University of Phoenix Health Psychology Committee Report Week 9 :
Final Project Tanya LaVonne Kabore 4/25/2010 The word psychology can have many different meanings, depending on who you may ask, but literally psychology is the study of the soul study of the mind. “Psychology is an academic and applied discipline which involves the scientific study of human or animal mental functions and behaviors. or researcher in this field is called a psychologist. A psychologist is classified as a social of behavioral scientist. Psychologists try to understand the role of mental functions in and social also the underlying physiological and neurological processes. Psychologists study such as cognition, attention, motivation, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. Psychological knowledge is applied to various spheres of human activity, including family, employment, and education. Also psychological knowledge is applied to the treatment of mental health problems. Psychology includes many sub – fields span areas as diverse as human development, sports, industry, and law. Psychology incorporates research from the sciences, sciences, and humanities.” (Sarafino, 2006). The Health Psychology Committee a psychiatry comprised of five specialists responsible for implementing psychological methods will enable the treatment of the patients. Implementing these psychological methods will insure that the patients will be treated completely, mentally and physically, which will be essential to better the patient’s overall health. Studies and research show that one of the top fears of both and is the fear of hospitals.(Child Development Institute, 2008). The fears that adults and children have of hospitals would be enough of a reason to implement the use of psychological methods in the treatment of patients, however it is not the only reason. We also have to take into consideration the amount of stress that is associated with any type or form of an illness of disease. “Stress not only effects behavior responses but also impairs immune functioning, by changes in the body’s physical systems, the role of psychology becomes even more evident in providing patient care. (Sarafino, 2006). The patient experience a reduction in stress, will ultimately enhance overall health of the patient, if we integrate psychology into the health care of the patient. In my opinion, the results of integrating psychology into the health care of the patient, will ultimately result in shorter hospital stays and an increase in the patient’s compliance with treatment plans. patients will be better with the necessary skills to successfully and with a variety of illnesses and / or diseases that they may have. Psychological methods are the only avenue from which effective coping skills and coping strategies can be obtained. The psychiatry division will include four psychologists and a pain management specialist. The psychologist will comprise of a substance abuse counselor, only psychologist, child psychologist adult psychologist. Each of these specialists will work closely with the and with other specialists in the division, to ensure the patient’ needs are adequately addressed. In addition, the division will meet a regular basis in order to discuss patient management and treatment plans and address and assess the patient’s current progress. Patient interactions and treatment plans will be developed using the positive psychology approach the human strengths of self control will be main focus. “Because individuals who have well developed skills and ability to control their internal states are less likely to succumb to negative effects of stress. The fostering of self control is essential to patient health.”(Bolt, 2004). Patients will in treatment plans to strengthen self control, inducing increased positivity towards their illness, or medical regimens. areas will be target or thought patterns will be set. benefits of these goals will be identified. possible obstacles will be with a plan for overcoming such obstacles and patients will in monitoring their progress. The social support network will be assessed and utilized as well. “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things.”(Bolt, p.159). Hope is perhaps the most powerful human Hope encourages optimism, and optimism has shown to have effect on health. with high levels of optimism have been proven to suffer less distress from major surgical procedures than those possessing pessimistic attitudes. Optimism also aids in the patient’s behavior following surgery as optimistic patients tend to achieve milestones at a quicker pace than pessimistic patients by walking sooner or sitting up in bed, which would merit to the idea that incorporating psychology patient treatment regimens would shorten hospitalization periods. Individuals who have hope are generally optimistic people who have a sense of control over their lives and circumstances. (Bolt, 2004). The patient who feels involved and has sense of control will respond to illness, and hospitalization more than those who little hope. the division will put an additional importance on strengthening the feelings of self control with the patient. The substance abuse counselor will be responsible for the coordination of the use of recovery programs for the substance abuse patient. In addition, the substance abuse counselor will work with a social worker to ensure after care plans are in place upon patient discharge. Those suffering from addiction must receive intervention which addresses both their physical dependence as well as psychological dependence. Withdrawal must be approached carefully and on a case specific level to ensure the least amount of physical discomfort and psychological distress. The substance abuse counselor will develop a plan of initial detoxification for the client which is case appropriate implementing various methods of treatment including medical assistance when necessary. readiness for change will be assessed prior to beginning treatment. The group sessions will enable to patient to identify with other individual’s also in the recovery process which can inspiration and hope to the patient. Individual therapy will aid in the development of coping skills and reduce relapse potential by reducing stress levels and increasing patient confidence. The substance abuse counselor will develop a stress management plan involving relaxation exercises and cognitive restructuring to aid the