Discussion Significant steps to protect residents

Interpret research, bringing the nursing perspective, alongside perspectives of their administrative colleagues, for policy makers and stakeholders.InstructionsConsider the following scenario:In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, state Governors took significant steps to protect residents, including the most vulnerable populations, nursing home residents.

In Oklahoma, Governor Kevin Stitt issued policy which required any “staffer” entering a nursing home to produce a negative COVID-19 test result.Place yourself in the role of a nursing home administrator in this situation, and respond to the following: What are the gaps in this policy? (Policy is italicized above).

Does scientific evidence support this approach? Why or why not? Because this is mandated by the state, your facility must comply. Briefly explain how you will ensure compliance, while maintaining integrity of evidence-based practice.Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, ORDER THROUGH BOUTESSAY

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized.

Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12-point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. How do Eating Disorders affect people long term?

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, and double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting a hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print it out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Discussion Social Emotional Intelligence Table

Social Emotional Intelligence Power SkillsScenarioSelf-Awareness:

Mindfulness

Identifying emotions

Assertiveness

I work at the emergency department of a level 5 health facility. Majority of the patients received into the hospital go through the emergency department, particularly persons with complicated illnesses. The importance of self-awareness in improving the nurse-patient relationship in my experience cannot be overemphasized. Patient P.A was a 28-year-old obese African American lady who presented to the emergency department with difficulty in breathing. Her examination revealed a respiratory rate of 23 breaths per minute, blood pressure of 124/87 mmHg, temperature of 36.60C and oxygen saturation of 88 %. Auscultation revealed wheezing in both right and left lungs with no added sounds. Her presentation showed classical signs and symptoms of acute asthmatic exacerbation, but I was assertive to run diagnostic lab tests (Younas et al., 2020). The chest expiratory spirometry revealed an FEV1/FVC ratio of 0.68, which was moderately reduced. I was mindful of her respiratory distress and started her on inhaled salbutamol immediately. I learned that she was diagnosed with asthma at 18 years and started on oral prednisolone but had exposed herself to cat fur before her current exacerbation. I was becoming angry at why she should expose herself to well-known allergens but I identified my emotions, controlled them and explained to her why it was important to avoid triggers for her condition.Interpersonal communication:

Active Listening

Relationship Building

Caring & Consideration

While working at the emergency department, I had to maintain proper eye contact while observing other communication cues such as facial expressions, gesture and posture (Sibiya, 2018). During consultation, I could tell we were both active listeners as marked by the questions she raised. I was concerned why she had experienced another exacerbation whereas she had medication. On learning her triggers, I advised her to avoid pet fur and other allergens. Also, I promised to consult with other care team members to determine whether she would require an increment in the dosage.Executive Function:

Shifting

Selective attention

Inhibition

Shifting encompasses individual capacity to switch between tasks and strategies. At the emergency department, my experience required shifting from observing vital signs to administering medication and monitoring the therapeutic effects plus potential side effects. Selective attention comprises focusing on specific tasks while ignoring irrelevant information. Patient P.A was particularly talkative and I had to concentrate on details that were relevant to her medical history. At instances, I had to apply leading questions to derive the information required. Inhibition is a professional’s capacity to voluntarily suppress the dominant response. I exhibited inhibition when I was agitated during the first phase of the consultation process, in which P.A was giving irrelevant information. The agitation developed since at the emergency department my responsibility includes attending to the needs of multiple critical patients, requiring fast medical service. Nonetheless, I suppressed the agitation on recalling that therapeutic conversation is part of the patient’s medical needs, prompting me to pay full attention.Social Awareness:

Empathy

Service ethic

Organizational awareness

I portrayed empathy by recognizing, comprehending and attending to the emotions and perspectives of patient P.A. Among her worries was that her asthmatic attack was due to witchcraft which is part of the superstitions surrounding her ethnic upbringing. I listened attentively to her views, without unnecessarily disregarding her opinion, and explained to her the scientific basis and pathophysiology of asthma. The information she gained enabled her to understand how her medication worked. Service ethics is the professional’s capacity to comprehend and respond to patients’ needs. I explained to P.A the basis of her illness to assist her deal with the superstitions and also enable her understand how her medication worked. Organizational awareness constitutes comprehension of how a system works. I referred P.A to a general physician who would recommend to her the most effective strategies of managing her condition. The physician would also provide her with more information regarding her state and the most recent advances in management.Self-Management:

Positive affirmation

Maintenance of healthy-work balance

Self-care is a diverse subject, incorporating multiple aspects. In my experience at the emergency department, I realized positive self-affirmation resulted in positive attitudes that lead to increased self-satisfaction and stronger interprofessional relationships (Nazareth et al., 2018). I also learned to maintain a healthy work-life balance to avoid overworking and related exhaustion or stress. I engaged in breaks via activities such as having lunch, strolls and calling loved ones that enabled me to stay sharp, motivated and healthy. Maintaining the balance is instrumental in avoiding psychological complications such as depression, anxiety, insomnia and heart diseases.

