Challenges for Professional Care of Advanced Dementia

Challenges for professional care of advanced dementia The research purpose of this study was clear, as it was intended to report on the challenges for health professionals in caring for people with advanced dementia living in long term care facilities. This study used a qualitative methodology based on action research. â€Å"Action research collects information from key stakeholders and provides ongoing feedback to participants, thereby facilitating change that improves practice. † (Chang et al. , 2009, p. 42). The essence of the study aimed to expose the challenges for key professional providers of care for people with advanced dementia. â€Å"Descriptions of these challenges provide professional carers and policy makers with insights into the unique needs of the person with advanced dementia†. (Chang et al. , 2009, p. 42) Participants were selected from professional providers in Australia from 2003-2006. All of the participants cared for patients with advanced dementia in their profession. They brought a comparative perspective to the success of the study. There were several focus groups compiled that included general practitioners, palliative care speciality staff, palliative care volunteer managers and volunteers, aged or dementia specialist health care professionals, and residential aged care facility staff. All participants were highly qualified with all having more than ten years experience in their field. The sample was non-random, interviewing 13 participants that were recruited from staff of 10 residential aged care facilities. There was a total of 20 in-depth interviews. Within the sample, five of them large high care facilities, two medium-sized high care (51-74 beds), one small high care (< 50 beds), one medium sized low care (hostel) facility and one small low care facility. The Director of Nurses nominated the the staff for the interviews. â€Å"The sampling was purposive, with expertise in palliative dementia care of the selection criterion†. (Chang et al. , 2009, p. 43) The data collection process was adequately described. It may have been beneficial with respect to gaining deeper personal insight, if the researchers had sought to answer more probing questions in the approach. The researchers used semi-structured questions with focus groups that lasted 1. 5-2 hours. The role of the researcher was to find question that were critiqued by an expert panel. The questions seemed to be based on pre-defined information given to the researcher agreed on by the panel. The information was gathered by interview questions in the focus groups. The uestions seemed to be based on pre-defined information given to the researcher agreed on by the focus groups. The ethical considerations of participants were followed using standard procedures and approved by area health service ethics review committee. Informed consents were used as well as anonymity of patients and participants. â€Å"The data analysis was by constant comparative method†. (Chang et al. , 2009, p. 43). They used five focus groups (total n = 24) and 20 follow-up individual interviews (Chang et al. , 2009, p. 41). The concepts collected were organized and compared with other ideas that emerged from the data. Regarding the background of the study, it was noted that there are many behavioural symptoms and comorbiditics associated with advanced dementia. In the last 12 months of life, it also was noted that many symptoms occur that need to be managed by decision makers such as family members. The researchers noted that during this time, the complex care decisions, such as whether to administer antibiotics and whether to place the patient in a facility or hospital are important decisions that must be validated. There are a number of other factors that could effect the study, yet were not addressed by the researchers. The catagories, themes and findings presented a whole picture and yielded a meaningful picture of the study by attesting to the complexity of caring for people with advanced dementia living in residential aged care facilities, and the challenges of professionals. Participants did agree that assessing a verbally non-communicative person is difficult. Physicians found that examining patients also was difficult. Skills deficit were noted. One-third of participants noted a reluctance to use appropriate amounts of analgesia regarding pain. There was a clear connection between the data and the participants regarding the management of dementia-related behaviors. The data collected did attest to the complexity of caring for patients with advanced dementia who reside in residential care facilities and the challenges that they bring to health care professionals. Researchers identified the philosophical and theoretical basis for the study. Educating aged care professionals about early palliation might improve care outcomes for residents†. Aged care staff need a strong rationale for their decisions. † (Chang et al. , 2009, p. 45) This study highlighted the challenges in meeting the demands of caring for patients with advanced dementia who reside in residential care facilities. The researchers found there was a number of factors that could effect the aged care of residents with advanced de mentia; however challenges will always remain. All of the participants found that is was very difficult to assess patients with advanced dementia. They found that these patients were unable to report symptoms such as pain and exhibited many different behavioral issues. There were study limitations regarding the sample size and the non-random sampling. The sample size was small and not representative of a population owing to that size. Other challenges and limitations may have been noted if different questions had been asked of the patients. In conclusion, the researchers found that it may be crucial to use continuity of care when caring for these patients. According to some of the participants, their lack of knowledge about palliative care was limited. This study did highlight the challenges that key professional care encounter when caring for patients with advanced dementia. Increase in education will provide a better understanding of the needs of patients with advanced dementia. Key professional will be able to initiate an appropriate care plan if the clinical progress of dementia is described.

