Explain the role of international health organizations and altruistic organizations in providing health care services related to the global event.

/in /by

Write a 5–6 page, APA-formatted report that explains the responses to a global event, how issues of race, class, and gender may have affected the response, and the role of international and altruistic organizations in providing health care services related to the event. Describe barriers to receiving health care services related to the event, and explain the role of the professional nurse in providing health care services related to the global event.

 

Preparation

Suppose that within your health care organization there is no formal process or structure for health care professionals to volunteer time and services in times of global need. You would like to develop a proposal for establishing a process that would allow nurses and other health care professionals to secure time off to work with a specific worldwide organization, to provide health care services during global events. As part of the proposal, you would need to provide background research to support your request.

Conduct background research on either one of the following to support the proposal you would develop:

  • Choose one worldwide epidemic, such as the 2009 flu pandemic, 2009 mumps outbreak, 2012 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus outbreak, the recent Ebola virus epidemic, or another epidemic. Research articles that focus on how the initial outbreak was handled; the role of social attitudes and issues of race, class, and gender in responding to the outbreak; barriers to people receiving proper health care; and the role of nursing in providing health care services related to the epidemic.
  • Choose one natural disaster, such as the earthquakes in Haiti, Pakistan, or Nepal; Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar; the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, or any other natural disaster that brought a worldwide response. Research articles that focus on the initial response to the disaster; the role of social attitudes and issues of race, class, and gender in responding to the disaster; barriers to survivors receiving health care; and the role of nursing in providing health care services related to the disaster.

Requirements

For this assessment, develop background research that would support a proposal for an organizational process allowing health care professionals to volunteer time and services when global events happen. First, identify the global event you will be using in your research, and then:

  • Explain how the local and national (meaning the nation in which the event took place) communities responded to the event. Who responded? How long did the first response take? How did health care providers respond?
  • Explain how social attitudes, as well as issues of race, class, gender, or other factors may have influenced the response to the event. Be sure you consider not only the response of the home country, but the global response as well.
  • Describe barriers to health care services for the people impacted by the event. Some barriers may be obvious, and other barriers less obvious; try to consider multiple aspects.
  • Explain the role of international health organizations and altruistic organizations in providing health care services related to the global event.
  • Explain the role of the professional nurse in providing health care services related to the global event. Consider scope of practice when working professionally out of one’s area of license—either nationally or globally.

Additional Requirements

Complete your assessment using the following specifications:

  • Title page and reference page.
  • Number of pages: 5–6 (not  including the title and reference pages).
  • At least 4 current scholarly or professional resources.
  • APA format for the entire document, including citations and references.
  • Times New Roman font, 12-point, double-spaced.

Describe best practices for effective interprofessional  collaboration. What types of technology can be used to support  collaboration?

/in /by

In 3–5 pages, develop recommendations for a team charter and provide  communication and collaboration strategies for a new interprofessional  team that will work together on challenging cases.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate  your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment  criteria

Effective communication among members of a health care team results  in a unified approach to patient care problems. As patient/family  advocates, nurses are uniquely positioned to coordinate, collaborate,  and communicate. Highly skilled communicators are actually great  listeners. They collect and process information in an effort to fully  understand issues and concerns. They gather information from a variety  of sources: patients, licensed and unlicensed providers, and their own  intuition. Exceptional communicators then filter and share information  with team members (Apker, Propp, Zabava Ford, & Hofmeister, 2006).

Show Less

In nursing, effective communication is increasingly viewed as a  mark of professionalism (Propp et al., 2010). When paired with  collaboration and coordination, communication becomes the vehicle for  assuring positive patient outcomes. But what happens when disparate  personalities come together with a common goal? How will communication  and collaboration take place?

Teams that function effectively have determined how to work  synergistically, communicate clearly, and address conflict. There are  two types of dysfunction: emotional conflict and task conflict. In each  type, the resulting outcome may be constructive or destructive (Almost,  2006). It is in our diversity that conflict may erupt. Diversity may  include culture, values, language, age, thinking style, or a myriad of  other attributes that make us each unique.

Preparation

Use the Capella library and the Internet to research examples of  interprofessional team charters, communication strategies and conflict  resolution strategies for teams, and methods and technologies used in  team communication.

Requirements

You have been charged with facilitating the launch of an  interprofessional team that will work together on a number of  challenging cases. The team members will come from several different  areas within the organization. The team is expected to have its  orientation meeting in two weeks and then work together collaboratively  for the next six months. Your first task is to develop recommendations  for a team charter that will help the group establish ground rules and  decide who will lead the team. You also need to help the team with  communication and collaboration strategies.

This assessment has two distinct sections: Team Charter  Recommendations and Communication and Collaboration Strategies. Provide  thorough and detailed recommendations and support your recommendations  using examples, references, and citations from your research.

For the Team Charter Recommendations:

  • Explain methods to establish ground rules and set expectations.  How might differences in personality, expectations, and experience  affect team efficiency?
  • Describe conflict resolution strategies for interprofessional teams.
  • Identify effective ways to address issues of team leadership. How  will the team decide who will lead them? What happens if the team  leader is ineffective?

For the Communication and Collaboration Strategies:

  • Describe best practices for effective interprofessional  collaboration. What types of technology can be used to support  collaboration?
  • Explain the benefits and limitations of different communication  strategies such as e-mail, text, voice mail, and face-to-face. When is  it appropriate to use each type of communication?

This assessment should be 3–5 pages in length, not including the  title page and reference page. Use at least three resources to support  your recommendations, and follow APA guidelines for style and format.