Discussion: The Application of Data to Problem-Solving NURS 6051 Example Solution

For decades, different institutions have been acquiring information and using it to solve various problems. Small businesses, as well as large enterprises, have also been doing the same. In the healthcare sphere, nurses have been using different methods to obtain data, which is then analyzed and later used to find solutions for various problems in the sector. As McConigle and Mastrian (2017) mentioned, the nursing profession is information-intensive. Without collecting relevant data, the nursing sector would be unable to deliver quality services to patients, thereby crippling the entire healthcare realm.

Informatics Clinical Application

While working as a Clinical Nurse Coordinator, sometimes back, data collection was a vital part of my operation. On the 28-bed telemetry floor, I realized that whenever I approached the management without adequate data to support my ideas about solving various problems at the workplace, the concepts would be brushed aside.

However, the administration was always happy to listen to my thoughts on something if my presentation had adequate data to support the concepts. Therefore, no matter how good your thoughts are, they do not mean a lot unless you have gathered enough facts to support them. That is why the data collection and analysis process is vital to the nursing practice realm. 

Data helps to support arguments conclusively (Sweeney, 2017). Currently, there is an idea that I am trying to put on the table that involves proving to the management that the facility needs more nurses on the telemetry floor to free-charge nurses for the numerous patient tasks that they handle during the shifts. Charge nurses ensure everything runs smoothly at a medical facility during a certain shift. They assume leadership during the hours that they are in charge.

Their clinical experience ensures that other nurses in the department deliver quality care to the patients. If a nurse fails to deliver, they are supposed to report them to the management. They are also responsible for coming up with work schedules, overseeing discharges and admissions, and helping to check up on patients.

In the 28-bed telemetry floor, charge nurses are too busy to oversee their real duties, primarily because there are not enough nurses in the department. Instead of playing the oversight role, they carry out the usual nursing tasks like administering medicine and checking up on patients occasionally. On a daily basis, the number of RNs versus patients is recorded and computerized. Presently, I have data collected over the previous month.

My preliminary analysis of the data reveals that the number of patients seems to be overwhelming the nurses. Many patients are being admitted to the floor, forcing the charge nurse to leave their actual oversight duties to attend to patients. Things can easily slip out of hand in such scenarios since no one oversees the various patient care processes. I have also been collecting patient feedback during the period, based on which I have concluded that patient satisfaction is dismal whenever the charge nurse is involved in patient care.

Informatic competence helps to alter clinical decisions positively and eventually improve patient outcomes (McConigle & Mastrian, 2017). Data collected over six months will be adequate to fully convince the management of the need for a change at the facility to improve patient outcomes as well as satisfaction.

As the nursing profession evolves, technology is bound to influence patient outcomes significantly (Nagle et al., 2017). The need for EHR competence is also going to rise. EHR makes data collection and analysis easier. As a young practitioner, I plan on becoming familiar with the various technology-based methods of data collection and analysis to improve myself as a nurse and ultimately advance the nursing profession.

Discussion: The Application of Data to Problem-Solving

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.

Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.

In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
• Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.

By Day 3 of Week 1

Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

Assignment: The Nurse Leader as Knowledge Worker

The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?

Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.

In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.

NURS 6051 Module 2: The Role of the Informatics Specialist in Healthcare (Weeks 3-4)

Discussion: Interaction Between Nurse Informaticists and Other Specialists

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.

Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the evolution of nursing informatics from a science to a nursing specialty.
• Consider your experiences with nurse Informaticists or technology specialists within your healthcare organization.

By Day 3 of Week 3

Post a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.

By Day 6 of Week 3

Respond to at least two of your colleagues* on two different days, offering one or more additional interaction strategies in support of the examples/observations shared or by offering further insight to the thoughts shared about the future of these interactions.

