Fostering

Every  year, a quarter of a million children come into foster care in this  country. Many of them will be placed in group homes or other group  residential settings because there are simply not enough foster families  to care for all of the children. Unlike birth parents, foster parents  receive training before they welcome children into their home and  support from social workers and other professionals throughout the  process. Foster parents often also have access to respite care programs  and find support through local organizations, such as churches, and  online support groups (“Adopt US kids,” 2020).

Psychological

Some  children entering into the foster system tend to have behavioral  issues, temper outbursts, anxiety, depression, and maltreatment. Providing  psychiatric services to children and adolescents in foster care require  collaboration not only with the clinical team, but also the child  welfare team. Team members include parents, foster parents, and the  social worker, at minimum. The team may also include representatives  from courts and others engaged by the child welfare system to conduct  assessments (eg, psychological, neuropsychological) (Scheid, 2020).  These children can get shuffled from place to place and could suffer  from adjustment disorders. Trauma related diagnosis could also be given.

Assessment

Child developmental  screenings coupled with clinical and functional assessment practices are  critical first steps in the intervention process.4 In addition,  gathering information related to family and community assets can help to  reinforce multidimensional and age-appropriate child assessments. The  Treatment Outcome Package (TOP) that is designed to help child welfare  systems gauge a child’s social and emotional well-being. TOP uses  statistically validated questions to identify children’s strengths and  challenges and track their progress over time using simple, web-based  tools. It features a short checklist completed by the child and those  closest to him or her — birth and foster parents, clinicians, teachers,  caseworkers — paired with immediate results and easy-to-follow reports.  TOP tracks and measures two things. It tracks how children are doing  using more than 40 child well-being indicators, such as how well a child  is sleeping or behaving in school, to help gauge whether a child’s  behavioral and mental health needs are improving through a particular  course of treatment. It also looks at specific providers’ track record  of delivering particular services. The more we know about both, the  better we can match kids’ needs with providers’ strengths (Feild, 2014).

Treatment Options

According to Psychiatric Times, Psychotherapy  is generally considered first line when addressing trauma- and  stressor-related emotional and behavioral conditions in children.  Strategies with empirical support include trauma-focused cognitive  behavioral therapy (TF-CBT); parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT),  which is suggested for children aged 2 to 7 years to improve parenting  skills and reduce children’s disruptive behavior; and attachment and  bio-behavioral catchup (ABC), which has been tested in toddlers in  foster care The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (www.nctsn.org)  provides information on a variety of evidence-based and promising  psychotherapeutic approaches for children exposed to maltreatment. This  can be coupled with SSRI’s for treatment of depression and anxiety.  Second generation antipsychotics and benzodiazepines for sleep  disorders.

Cultural Effects

Strong  cultural identity contributes to mental health resilience, higher  levels of social well-being, and improved coping skills, among other  benefits. Foster youth face and deal with trauma, changing home  environments, and lower levels of social well-being than the general  population. Often, due to this disruption, former foster youth have  lower cultural identity strength than those who did not experience  foster care. Child welfare practitioners must examine how they can best  support strong cultural identity in foster youth (Stafanson, 2019).

Note

You will be submitting the literature review section of your final paper for feedback. There is no explicit word count for this exercise, but you will need to fully develop and explain themes in your research that will provide background information for your topic.

Remember that you are not writing about each of your sources separately. You are not focusing on each individual source. Instead, you are focusing on the themes and patterns in the research you have gathered that provide background information on your topic. 

Unlike the annotated bibliography, you are not only allowed but encouraged to use quotes or paraphrase your sources. There should be in-text citations in your writing. 

Even though your focus is to provide background information to your reader and this section is largely informative, you want to make sure that the sources do not speak for you. Paraphrasing and using quotes is absolutely appropriate, but please make sure that you are relying mostly on your own interpretation of the information. Most of your writing should still be your own and not totally dependent on your sources.

Cultural Health Promotion Project

Instructions from my professor:

Cultural Health Promotion Project

Cultural diversity refers to the differences among people based upon shared ideology and shared valued sets of beliefs, norms, customs, and meanings evidenced in a way of life. This diversity is expressed in many ways. Diversity in history, beliefs, practices, and opportunities not only exist among the many cultural groups, they typically exist across a wide continuum within the group. Health behaviors are influenced by culture and cultural values as well as socioeconomic status. 

In this assignment, students will develop a health promotion project for a cultural group living anywhere in the United States. You are to learn as much as you can about the culture norms and patterns and how these norms and patterns influence health practices. The purpose of this assignment is to develop a deeper understanding and sensitivity regarding the role of culture in patients’ lives and in nursing through the examination of a cultural/ethnic group while addressing health promotion strategies and disease prevention.

