy, consisting of cisplatin (Platinol), paclitaxel (Taxol), and doxorubicin (Adriamycin). She did well for 2 years and then moved back to her hometown near her family and underwent three more rounds of secondline chemotherapy. She accepted a less stressful job, bought a house, renewed old friendships, and became more involved with her two sisters and their families.

Sandra developed several complications, including metastasis to the lungs. Then she could no longer work, drive, or care for herself. She had been told by her oncologist that there was nothing else that could be done and that she should consider entering a hospice. She met her attorney and prepared an advance directive and completed her will. She decided to have hospice care at home and, with the help of her family, set up her first floor as a living and sleeping area. She was cared for by family members around the clock for approximately 3 days.

Sandra observed that she was tiring everyone out so much that they could not really enjoy each other’s company. At this time, she contacted the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) to seek assistance. Her plan was to try to enjoy her family and friend’s visits. After assessment, the VNA nurse prioritized her problems to include fatigue and caregiver role strain. Other potential problem areas that may need to be incorporated into the care plan include anticipatory grieving and impaired comfort.

Reflective Questions

2. What resources are available to manage these stresses and support the sisters while caring for their dying sister Sandra?

3. Describe Sandra’s feelings about dependency and loss of autonomy because she is unable to do her own activities of daily living any longer

CASE STUDY: First Impressions Can Be Wrong

Ben Baldwin, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Westside Health Consortium, summoned Rob Jameson, vice president for Human Resources, and Pat Collier, chief financial officer, to his office
He told them, “Rob, I agree with your suggestion to change the structure of our benefits package. Pat has supplied financial data to support your suggestion. The costs of benefits continue to rise, with no end in sight. I am asking both of you to work together to develop options for a new plan to replace our existing approach that gives all employees the same benefits. I know that individual and family needs change with time. Westside must institute changes to control costs as well as to attract and retain skilled employees.”

Based on Bob’s case, your task is to evaluate credible, empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of behavioural interventions to determine which is most likely to help Bob manage his stress during this challenging time.

/in /by

CASES STUDY

Stress coping strategies may be classified in many ways, but many people consider behavioural techniques as a part of mind-body medicine and thus, this is an important consideration for psychologists (and related allied health fields). Behavioural interventions for managing stress, such as relaxation training, cognitive behavioural therapy, and emotional disclosure can be effective, but they may not be equally effective in managing the stressful situation.

The Case
Bob, a 26-year-old cis-gendered non-Indigenous Australian man from Redfern (NSW), is experiencing occupational stress and burnout. He is otherwise healthy. He has recently completed his MClin degree and is now preparing to write his board exam with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) in six months’ time to register as a general psychologist. As a provisional psychologist, he is also currently a full-time behavioural support specialist. He knows the additional demands on his time and attention are temporary with his upcoming board exam, but he is starting to feel generally anxious, quick to temper, not sleeping well, and is dissatisfied with his job, career path, and interpersonal relationships. He feels overwhelmed, rather than simply challenged, and has started to procrastinate on study tasks for the board exam.

Your task
Based on Bob’s case, your task is to evaluate credible, empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of behavioural interventions to determine which is most likely to help Bob manage his stress during this challenging time. You should select two of the following three interventions: (1) relaxation training, (2) cognitive behavioural therapy, and (3) emotional disclosure, to compare in your critical evaluation of the evidence.

With the tremendous growth in the field of artificial intelligence in recent years, it has become imperative to prioritize the ethical integration of AI into new systems. This development compels us to be mindful of the moral responsibilities we have as citizens in ensuring fair AI systems. Moral responsibility is a complex issue with multiple stakeholders who may be deemed morally responsible depending on the circumstances.

A compelling example that illustrates the challenges of moral responsibility in AI is the case of Cambridge Analytica in 2018. The firm misused personal data collected from Facebook users without their consent to influence political campaigns. In this case, multiple parties could be implicated for moral responsibility. Firstly, the users who shared their data on Facebook could be seen as morally responsible for not being cautious while sharing their data. Secondly, Facebook, as the platform that allowed the data leak to occur, could also be morally responsible for failing to protect user data and prevent the unethical use of their platform. Lastly, regulators and policymakers could also be morally responsible for not implementing proper safeguards and regulations to prevent such abuses of artificial intelligence.

Another notable example that highlights the same issue is the incident in 2018 where an Uber self-driving car killed a pedestrian in Arizona, USA. This incident raises questions about the safety and moral responsibility of autonomous or AI-driven vehicles. Who is responsible for the accident? Is it the fault of the car or the person who incorporated the rules in the car and designed it? Should a car prioritize the safety of the passenger inside over other pedestrians?

There are measures that can be implemented to make AI safer and more reliable. Developers should consider and adopt ethical frameworks such as transparency, fairness, and accountability while designing AI systems so that they can make sound decisions even in worst-case scenarios. Human oversight of AI systems is also crucial, as there may be situations where AI cannot discern between very similar options. Additionally, implementing strict rules and regulations for the development, deployment, and use of AI systems is vital. This includes establishing specific guidelines for data privacy, security, and ethical behavior, and imposing penalties and fines for non-compliance.

In conclusion, moral responsibility in the realm of artificial intelligence is a critical aspect that requires immediate attention. It is a multifaceted issue that demands active involvement from various stakeholders, including developers, organizations, users, and data providers. All these parties share equal responsibility in ensuring the safe and ethical utilization of AI technologies.

Assessment 2 Instructions: SWOT Analysis

Conduct an environmental scan and write an assessment in which you focus on both the internal and external factors that could affect your success within your chosen industry.

Introduction
After an organization has completed a SWOT analysis, it will carefully monitor both the internal and external environments to detect signs of opportunities and threats that could affect current and future plans. This environmental scanning can help an organization identify trends that are most likely to affect the industry, thereby allowing the development of a strategy for change. The right information, at the right time, can determine the future of an organization.

Note: Developing a strategic plan requires specific steps that need to be executed in a sequence. The assessments in this course are presented in order and should be completed in sequence. Conduct a personal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. In your analysis, consider the following:

Strengths
• What advantages do you have that others do not (skills, education, experience, certifications)?
• What achievements are you most proud of?
• What do you do better than anyone else?
• What do you think others would see as your strengths?
• Do you have special connections that others may not have?
• What personal resources do you have available?

Be sure to consider how others see you-not just how you see yourself.

Weaknesses
• Are there tasks you avoid doing because you do not feel confident doing them?
• Do you have any negative work habits (often late, disorganized, easily stressed)?
• Do you feel confident about your skills, experience, and education?
• Do you have any personality traits that might hold you back? For example, do you have a fear of public
speaking, yet work where you are expected to conduct regular meetings?

Again, consider how others see you.

Evaluating Presidents and Mastery of the Office

In this final, you will take the cumulative knowledge from the semester to answer the core question of presidency: What determines presidential success or failure? Create an informed definition of success and failure. In crafting your answer to this part, assess the following dimensions of presidential governance

  • i) the system-wide demands of the office and to what extent they are conducive for mastery
  • ii) tools presidents have to accomplish their goals
  • iii) constraints that make achieving goals difficult
  • iv) pitfalls that lead to failure and
  • v) illustrations of success.

Next, does presidential success necessarily mean betterment of the polity, and similarly, is prosperity in society necessary for presidential success? Having established the contours of success and failure, conclude your paper by assessing the prospects for presidential success moving forward, and whether our politics need to de-emphasize or rely even more on the chief executive