patient in his or her ability to develop constructive and realistic thought patterns related to his or her recovery. (Sarafino, 2006). The duties of the inpatient only psychologist will include coordination of outpatient care for the recovering addict, working with the chronic, terminal or acute patient to facilitate effective coping skills and adjustment skills and providing patient preparation training prior to medical procedures. Psychological preparation for surgery will include special attention to developing a sense of patient control over their experience. The psychologist will use age appropriate methods of educating the patient about their procedure to reduce anxiety levels. These methods may include audio, video recordings or books for children. Coping skills for the inpatient will be developed through working with the psychologists to identify strategies beneficial to the patient. These strategies may include the implementation of distraction techniques, strengthening relaxation techniques, imagery methods and biofeedback. The psychologists will use an operant approach to treatment when necessary. (Sarafino, 2006). The psychologist will also perform an initial pain assessment of each patient and develop a recommendation for patient pain management which will be forwarded to the pain management specialist for cases involving chronic pain or which may be complicated by aggravating circumstances such as a patient identified as a substance abuser or who is in recovery. The child psychologist will have duties which include collaboration with local schools to encourage the of various health education programs for school aged children. These programs would include nutritional education and exercise programs which would promote healthy behavior. In addition, the psychologist would work with the school to identify areas of special need for education. The child psychologist will be responsible for working with the child to reduce stress and anxiety levels during patient hospitalization. Particular attention will be paid to avoid separation distress in the event of the parent or guardians absence. The child psychologist will work with the patient prior to hospitalization with the goal of educating the patient about their upcoming hospitalization and / or procedures in the attempt to reduce feelings of anxiousness. The psychologist will also tour the hospital with the patient to familiarize the patient with the surroundings. (Sarafino, 2006). The psychologist will also be responsible for coordinating group sessions in which children that are able to can interact with other children on a regular basis in a community room designed for children. During these group sessions the psychologist will be available to observe and assess any noticeable behavioral or physical difficulties which may need attention and will then consult with other members of the division to address these needs. The child psychologist will visit with each child regularly and work closely with the family, physicians, surgeons and other division members to ensure minimal stress for the child during their illness or procedure. The adult psychologist will be responsible for psychological preparations for adults prior to medical procedures and surgery, diagnosis of stress disorders, implementing any necessary stress-relief interventions and working with the patient to enhance coping skills and promote successful patient adjustment to chronic or terminal illness. The psychologist will also work with any other divisions when necessary in the attempt to provide optimal pain management, stress reduction and emotional well-being of the patient. Should the patient require complex pain management methods for their illness the adult psychologist will make a recommendation to the pain management specialist. The psychologist will work closely with the patient on an individual level as well as providing services to family members who may need help in dealing with a terminally or chronically ill loved one. In cases involving terminal illness the psychologist will discuss hospice care, living will arrangements and other legal issues regarding the care of the patient and final stage preparations. Our final will utilize a psychologist trained in patient pain management. By effectively reducing or eliminating pain in the patient the patient will be more motivated to adhere to medical regimens, will maintain an optimistic attitude and maintain a greater sense of hope regarding their illness or recovery. (The Health Psychology Network, 2008). In cases involving patients who require extensive pain management for illness, or procedures which result in pain not easily managed, chronic, or in the event the patient is a known substance abuser or recovering addict where careful attention needs to be paid to the plan of treating the patients pain this psychologist will be utilized to develop the most beneficial method of treatment for the pain will often be treated with pharmaceutical methods psychologists finds appropriate for the case. In an effort to reduce the likelihood of dependence the psychologist will examine all possible methods of pain treatment for ongoing relief. Narcotic treatment plans will be closely monitored by the specialist and when the patient will be switched to non narcotic methods involving the NSAID drugs or over the counter pain relievers. the specialist will recommend other pain relief and management methods including physical therapy, relaxation training, cognitive and massage therapy while also working on an individual level with the patient to enhance coping skills. (The Health Psychology Network, 2008). In conclusion, the patient is an unique individual, and while health care has been successful in treating patient’s physical illnesses without the added benefit of psychology, it does not mean that psychology is not needed. Psychology is very important when considering an individuals health and treating the “whole” patient. Each patient has their own thoughts and feelings that are related in some way, shape or form to their health. To treat the “whole” patient we must not ignore the emotional health. By incorporating psychology into total health care we are assured of the fact that there will be a better outcome for patients. Hope, sometimes the only thing we have to bring us through darkness, is essential to patient’ attitude and behavior. (Bolt, 2004). References 1 .Bolt, M. (2004).