Environment has two factors i. e. external and internal. environmental factors internal to the firm are Strengths [S] or weaknesses [W]. External factors are classified as Opportunities [O] Threats [T]. So the analysis of these four factors is abbreviated, called SWOT ANALYSIS. â€Å"What is good in the present is Satisfactory, good in the future is an Opportunity; bad in the present is a Fault and bad in the future is a Threat. This was called the SOFT analysis†. ? The SWOT analysis is an extremely useful tool for understanding and decision-making for all sorts of situations in business and organizations. ? S WOT Analysis is a simple but powerful framework for analyzing one's company's Strengths and Weaknesses, and the Opportunities and Threats one face. SWOT Analysis is a tool for auditing an organization and its environment. It is the first stage of planning and let marketers to focus on key issues . ? INTERNAL ANALYSIS In this we study the capabilities of organization. This can be done by examining and analyzing organization's strengths and weaknesses. ? EXTERNAL ANALYSIS It is actually the study of external environment of organization. In it we identify those keys which bring opportunities for your organization and those points which create threats or obstacles to our performance. SWOT ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK: Environmental Analysis | | | |  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  / | |  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   | | | |Internal Analysis  Ã‚  Ã‚   | |  Ã‚  Ã‚  External Analysis | | | |/   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   | |  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  / | | | |Strengths  Ã‚  Ã‚  Weaknesses  Ã‚  Ã‚   | |  Ã‚  Ã‚  Opportunities  Ã‚  Ã‚  Threats | | | || | | | |SWOT Matrix | | | Here a question arises that â€Å"What are strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats? STRENGTHS: A firm's strengths are its resources and capabilities that can be used as a basis for developing a competitive advantage. Examples of such strengths include: †¢ A new innovative product or service. †¢ Strong brand names. †¢ Good reputation among customers. †¢ Cost advantages from proprietary know-how. Exclusive access to high grade natural resources. †¢ Favorable access to distribution networks. †¢ Location of your business. †¢ Quality processes and procedures. †¢ Patents. †¢ Special market expertise. †¢ Any other aspect of business that adds value to product or services. Weaknesses: The absence of certain strengths may be viewed as a weakness. For example, each of the following may be considered w eaknesses: †¢ Poor quality products or services. †¢ A weak brand name. †¢ Poor reputation among customers. †¢ High cost structure. †¢ Lack of access to the best natural resources. †¢ Lack of access to key distribution channels. †¢ Location of your business. Undifferentiated products or services. †¢ Lack of patent protection. †¢ Lack of marketing expertise. In some cases, a weakness may be the flip side of strength. Take the case in which a firm has a large amount of manufacturing capacity. While this capacity may be considered a strength that competitors do not share, it also may be a considered a weakness if the large investment in manufacturing capacity prevents the firm from reacting quickly to changes in the strategic environment. Opportunities: The external environmental analysis may reveal certain new opportunities for profit and growth. Some examples of such opportunities include: †¢ A developing market. Moving into new market s for improved profits. †¢ A market vacated by ineffective competitor. †¢ An unfulfilled customer need. †¢ Arrival of new technologies. †¢ Loosening of regulations. †¢ Removal of international trade barriers. Threats: Changes in the external environmental also may present threats to the firm. Some examples of such threats include: †¢ Consumer tastes changes or shifts away from the firm's products. †¢ Substitute products. †¢ New regulations. †¢ increased trade barriers. †¢ A new competitor in your home market. †¢ Price wars with competitors. †¢ Competitor's superior access to channels of distribution. †¢ Innovative products or services by competitor. THE SWOT MATRIX: To develop strategies that take into account the SWOT profile, a matrix of these factors can be constructed. The SWOT matrix (also known as a TOWS Matrix) is shown below: SWOT / TOWS MATRIX: |   |Strengths |Weaknesses | | |S-O strategies |W-O strategies | |Opportunities | | | | |S-T strategies |W-T strategies | |Threats | | | †¢ S-O strategies pursue opportunities that are a good fit to the company's strengths. †¢ W-O strategies overcome weaknesses to pursue opportunities. S-T strategies identify ways that the firm can use its strengths to reduce its vulnerability to external threats. †¢ W-T strategies establish a defensive plan to prevent the firm's weaknesses from making it highly susceptible to external threats.

