Multimodal Intervention Paper

The micro level intervention that this writer would use is individual counseling. Individual counseling would allow this writer to learn about each client individually and what basic needs are not being met in their lives. This writer could assist each client in finding shelters, employment, care for physical and mental health problems and other services to help meet the client’s basic needs. An example of this micro intervention can be seen at the Center for Urban Community Services in New York City according to Lorenzo & Barbosa,

In the text " Nannies, Maids, and Sex Workers in the New Economy," Barbara Ehrenreich and Arlie Russell Hochschild argue that women from third world countries have to leave their homes and go to developed countries in order to provide for their families. When these women move so far away their family bond is affected and their children miss out on the love and affection they need. These women also run the risk of getting paid little for their work, being manipulated by their bosses, and also having to become sex workers for them so they don't run the risk of losing their jobs.

In the article with Cohen and Semple (2009), mindful interventions can help families grow in their behaviors. Parental distress has reactions on their children. Interventions can improve a relationship between a parent and their child (Cohen & Semple, 2009). Interventions can treat eating disorders, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and alcohol and substance abuse programs, as well as mood-related disorders (Cohen & Semple, 2009).

For 36 months after the selection of the participants each participant in the interventional group received at least 9 follow ups. The control group also had similar instructions but it was only 4 times in 12 months intervals. During each 12 month visit MD check to see if there were any disease. Participants were advised/instructed to decrease total energy consumption and to increase the level of physical activity. The goal is to reduce body weight by 5%. Material and human existing resources were used at the study centers. Dieticians and Nurses were primarily involved in the interventions. Information of diabetes and modifications in lifestyle were provided through pamphlets and pedometers. Participants participated in a series of follow-up

In all honesty I enjoyed the medical adherence project. It is not often in many of my college courses I get to participate in an hands on project. Participating in the medical adherence project I believe allows one to understand to some degree what one has to go through with a chronic illness. Taking the red pill and blue pill was fairly easy for me. I have struggled on and off with severe acne for around 9-10 years. Over that course of time I was on two different antibiotics for two years. Both that I was prescribed were to be taken in the morning and night. I as well over this course have had some type of facial regimen almost every day since I have struggled with acne. Though, it has taught me consistency and has ingrained in me regimens.

In conclusion, addressing the problem of non-adherence would help alleviate the burden of added costs to healthcare. When patients take their medications as prescribed, they are considered to be adherent. Adherence has two components that are complementary to each other: persistence and implementation

The causes of PTSD based on the biopsychosocial model can be made up of frequent “anxiety or

Students can be identified as having a learning disability by using a process based on their response to research-based interventions along with an IQ-achievement discrepancy. These scientific, research-based interventions, which are tiered approaches to school based service delivery, are generally known or called response-to-intervention (RtI) models. RtI models are early intervention approaches that involve children’s responses to evidence-based interventions which are implemented on three different levels of intensity. To achieve prevention goals, RTI schools are structured, arranged, staffed, and lead differently than traditional schools. Along with using a tiered approach, schools that use RtI models also use progress monitoring. They use a vital flow chart of students, within and across tiers of services, to maintain a positive response to intervention. School-wide RtI is characterized by multiple tiers of risk and support. Students within RtI schools are considered to be placed across three, sometimes four, tiers of risk ranging from no risk to very high level of risk. There is no right or wrong amount of tiers schools can use, but the majority of schools use a three tier system. The expectation of Tier 1 is that about 80% of students will be making expected progress in

In a pre-test, post-test research study conducted by Tillekerante et al. (2015), a multifaceted intervention targeting health care personnel was implemented to reduce CA-UTI incidence at a 169-bed, low economic hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. Surveillance activities were conducted in the 4 medical wards of the hospital, which contain a total of 48 male beds and 48 female beds. Active surveillance was carried out on the medial wards to determine the base line rate of symptomatic CAUTIs. Surveillance was conducted over an 8-week period form March 2012 to May 2012. It was carried out by members of the study team including 1 infectious disease physician and 2 local, bilingual research assistants trained in surveillance activities. The total number

According to Martha Sajatovic “forgetting to take medication was the top reason for non-adherence [which was (55%) of the people]” among more than half of the people that consume medication. Non-adherence to medication means that certain people do not agree with taking their medication due to many reasons and the most common is forgetting to consume it. To solve that problem I have decided to create a device that will remind the patients to take their medicine and decrease non-adherence.

For my research project I hoping to look at the effects of technology on the adherence of patients to their medication regime and what effects using more technology would bring to try to and get patients to be more adherent to their medications. Medication adherence has been a big topic for many years and many different experiments and methods have been tried in order to try and increase this adherence in patients. When it comes to medication adherence many people do not do very well due to forgetting to take their medication, not wanting to take their medication or even not being able to pay for their medication they need. Past experiments have looked at the effect of things like the practitioner giving the patient a slight touch while emphasizing they stick to the prescribed regime and this experiment showed that with that touch adherence of the patients and

Cognitive behavior therapy helps people break the connections between difficult situations and their habitual reactions to them. This can be reactions such as fear, rage or depression, and self-defeating or self-damaging behavior. Cognitive behaviour therapy refers to a class of interventions that share the basic principles that mental disorders and psychological discomforts are maintained by cognitive factors (Hofmann et al., 2012).

Health and human services policymakers expressed the need to move from single –disease solutions to population health interventions. The need is due to a growing public health concern- almost 1 in 3 Americans is diagnosed with multiple chronic conditions and more than 65% of health care spending is for care given to this group. (Kangovi peer research October 2017).

There are many different solutions to patient non-compliance. Education is one of the biggest factors that play into whether or not a patient will adhere to discharge instructions. When patients do not understand why they are taking their medication and or how they are supposed to continue their care at home; it poses a big contribution to patient non-compliance. According to Pasina’s (2014) medication adherence study, patients are more likely to follow there medication regimen if they are better educated on why they are taking their medication, when they should take their medication and how to correctly take their medication. Dury (2013) states that offering patients tools that will help them improve their health and better understand their medication will increase adherence.

Overall, the social structure theories observe institutional provisions within a social structure and social processes as they affect socialization and have a major influence on social life. According to the social structure theories, a person's position in the socioeconomic structure influences their possibility of becoming a criminal. For instance, people who are underprivileged are more probable to commit crimes because they are unable to achieve economic or social success in any other method. Therefore, crime is the result of an individual's position within the structure of society. In general, there are three main types of social structure theories including the social disorganization theory, the strain theory, and culture conflict perspectives.
