This is a paper that focuses on developing role of physiotherapy in Health Promotion. The paper also considers the government drivers in health promotion.

Developing role of physiotherapy in Health Promotion

The developing role of physiotherapy in Health Promotion and illness prevention, a reflective account.
Guidance:
There is increasing emphasis on the role of physiotherapy in health promotion and also illness prevention, with the economic burden of ill health being felt by individuals, organisations and the healthcare providers.
This assignment is the chance to reflect on what you have witnessed on clinical placement, in relation to HP and IP. Place it in context of current practice and thoughts for the future.
You should include:
• An introduction to the developing role of physiotherapy in health promotion and illness prevention.  Consider:
Background to the problem (health of the population)
What is HP and IP
Introduce the reflection component to the essay.

Body

• The main body of the assignment should be a reflective account of placement experiences of a physiotherapist’s role in health promotion and illness prevention.

Firstly, what did you witness – +ve or -ve. (-ve is not necessarily about criticising what was seen on a placement, but identifying where changes could be made to support HP/IP input, or to develop further where some elements exist).
Secondly, when choosing which experiences to include, consider relevance to physio carefully. I.e. smoking cessation may involve in some of the programmes physios are involve in, but it’s not our area of expertise and also so not a good choice of focus. Emphasis around physical activity would be the most likely option, but your choice as long as directly relevant to physiotherapy.
Thirdly, could be a single experience or a combination, however if using more than one experience, it’s better to stick within the same theme of HP.

As with all assignments you must support your arguments with the relevant literature in that area. Keep it balanced not biased.
This should not be a descriptive piece and so make sure you include analysis, synthesis and evaluation, in the context of the existing evidence.
You can write in the first person for the reflective account.

o Within the assignment you may want to consider:
▪ Government drivers you have witnessed in action, in relation to health promotion and also illness prevention.
▪ The implementation of campaigns by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy that you may have witnessed.

The novel coronavirus pandemic will shape the politics and economics of the Middle East in both the immediate and long term. As the pandemic’s repercussions will be felt far beyond public health. Many of the dynamics that were set in motion before this crisis will be accelerated by its onset. While Israel closely watches the side effects of the pandemic as they evolve into potential security threats. It should also keep an eye on the opportunities for regional cooperation and stabilization that arise as its surrounding landscape changes.

Numerous countries in the region were knee-deep in multi-faceted crises long before the virus erupted. The status quo in the majority of the Middle East. Firstly, poor economic conditions. Secondly, an influx of immigrants and refugees. Thirdly, violent civil wars and internal conflicts. Fourthly failing and corrupt bureaucracies. Additionally, has evolved into a landscape with threats and opportunities alike. When it comes to the pandemic, the feeble governments and authoritarian regimes in the region have a strong political incentive to hide the truth from their constituents and the rest of the world. Many cannot collect the relevant data and make sense of it. This is a major handicap that will impair any capability to handle the pandemic and allocate (almost non-existent) resources to keep their countries afloat.

Iran, already reeling under tough sanctions and historic unrest, was one of the first countries worldwide to experience a widespread outbreak. It became a hotspot largely due to its close economic ties with China and Tehran’s rampant mismanagement. Officially, the Islamic Republic reports over 76,000 cases and more than 4,700 fatalities, but health experts assess the real numbers to be far higher.

This is a paper that focuses on the association between deaths and gender relating to COVID-19 outbreak. The paper also provides further questions to use in answering the case study below.

The association between deaths and gender relating to COVID-19

Task
The outbreak of COVID-19 is now widespread across the world. It is resulting in a large number of infections and serious health outcomes.  The outbreak has infected more than 9,000 people in South Korea to date. Their public health response has been praise for quickly reducing the number of infections and casualties.  Your task is to answer a set of research questions using current data from the Korean Center for Disease Control & Prevention (sent by e-mail). This data was obtained at a particular point in time (cross-sectional) from cases reported and contains a variety of clinical and epidemiological data.  Details of the data set and the variables are provided below.  TABLE IN THE ATTACHMENT

Answer all of the questions (Q1, 2, 3 & 4):
Q1:             Firstly, is there an association between deaths and gender?