THREATS: CENTRAL ASIA: It was a tough task and a very challenging step for Telenor Corporation to start its network in Central ASIA because in these areas making the minds of people for buying a product is a tough task. Here people always refer the customized and local products In Asian countries the basic needs of the people are not fulfilled so they cannot afford a mobile. So it is a challenging task to motivate them to use mobile . CULTURE: The change between the cultures makes the greatest resistance. People do not trust the new especially western companies and also don’t accept their ways and strategies of businesses. COMPETITION WITH LOCAL MARKET: . Competition in a foreign country with local companies is a great threat as a single wrong step of not only the organization itself but the country can affect the whole business. ENVIRONMENT: The fluctuating and unstable situations i. e. political, economical, social situations of countries especially in central Asia really effect the growth, position, investment and profit level and service quality and availability.

Acupuncture relieves the body’s utilities and stimulates the natural self-healing progression by triggering particular anatomic points typically known as acupoints or acupuncture points. The most typical technique employed to stimulate acupuncture points is the injecting of fine, sterilized needles into specific site of the body. Electrical stimulation, heat, or pressure may promote more impact of acupuncture. Additional acupoint stimulation methods comprise of linaments, heat therapy or moxibustion, cupping, manual massage and the use of topical herbal medicines (Bruno, 2012). Customary Chinese Medicine is centered on an early philosophy that refers to the world and the body, in reference of two contrasting energies: yin and yang. If these energies happen to be in balance, then the body is healthy. Force, known as "qi" moves along particular passageways, named meridians, all over the body. This continuous movement of force maintains the yin and yang energies in balance. Nevertheless, if the movement of force gets jammed, the blockage can lead to illness, lack of function, or pain. Acupuncture treatment can cleared â€Å"qi† in the body and arouse function, inducing the physical, natural restoration reaction through numerous physiological systems. Contemporary studies have proved acupuncture’s impact on the cardiovascular system, immune systems and endocrine, nervous system and digestive system. Through stimulating the body’s different systems, acupuncture can assist to heal pain, and enhance sleep and a sense of comfort (Cim.ucsd, 201 5).

The unimaginable betrayal that overrides the true identity of some characters offers humor to the audience, obviously, a poor taste of humor nonetheless captivates in understanding the story. The case of Tiberius who had faith in Sejanus who exhibit mean character sums up to a humorous end and the effect is that it subverts the attention of the narrator towards rhetoric concepts. The intertwining conspiracies and proof of suspicion among major characters can be attributed to institutional changes. In the first place, the author confesses that Claudius himself writes the book but uses such a ploy to keep the audience yearning to hear something.

Since literature is the mirror in which the character of an individual is reflected, humor diffuses the contentious part of it. Humor also helps in breaking the monotony of the series of murders that characterize the power wrangles in which Claudius takes a central role. In essence, this work is composed of several literary tools that underlie the aggregate composition.

