Spirituality and Culture

/in /by

The American Counseling Association (ACA) recognizes a person’s cultural identity, spirituality, and religion or lack thereof, is central to how a person views the world. Thus, it has a great influence on a person’s daily functioning. Therefore you must understand where spirituality and culture fit into a client’s life and how spirituality and culture impacts a person’s perspective of the world. You also must consider how spirituality and culture influence a person’s behavior and belief systems which can ultimately impact the development or perpetuation of vicarious trauma. As a counselor, counselor educator, and supervisor you must be comfortable as well as competent in addressing spirituality and cultural issues related to the treatment and prevention of vicarious trauma.With these thoughts in mind:Post a brief description of your definition of spirituality. Then, explain how you would approach spirituality and culture in the treatment of vicarious trauma with future supervisees and clients/and or students. Explain how your views on spirituality might impact the counseling process. Finally, describe one skill counselors need to be spiritually and culturally competent when treating clients with vicarious trauma and why. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points.Learning ResourcesReadingsCourse Text: Secondary traumatic stress: Self-care issues for clinicians, researchers, and educatorsChapter 9, “Trauma-Based Psychiatry for Primary Care”Course Text: Quitangon, G. & Evces, M.

This week you will begin creating the SPSS database that will be used to store and analyze your assessment data.  It is very important to set up the variables correctly before the data are entered.View the two videos, Setting up the Database 1 and Setting up the Database 2 for an example of how a database is created.Your database should contain the following variables:Participant ID numberProgram IDGroup (applicable only if you will be comparing two or more groups for a single program, such as a treatment group and a control group)Demographic variables (such as age, sex, and any other demographic variables that are important for your population).Assessment instrument items for one entire instrument (pre and post).Assessment instrument totals for remaining assessment instruments (pre and post).Please note that, if you were creating a database for an actual agency, each item of each assessment instrument would be a separate variable.  For the purposes of this course, you will need to select one assessment instrument for one of your programs and create a variable for every item on the measure in the database.  For the remaining assessment instruments for the two programs, you only need to enter a total score for each subscale. If there are no subscales, then just create a variable for the total score for the measure.For this discussion, submit the beginning of your SPSS database including numbers 1 through 4 above as well as at least a few items from number 5 above.  Use this discussion to clarify any issues related to setting up the variables in the database.  Also attach the instruments that are being used for each program. If you are not able to obtain an actual instrument, provide a description of the instrument that explains the items, measurement scale, and scoring instructions.  Provide a full reference for each instrument used in each of the two programs.The SPSS database containing all of the variables will be submitted for your Week 1 assignment.I will be using the spence anxiety scale for children and the ASI items D1 through D13 will also use the 10 panel urine test.