Additional Requirements

  • Include a title page and reference page.
  • Reference at least three current scholarly or professional resources.
  • Use APA format.
  • Use Times New Roman font, 12 point.
  • Double space.

Describe strategies team members can use to build trust among one another in terms of skill, knowledge, and responsibility.

/in /by

Prepare a 10–12-slide PowerPoint presentation for department managers on building leadership and trust in collaborative teams.

Perhaps the best predictor of team success is its clarity of  purpose and the team’s commitment to achieving it. To support that  purpose, a team needs a process that moves smoothly from vision and  mission to goals and tasks in order to achieve the desired outcomes. The  foundation of both purpose and process is leadership.

Show Less

Any form of collaboration is an inherently human process. The  culture of an organization can dramatically affect team efficacy and  performance. The glue that holds teams together is trust. Three factors  can help build trust in collaborative environments: performance and  competence, integrity, and concern for the well-being of others.

“There is a need for nursing leaders to provide inspiration,  mentorship, and direction, whether it be for a patient or the  profession” (Mahoney, 2001, p. 269). Mahoney’s point is that leaders are  needed at all levels, all functions, and all specialties of nursing.  Leadership skills are especially important when guiding or facilitating a  team.

Show Less

But what makes a skilled leader? Aranda, Aranda, and Conlon (1998)  suggest that five elements are critical: sharing an inspired vision,  challenging team processes, modeling effective team behaviors,  empowering team members, and encouraging the heart (pp. 45–46). Leaders  must deal with conflict, decision making, and goal achievement.

In health care today, there are more teams (including virtual  teams) of multidisciplinary professionals than ever before. To lead  these teams effectively and successfully, the roles and responsibilities  of each team member need to be clearly defined, along with clear  descriptions of how the team will make decisions.

Trust is an important factor in multidisciplinary team  collaboration as well, and it is measured in terms of reliability and  communication. A competent and effective leader knows how to build trust  across boundaries (geographic, cultural, gender, age, et cetera) to tap  the skills and talents of each team member, resulting in team success.

Requirements

You have been asked by organizational leadership to develop a  PowerPoint presentation for department managers on building leadership  and trust in collaborative teams. Your presentation should be 10–12  slides in length and include a references slide at the end. Use the  notes section of each slide to expand your talking points and reference  your resources. Be sure your references are formatted according to APA  guidelines.

This assessment examines two critical components for  interprofessional team success: leadership and trust. Develop a  PowerPoint presentation in which you:

  • Identify at least three leadership behaviors that build trust within a team.
  • Identify at least three leadership behaviors that undermine trust within a team.
  • Explain the consequences of a team that does not trust its leader in terms of patient safety.
  • Describe strategies team members can use to build trust among one another in terms of skill, knowledge, and responsibility.
  • Describe principles of effective interprofessional team  leadership. In other words, what skills and qualities should a good team  leader possess? Is there a difference between being a good leader and  being an effective leader?

Additional Requirements

  • Include a title slide and references slide.
  • Create 10–12 slides in addition to the title and references slides.
  • Use at least three current scholarly or professional resources.
  • Use APA format for references.
  • Be creative. Consider your target audience.

Mr. and Mrs. E are members of your church. Mr. E is seeking counseling but asking that his wife or children not be involved in any of the sessions as they are not aware of the difficulties he is experiencing

/in /by

Mr. and Mrs. E are members of your church. Mr. E is seeking counseling but asking that his wife or children not be involved in any of the sessions as they are not aware of the difficulties he is experiencing.  Mr. E is a 27-year-old electrician and complains of dizziness, sweating palms, heart palpitations, and ringing of the ears.  He states that these symptoms have been occurring for at least the last 18 months.  He has also experienced dry mouth and throat, periods of extreme muscle tension, and a constant “edgy” and watchful feeling that has often interfered with his ability to concentrate.  These feelings have been present most of the time over the previous 2 years; they have not been limited to discrete periods.  Although these symptoms sometimes make him feel “discouraged,” he denies feeling depressed and continues to enjoy activities with his family.

 

 

 

He also has many worries.  He constantly worries about the health of his parents.  His father, in fact, had a myocardial infarction 2 years previously, but is now feeling well.  He also worries about whether he is “a good father,” whether his wife will ever leave him (there is no indication that she is dissatisfied with the marriage), and whether he is liked by co-workers on the job.  Although he recognizes that his worries are often unfounded, he can’t stop worrying.

 

 

 

For the past 2 years he has had few social contacts because of his nervous symptoms.  Although he has sometimes had to leave work when the symptoms became intolerable, he continues to work for the same company he joined for his apprenticeship following high-school graduation.  He tends to hide his symptoms from his wife and children, to whom he wants to appear “perfect,” and reports few problems with them as a result of his nervousness.

 

 

 

Please respond (short answer is fine) to all of the following questions:

 

 

 

In your diagnosis, please use DSM IV-TR diagnoses when appropriate (found in your powerpoint presentations)

 

 

 

  1. What are the client’s most prominent ‘presenting issues’ (that is, what seems to take priority as being wrong)?

 

 

 

  1. What else do you feel you need to know (or, what might be some areas you may ask about in order to determine what is going on and how severe the problem may be)?

 

 

 

  1. What do you think may be your ‘initial diagnosis’ based on the information given in the case study? Why?

 

 

 

  1. What, if any, psychospiritual factors might be present and maintaining the presenting issue?

 

 

 

  1. What are possible methods of treatment or referral?
