perspectives of different professionals

The first learning outcome asks to demonstrate an understanding of what dementia is from the perspectives of different professionals. Managing the person with dementia (PwD) with complex health and social care needs may require a number of professionals to be involved. The multidisciplinary team brings expertise from occupational therapy, social work, and medical and nursing input (Downs & Brooker 2014).

Essentially from a nursing perspective The Nursing and Midwifery council (NMC), (2018;10) ‘requires nurses to keep colleagues informed when you are sharing the care of individuals with other health and care professionals and staff’. Partnership and inter professional working is fundamental in dementia care and has been supported by ……………..provide Reference to support (have a look at Learning Unit 4 to support academic argument for partnership / collaborative / inter professional / co production and also reading list books / journals ) also be mindful of the PwD / family / carers involvement in health & social care decision as part of the partnership………………………… ook to focus on 2 or 3 professionals max) Within the multi-disciplinary team the role of the mental health nurse (MHN) in dementia care focuses on interpersonal relationship and building a therapeutic relationship. Working in partnership the relationship between the mental health nurse and service user is at the heart of nursing practice (Norman & Ryrie, 2009). From a community perspective MHN have a good understanding in relation to investigations and medical diagnosis, provision of emotional and practical support for carers and training for primary care professionals (Keady et al, 2007). The value of MHN working with older people with dementia has been recognised by the Royal College of Nursing, (2015) delivering competence in areas advanced assessment skills, promoting best practice and ethical and person centred care……………………………. Another professional fundamental supporting PwD in the community is the social worker. According to ……….Social workers are responsible for …………….

Another section of Doris CMP (Kings Fund, 2011) I would like to explore further is the MHN was the professional responsible for co coordinating and managing Doris care in the community.

According to the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG)(2010) the role of the care coordinator provides regular reviews and evaluates the care and treatment. ……………….……. LO3) The final learning outcome looks to provide recommendations for future practice from an inter-professional perspective. It could be argued the allocation of a professional to coordinate the care and treatment plan based on the PwD person centred needs is essential. This helps maintain quality of care and best available evidence to support independent living (DH, 2018). According to WAG (2010) a care coordinator will be a mental health  professional with appropriate skills and qualifications and who will be responsible for working with a person to agree a written Care and Treatment Plan. The Mental Health Measure (WAG, 2010) under part 2 …

Learning Objectives Covered LO 03.02 – Demonstrate an understanding of retailing basics including the retailing mix Background five people standing with shopping bagsRetailing is the process of distributing goods or services from a business or company to a consumer. Retailing is a complex system that depends on manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. One way to help better understand retailing is by creating a retailing mix document. A retailing mix always revolves around the target market. It addresses six key factors. These are: price, promotion, place, product, presentation and store image. Each factor will be addressed in more detail below. Product Product refers to the products that you sell. Questions to consider include: What is your main product and what separates it from the competition? How much inventory do you need to have on hand at any time? How quickly do you anticipate your products will sell? Presentation Presentation refers to how your product will be displayed and showcased.

Transtheoretical and Health Belief Models in Chronic Illness The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psychological, and/or social factors covering a broad range of topics that include stress, coping, and behaviors that either promote health and prevent illness, or contribute to the development of clinical problems. Health and wellness are important to our daily lives and this is true even in the context of being diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes mellitus. The interplay between emotions, cognitive, and behavioral/physical factors can affect all aspects of health and illness. Individual differences such as culture, ethnicity, lifestyle, religion, gender, identity development, financial status, and social support should be considered when analyzing the individual’s response to a chronic illness. Numerous research studies have investigated the impact of one or more of these factors in terms of the effect on chronic disease outcomes. These outcomes can include symptom management and/or progression of the severity of the disease. Explanatory theories often describe factors that contribute to health problems, or interfere with prevention activities, and thus provide targets for change. One such theory is the Health Belief Model (HBM) which addresses perceptions of the health problem. These perceptions include the degree of threat in terms of susceptibility and severity, any benefits to be obtained by avoiding the perceived threat, and various internal (e.g., self-efficacy) and external (e.g., barriers to care) factors that influence the individual’s decision to act. Other theories emphasize motivations that influence a continuum of stages of behavioral change. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change is a theory of this type. The response to chronic illness and the illness experience itself can be described by these models. In managing chronic disease, there are coping strategies and behavior changes that support optimal outcomes and therapeutic interventions can be designed for greater effectiveness by using these two models. For your paper you will choose from the two options below. The option you choose will provide the focus and title for your paper. Option A: Diabetes Mellitus and the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior ChangePreview the document Option B: Diabetes Mellitus and the Health Belief ModelPreview the document To support your work, you will perform research using the Ashford University Library and/or other search methods to provide references to support your work. You must include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources, published within the past five years relating to diabetes mellitus and to either the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (Option A) or the Health Belief Model (Option B). The use of additional scholarly and/or peer-reviewed references is highly recommended. These may be obtained from academic, professional, or governmental agency sources. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, non-academic websites, and media outlet sites or publications are not appropriate resources for academic writing and are not appropriate for inclusion in this paper. You may reference your textbook and other required or recommended materials from the course but these will not fulfill the minimum reference requirement. In your paper you will provide an analysis of your research by addressing the following elements: Personal impact of chronic illness Impact of chronic illness on friends and family Methods of coping Interventions to encourage healthy lifestyle choices Motivations for adhering to recommended self-care guidelines Beliefs about illness that support or reduce self-efficacy and the ability to take action. Use the following headings to organize your paper into four sections as follows: Introduction: Explain how the TTM or HBM can be used to explain the individual’s response to chronic illness Body: Analyze the impact of chronic illness on friends and families, coping strategies used in chronic illness, social and psychological factors involved in the illness experience, long-term social and psychological implications of chronic illness, and therapeutic interventions based on your model Conclusion: Summarize how the TTM or HBM explains the individual’s approach to illness and behavior change Appendix: Complete the provided TTM table (Option A) or the HBM table (Option B), thinking of the diabetic individual’s adherence to self-care recommendations. Copy and paste your completed table into the Appendix of your paper. This paper must include the biopsychosocial aspect of your research with emphasis on biological, psychological, and social factors. Be sure to elaborate on these factors using information drawn from your research and text readings. Throughout your paper, include in-text citations for all statements of facts obtained through your research. Remember that direct quotes (identical phrases or sentences taken from a source) require in-text citations with appropriate formatting as described in the Ashford Writing Center. Statements of opinion should be clearly stated as such, and include a rationale to support why you hold this opinion (e.g., personal or professional experience, your research findings).