Assignment: The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies

In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

To Prepare:

• Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.
• Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages not including the title and reference page)

In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:

• Describe the project you propose.
• Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.
• Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.
• Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.
• Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.
• Use APA format and include a title page and reference page.
• Use the Safe Assign Drafts to check your match percentage before submitting your work.

The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies Example Solution

The ultimate goal of every healthcare practice is to provide the best services to the patients. These goals are gauged and reflected in the quality of the health care services. Patient care efficiency and safety are two elements of quality in healthcare. The role of healthcare technology in improving patient care efficiency, timeliness, and outcomes cannot be overemphasized (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2021). 

In the medical and surgical units in healthcare delivery, bed-bound patients require timely monitoring to reduce their risks of pressure sores and venous thromboembolism. Turning of patients and change of positions are some of the nursing interventions used on bedbound patients to prevent hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) (Pickham et al., 2018). 

Regular turning every two hours in the inpatient units requires proper scheduling. Using nursing informatics can make this process easier, timely, and safe. This paper aims to describe a project proposal to utilize nursing informatics to prevent hospital-acquired pressure injuries through regular turning.

The Project

This project will employ the use of electronic health records and wearable device technology to monitor and implement their nursing plan. In an inpatient unit, different patients require different recurrent interventions to maintain their health and improve recovery. The project will require that nurses coordinate with other healthcare professionals through the institution’s electronic health record system to make decisions and plan care. 

In this project, bedbound patients will be monitored remotely through the use of healthcare technologies technology. Patients who cannot ambulate or are not physically active because they are mentally or physically debilitated in the two inpatient units will be identified by the shift nurses and monitored through the electronic health records systems. The nurse will explain the role of technology to patients or their families. 

Because different patients will have different schedules for turning, the technology will alert the shift nurses through the electronic health records system. The monitoring will take place at the nurse’s station. The patient will have a sensor technology that will be connected to the EHR through the institution’s local area network (LAN). During that shift, the nursing staff will then implement the two-hourly turning plans after the alert reminder by the system.

Stakeholders

This project will involve various stakeholders involved in direct and indirect patient care. The project will require input from the charge nurses of the two units. The charge nurses will offer the necessary leadership strategies to ensure their shift nurses work as a team to achieve patient care goals. The nurse informaticist will be needed for the success of the project’s technological and care delivery aspects.

The informaticist will ensure the planning for compatibility and usability of the system are given priority for efficiency of use. This project will also impact the patients and their families as they are the immediate recipients of care in the institution. Their feedback and participation will be crucial determinants of the project’s success and the care delivered.

The institution’s procurement officers and accountants will also be impacted because of the need for their services during the purchase and implementation of the technologies. This project will also impact physicians and surgeons because they will be required to prescribe turning and ambulation for these patients and follow them up.

Patient Outcomes and Care Efficiencies

Efficiency in any process is a measurable outcome. The nurses’ input and the output of the care are essential elements of the efficiency of the care delivery. The cost and time spent in providing the care should be commensurate with the cost and time incurred by the patient during this care process. This project will reduce the time spent on physical monitoring of patients requiring two-hour turning (Pickham et al., 2018; Pickham et al., 2018). 

The project will personalize the time for the patient’s two-hourly turning and center the schedule around the patient’s needs. Therefore, the project will enhance patient-centered care by avoiding the generalization of nursing plans for all patients in the unit. The alerts from this new system of planning will reduce the risks of medical errors by ensuring that the patient receives nursing care in time without fail. 

This new clinical decision support system will minimize errors due to omission because, at the same time, the nurse will be performing the two-hour turning, they will also have the opportunity to check physically on the patient through physical examination. The sensor technology will be able to alert the system on extra findings such as vital signs.

Required Technology

The project will require two technological systems interconnected through the institution’s networks and alert system. Sensory technology will be enabled through a wearable device that will detect lateral and vertical motion of the patient’s body and monitor the duration of inactivity (Renganathan et al., 2019). Duration of inactivity exceeding two hours will be provided an alert to the nurse at the station for prompt action. 

By monitoring the patient self turns and nurses turning, this technology will reduce the time the patient spends in inactivity (Schutt et al., 2018). The electronic health records will ensure that the patient data and records of interventions, inclusion physical turning, are available efficiently to every nurse attending to these patients at any time of the day. 

Therefore, computer systems will have constant connectivity, and a network will be required to implement this project. The entire clinical decision support system (CDSS) will require portable computers and tablets for easier access anywhere in the unit.

