Informal Caregiving:

Contrast the positive and negative aspects of care giving from the caregiver’s perspective and discuss the issues that tip the balance for any given individual.

Most caregivers report substantial positive aspects, and little to no negative aspects. Some report that caregiving brought them closer to the care-recipient, and a good amount report caregiving provides satisfaction that the recipient is well cared for. Only a small number of caregivers report substantial negative aspects of caregiving, the most common being having more to do than they can handle, feeling exhausted, and not having time for themselves. Most caregivers also reported no difficulty with caregiving and reported substantial financial or physical difficulties. Some have reported emotional difficulty as a result of their caregiving. Patterns were similar for caregivers helping with self-care or mobility, although they appear to be slightly less likely to report few gains and more likely to report substantial negative aspects of caregiving and difficulties with caregiving. The apparent differences are not statistically significant, however, although self-care and mobility helpers were significantly less likely to report no financial, emotional, or physical difficulties.

2. Continuum of Care:

Long-term care providers may be considered in a continuum of care. Summarize this concept and include the three elements of a continuum discussed in Chapter 1 in the Pratt text.

Continuum of care is a client-oriented system composed of both services and integrating mechanisms that guides and tracks patients over time through a comprehensive array of health, mental health and social services spanning all levels of intensity of care. There must be a continuing health need that is being monitored, of course, but the transition of care levels from basic early intervention to skilled nursing care and all intermediate interventions comprises continuum of care. The term might include a substance abuse organization, a physical rehabilitation hospital or other facilities including nursing homes and assisted living. About long-term care, you might consider senior housing communities. Usually, there are four levels of care in these communities:  independent living, assisted living, nursing home and skilled nursing.

The elements of a continuum are:

The Continuum is Client Oriented

The Continuum is Comprehensive

The Continuum is Integrated

social-ecological model

/in /by

This week we explore the social-ecological model and the Swearer and Hymel (2015) article does a nice job of describing this model as applied to the problem of bullying. In working on your social change project this week you will be applying the social-ecological model to the topic you are addressing for your social change portfolio/project. The levels addressed in the social-ecological model in this article include individual, family, peer group, school, and community. Because of this specific topic, school is an important dimension. However, this dimension may not apply to your specific social change project depending on the target population. Thus, if “school” does not apply then you can simply have individual, family, peer group, and community. “Peer group” for someone who is not in school would simply include environments such as work, friends, social networks, and so forth.

When writing this section, it is really easy to miss key points as you will be reviewing a lot of literature. It is best to organize your paper with subheadings such as:

Individual

In one-two paragraphs talk about protective factors.

In one-two paragraphs talk about risk factors.

Family

In one-two paragraphs talk about protective factors

In one-two paragraphs talk about risk factors

etc.

It is also very easy to forget to cite references. Remember to back up any idea that isn’t your own original idea with references.

Social-Ecological Model

This week you will apply the social-ecological model the problem you have identified to address in your community. Applying this model may be new for some of you. Indeed, for many people who are training to be therapists (e.g., clinical mental health counseling, clinical social work, marriage and family counseling, clinical psychology, etc.), the training often has more of a focus simply on the individual and the other levels according to the social-ecological model are often less heavily emphasized if at all. This systemic view can really help contextualize client and community challenges. The article by Swearer and Hymel (2015) in your course resources this week clearly demonstrates some important elements of the social-ecological model and of taking a systemic view of problems to be addressed. I look forward to reading how the model applies to the target problem in your community.

Continuum of Care

The continuum of care, posted below, is just a reminder to think about making your project and goal statement aligned with “Prevention”.

Also, please consult with me via email if you are questioning whether or not your goal statement falls in the realm of prevention or not.

international, credible news story or current event related to children and/or adult dilemmas from an expert consultant’s perspective. You will be asked to develop a series of talking points for a panel discussion you have been invited to attend.

/in /by

As a working professional, understanding the field of psychology and how it applies to your work environment, is a necessary component to not only developing healthy relationships but also appreciating other cultures and their impact to society.

For this first Module Assessment, you will examine an international, credible news story or current event related to children and/or adult dilemmas from an expert consultant’s perspective. You will be asked to develop a series of talking points for a panel discussion you have been invited to attend.

To Prepare:

  • Consider the following: Imagine you are asked to be on a panel as an expert cultural psychology consultant to discuss an international, credible news story or current event regarding children and/or adults that is being debated. You are asked to develop a series of talking points for your panel discussion.
  • Identify an international, credible news story or current event regarding children and/or adults that is being debated (e.g., child labor, immigration, migration, refugees, international scores on standardized tests). Review and analyze the event/news story and apply the lens of culture and psychology.
  • Review this Module’s Learning Resources and consider how these resources may inform your Module Assessment. Also, pay special attention to the resource Evaluating Resources: What about Stuff I find on the Internet? Knowing When to Use and Trust what you find on the Internet and consider how you might evaluate the news story/current event to be credible for your Module Assessment.

Assignment (5–6 pages not including title page or reference page):

As a consultant, you are a busy professional, so your summary will include 5–6 pages of your talking points. However, your talking points will need to be presented in paragraph form that follows proper APA format and style. Include the following:

Introduction (1 page)

  • A brief introduction of culture and components of culture
    • Define culture and be able to describe some forms/aspects of various sample cultures
    • Explain how your definition of culture applies to your news story or current event

News Story/Current Event (1–2 page)

  • Describe the international, credible news story or current event regarding children and/or adults that is being debated (e.g., child labor, immigration, migration, refugees, international scores on standardized tests)

Lifespan Development (1 page)

  • Explain the cultural implications on human development based on the event related to children and/or adults

Specific recommendations (2 pages)

  • Analyze the news story and explain what you have learned about culture and psychology as it relates to addressing the situation
  • Offer 2–4 specific recommendations based on culture and psychology to respond to the issues raised in the news story or event

References

  • At least 4 different scholarly resources including peer-reviewed articles and book chapters (Note: Two of your sources may be credible web resources)

Support your Assignment by citing all resources in APA style, including those in the Learning Resources.