PROJECT COMPONENTS

The project should address the following Aspects of Cultural Assessment: 

1.  Ethnic/racial identity: How does the group identify itself in terms ethnicity and racial background? What is the range of interaction outside of the cultural group? Are recreational, educational, and other social activities within the ethnic reference group, the wider community, or both? 

2.  History and Value Orientation: How are values derived? What is the historical experience of the group that may have impacted values?

3.  Language-communication process: What is the primary spoken language? What languages are spoken in the home? And by whom? What language is preferred when speaking to outsiders? Do second and third generations in the speak the language of their grandparents? 

4.  Health Beliefs and Practices: What are the traditional health beliefs? How common are these beliefs and practices within this group? To what extent are folk healing practices and practitioners used? 

5.  Religious Belief and Spirituality: Discuss religious articles & practices. How is spirituality is defined in the culture? Remember that Religious Beliefs and Spirituality are different concepts. 

6.  Life cycle events: Which life cycle events are important to the culture? What are the customs associated with births, coming of age, marriage, and death? 

7.  Nutritional Behavior/Diet: Are there restrictions? Are there common practices? 

8.  Medical health care access and experience: Is access to care and equality of care an issue for this group? For example, are group members less likely to receive needed care due to system issues such as financial access or provider biases than another group? 

Based on the Cultural Assessment Data, the student will design a Cultural Health Promotion Plan: 

9.  Cultural Health Promotion Plan: Identify a health risk or health problem the project will address. Describe why this is an issue for your chosen target group and how cultural plays a role in the health risk or problem. 

10.  Health Promotion Strategies/Methods: Based on the health risk/problem identified, describe the strategies/methods that you will implement. Focus on primary and secondary prevention strategies. Refer to Healthy People 2020 Topics and Objectives. You may access the website at: https://www.healthypeople.gov. 

11.  Project Evaluation Methods: State the outcomes you expect to achieve. State how you will measure/assess the effectiveness of the project. 

Complete the paper according to APA 6th Edition Guidelines as a word-processed document. 

The paper is limited to a MAXIMUM of Ten (10) pages (including the title page and references pages;NO Abstract is needed for this assignment).

illness continuum

 

Research  the health-illness continuum and its relevance to patient care. In a  750-1,000 word paper, discuss the relevance of the continuum to patient  care and present a perspective of your current state of health in  relation to the wellness spectrum. Include the following:

  1. Examine  the health-illness continuum and discuss why this perspective is  important to consider in relation to health and the human experience  when caring for patients.
  2. Explain  how understanding the health-illness continuum enables you, as a health  care provider, to better promote the value and dignity of individuals  or groups and to serve others in ways that promote human flourishing.
  3. Reflect  on your overall state of health. Discuss what behaviors support or  detract from your health and well-being. Explain where you currently  fall on the health-illness continuum.
  4. Discuss  the options and resources available to you to help you move toward  wellness on the health-illness spectrum. Describe how these would assist  in moving you toward wellness (managing a chronic disease, recovering  from an illness, self-actualization, etc.).

This  assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning  the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful  completion. 

week -9 theory

 

Calista Roy case study

A 23-year-old male patient is admitted with a fracture of C6 and C7 that has resulted in quadriplegia. He was injured during a football game at the university where he is currently a senior. His career as a quarterback had been very promising. At the time of the injury, contract negotiations were in progress with a leading professional football team.

1. Use Roy’s criteria to identify focal and contextual stimuli for each of the four adaptive modes.

2. Consider what adaptations would be necessary in each of the following four adaptive modes: (1) physiological, (2) self-concept, (3) interdependence, and (4) role function.

3. Create a nursing intervention for each of the adaptive modes to promote adaptation.

Leadership Theories in Practice

 

Discussion 1: Leadership Theories in Practice

A walk through the Business section of any bookstore or a quick Internet search on the topic will reveal a seemingly endless supply of writings on leadership. Formal research literature is also teeming with volumes on the subject.

However, your own observation and experiences may suggest these theories are not always so easily found in practice. Not that the potential isn’t there; current evidence suggests that leadership factors such as emotional intelligence and transformational leadership behaviors, for example, can be highly effective for leading nurses and organizations.

Yet, how well are these theories put to practice? In this Discussion, you will examine formal leadership theories. You will compare these theories to behaviors you have observed firsthand and discuss their effectiveness in impacting your organization.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and examine the leadership theories and behaviors introduced.
  • Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
  • Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.

By Day 3 of Week 4

Post two key insights you had from the scholarly resources you selected. Describe a leader whom you have seen use such behaviors and skills, or a situation where you have seen these behaviors and skills used in practice. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain to what extent these skills were effective and how their practice impacted the workplace.