Hispanics, African-Americans and other cultural Term Paper

Hispanics, African-Americans and other cultural - Term Paper Example This term paper aims at describing the under representation of Hispanics, African-Americans and other cultural in mass media. Mass broadcasting have participated and will persist to perform a crucial function in the manner Americans observe African-Americans. As an outcome of the overwhelming broadcasting focus on misconduct, drug use, group violence, and other shapes of defiant social conduct between African-Americans, the broadcasting have promoted a distorted and malicious public opinion of African-Americans (Mastro and Greenberg 112). The description of African-Americans is a long period struggle in opposition to oppression and favoritism. The mass media have participated in perpetuating the consequences of this historical persecution and in influencing to African-Americans' ongoing position as second-class inhabitants. As an outcome, America has experienced from a profound doubt as to description of African-Americans. Despite this ethnic division, something indisputably the whit es concerning African-Americans has produced doubts concerning the white man's worth system (Mastro and Greenberg 113). Exploring how ethnic minorities are represented on TV is beneficial for two main reasons (Mastro and Greenberg 114). ... It has been recorded that television has turn out to be the â€Å"nation’s main story-teller† (Mastro and Greenberg 116). This term paper imitates earlier masterpiece by Mastro and Greenberg who discovered the illustration and portrayal of Caucasian, Latino and African American or black individuals on television. Mastro and Greenberg discovered that, Latinos were not represented on television compared to the African Americans and the Caucasians (116). They comprised of 3% of TV characters. Their study was significant because they described that Latino TV characters were not as destructively categorized as African American television character. Initial studies by Mastro and Robinson suggested that media metaphors and messages operate as a reasoning filter to aid how individuals represent the world. Others researchers have claimed that media has the â€Å"ability to reach the very remote areas of the human consciousness. If media images influence stereotypes, then ethnic minorities were negatively categorized on media is difficult. They noted that these negative stereotypes shaped how audiences think about ethnic minorities. Mastro and Robinson argued that media uninterruptedly supports views opinions over a long period (117). Proposing a culture hypothesis, Mastro and Robinson posited that media images update public feelings about the communal world (117). Specifically, fostering theory projected that oppressive exposure to mass media, TV in particular, formed how audiences saw the actual world. What such audiences believe as appropriate character portrayals, morals and philosophies are progressively in line with individuals presented on screen. Similarly, Lauzen and Dozier argued that mass media images, collectively with existed experience,

Should Poor People Be Provided With Food and Shelter Essay

Should Poor People Be Provided With Food and Shelter - Essay Example There are very few people that are philanthropic enough to help such people out and bring them out of their misery. On the other hand, there are other people that refuse to help such a miserable situation, and in turn create more problems for the poorer sections of society. However, despite being caught up in such situations, it is the right of every individual to be able to have food and shelter in order to survive. Food and shelter are the two necessities a person should have in order to be able to live life properly and if these are denied, then no man will be able to survive. Most people that are poor or living below the poverty line are not even able to afford square meals and provide their family with the same. They have many mouths to feed and an unstable source of income which forces many of them to even resort to actions like begging for food. Most of them do not have a house or a roof to live under and thus are subject to the worst kind of diseases. Even food and shelter be comes a distant dream for such people and they become socially excluded from a lifestyle of being able to achieve these basic resources from society. Thus, the question lies in whether or not such people should be provided with external assistance by others in order for them to be able to gain basic food supplies and a place to live in with their families. Governments in many countries provide the socially backward classes and poor people of the society with these basic amenities. There are a number of food programs taken up in such developing and under developed countries where poor people are given food grains so that they can sustain their lifestyle and be able to feed their families. In many parts of the world, the governments also build housing societies that have basic one room shelters where poor people can dwell. In most places, these houses turn into areas that are categorized as slums because of the unhygienic conditions that they form with time. It is important for people to given food and shelter because

I will attach the Topic and instruction - Essay Example 013).On the other hand the Democrats considered it as â€Å"nonsense† (Austin, 2013).They accused the Republicans of exploiting the voter-ID law to create hurdles for the poor citizens of Texas and the minorities. The Law involved the active participation of the Texas Legislature, Senate and House, Gov. Rick Perry, federal government and the U.S. Department of Justice. The Law was passed accordingly under the supervision of the Legislature of Texas after three legislative rounds and six years. The House approved its version in March, 101- 48. After contrasts between the Senate and House versions were resolved, both chambers approved the final version, in May, SB 14 and forwarded it to Gov. Rick Perry, who had announced the issue a crisis item at an earlier period in the session. Notwithstanding, more than a year and a full election cycle after its entry, the law is still not in effect, its incorporation first held up by the U.S. Division of Justice, then denied by a federal circuit court. Its extreme destiny was chosen by the U.S. Supreme Court. During the time of July 2011, Texas formally asked the Justice Department to "preclear" the law and permit it to become effective from Jan. 1, 2012. The federal government had 60 days to go for one out of the three alternatives: support the solicitation, deny it or request more data (The Texas Tribune, n.d .). The issue affected the women of Texas to a large extent since after marriage their surnames often get changed. While a few Americans headed to twitter to express their backing for the new voting regulations, others utilized the medium to whine about not having their vote numbered or being compelled to go through excessive complications, for instance putting signature on a sworn affidavit. Furthermore to underscore the perplexity that these laws have fashioned the nation over, a few voters didnt realize what sort of recognizable proof, if any, they required to produce. There are also accounts of poll workers asked to