Q2:             Secondly, is there a difference in age between males and females for those patients deceased? At the end of your summary, critically reflect on how these results provide important information to answer Question 1. (Note: you will need to create a new variable for age which is the difference between the year 2020 and the patients birth year.  As the sample size for this analysis is small you can use a threshold of 20% to assess normality.  You can also use a significance level of 0.10 and 90% confidence level for the statistical results).

Q3: Thirdly, are there differences in the number of days from confirmed test to release for the provinces in your data?

Q4: Fourthly, are age and global number significant predictors of the number of days from confirmed test to release? Firstly describe the relationships between each of the independent and dependent variables. Then, identify which of the variables explain the largest amount of variation in number of days from confirmed test to release. If researchers are mostly an interest in the association between global number and number of days from confirmed test to release. (Note: use the new variable age you created for Question 2)

This assessment task allows students to demonstrate theoretical knowledge around pathophysiological changes in disease, pharmacological management of disease, planning nursing care and evaluating care.

Theoretical knowledge around pathophysiological changes in disease

Description: This assessment task allows students to demonstrate theoretical knowledge around pathophysiological changes in disease, pharmacological management of disease, planning nursing care and evaluating care. Students are require d to answer the case scenario questions provide d.

Students should attempt all questions in the case study:

You are just starting your shift as a graduate nurse and you are about to review your first patient, William Tran is a 33 year old man who has been admitted to the surgical ward – high dependency area post the formation of a temporary ileostomy. During admission, it is document ed that William has a past history of Crohn’s disease – ulcerative colitis and multiple hospitalisations for Crohns related illnesses including malabsorption and weight loss (55kg).

He is prescribed Prednisolone, Metronidazole, Balsalazide. He is also on a narcotic analgesia infusion (Morphine 60mg in 60 ml with Normal Saline 0.9%, equaling concentration of 1mg/ml) with a continuous infusion rate of 3ml/hr and a patient controlled analgesia demand dose of 2mg. Prior to transfer to the ward he was prescribe d and administer ed a loading dose of intravenous morphine (5mg). His social history reveals he has been partner ed for 10 years. Extended family live in Vietnam.

1.5 Lastly, Report the major side effects of intravenous morphine apply your findings to Tran’s case. Finally, Explain why this finding would need to be report ed immediately to the Doctor. (200words)

Nonbiased formal and informal specialized diagnostic assessment results provide meaningful information and data to make team decisions that best support students with disabilities.

Nonbiased formal and informal specialized diagnostic assessment

Firstly, Nonbiased formal and informal specialized diagnostic assessment results provide meaningful information and data to make team decisions that best support students with disabilities. The assessment results should be communicate d to ensure all stakeholders fully understand the implications for the classroom. Additionally, include possible accommodations or modifications in the IEP for assessments or testing conditions. Teachers can learn strategies for advocating and mentoring staff and students for such classroom and assessment accommodations or modifications.

Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Observe and collaborate with a school specialist. (E.g… behavior specialist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, or speech pathologist) about diagnostic assessments. Also, his or her role in the process of evaluating individuals with and without disabilities.

During your observations, make note of the following:

The distinguishing criteria/factors between nonbiased formal and informal specialized diagnostic assessments that are administered to individuals with disabilities.

Examples of nonbiased formal and informal specialized diagnostic assessments that are administered to the students being evaluated, including any legal and ethical requirements.

How the school specialist interprets information from a nonbiased formal and informal specialized diagnostic assessment.

How the assessment information is use d in making eligibility, program, and placement decisions for students.

Strategies in communicating specialized assessment results to various stakeholders, including parents and students.

For students that are eligible for special education services, how the assessment results could affect possible accommodations or modifications listed in the IEP related to the classroom environment, instruction, and assessments or testing conditions.

Strategies for advocating and mentoring staff and students for such accommodations or modifications.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Finally, In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your observations and explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