Project Team

The project team will consist of a project manager, the two charge nurses in the medical and surgical units, the institution’s procurement officer, and the nurse manager. The project manager will be a nurse informaticist who will coordinate all project activities. The charge nurses will offer collaborative communication between nurses and other team members and provide timely feedback on the progress and usability of the system. 

The procurement officer will be involved in the financial planning and purchase of additional technology to support the EHR. The nurse manager will offer the administrative support and approval of the institution’s administration before implementing the project and oversee that the legal aspects of the project are maintained.

Conclusion

The care of bedbound patients will be made better through this new system of alert system and monitoring. This project aims at improving patient care outcomes and efficiency through a clinical decision support system. The CDSS will include sensory technology using a wearable device and connected to the EHR that will provide a time alert for two-hourly turning for each bedbound patient. The technology will reduce the time spent monitoring these patients and improve monitoring efficiency. The project team will consist of a nurse informaticist as the project manager, charge nurses, and nurse manager.

NURS 6051 Module 3: Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) (Week 5)

Discussion: Big Data Risks and Rewards

When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few texts or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.

From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.

As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.
• Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.

By Day 3 of Week 5

Post a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.

By Day 6 of Week 5

Respond to at least two of your colleagues* on two different days by offering one or more additional mitigation strategies or further insight into your colleagues’ assessment of big data opportunities and risks.

NURS 6051 Module 4: Technologies Supporting Applied Practice and Optimal Patient Outcomes (Weeks 6-8)

Discussion: Healthcare Information Technology Trends

Throughout history, technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in its usage and development. The internet, for example, was originally developed to share research before becoming a staple of work and entertainment.

But technology—new and repurposed—will undoubtedly continue to be a driver of healthcare information. Informaticists often stay tuned to trends to monitor what the next new technology will be or how the next new idea for applying existing technology can benefit outcomes.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your healthcare organization’s use of technology and offer a technology trend you observe in your environment.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.
• Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.
• Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery.

By Day 3 of Week 6

Post a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described.

Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described.

Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.

By Day 6 of Week 6

Respond to at least two of your colleagues* on two different days, offering additional/alternative ideas regarding opportunities and risks related to the observations shared.

Assignment: Literature Review: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies

New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.

Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.

In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
• Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems.

Discussion: specific evidence-based practice proposal topic Instructions

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized.

Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

SOC 449 Week 1 Social Phenomena Sample Essay

A social phenomenon can be defined as behavior that influences or is influenced by a client. When dealing with a client it is important to understand their behavior and why they are behaving like that. In this essay, the social phenomenons apparent in the video, “Home for the Holidays” will be explained.

As well as theories a social worker needs to be familiar with in order to help a client in their situation. This essay will also include the ways a social worker can use the theories to help the client work through their social phenomena and identify the appropriate principles that align with ethical practice in the video “Home for the Holidays”. Discussions Hanging with Hailey Case Study

Social Phenomenons that were apparent and presented to the social worker, in this case, were the couple trying to figure out where they should spend the holidays at. Ana doesn’t feel comfortable at Jackie’s house because she feels Jackie’s family isn’t as welcome of the fact they are gay. Ana asks why should she have to compromise herself for Jackie’s family. Discussions Hanging with Hailey Case Study

Jackie’s behavior towards going home is a little selfish because she doesn’t want her family to kick her out because she is gay. However, Ana is trying to explain to Jackie that if she talks to her family about being gay they are more likely to be more open to the idea of them as a couple Discussions Hanging with Hailey Case Study.

A social worker should be familiar with the psychosocial theory, systems theory, Pargament’s theory of religious coping, and lastly be comfortable with the ecological systems model. The psychosocial theory, “focuses on the ways that individuals are shaped by and react to their social environment” (Campbellsville, 2019). This theory can help the client work through their social phenomenas by showing them the social environment is having a negative or positive effect on their behavior and how they are being shaped.

An example from the video can be when Jackie is talking about the environment she grew up in and Ana points out how she is so much like her family. She is like her family because she grew up surrounded by them. Systems theory, “states that behavior is influenced by a variety of factors that work together as a system” (Campbellsville, 2019). This theory can be used by the social worker to figure out the factors that are working together to influence the client’s behavior Discussions Hanging with Hailey Case Study.

Pargament’s theory of religious coping may be another theory a social worker should be familiar with as it might help people who are dealing with tough issues find their answers in religion. This theory has five major functions, “to discover meaning, to garner control, to acquire comfort by virtue of closeness to God, to achieve closeness with others and to transform life” (Xi, 2016). Lastly, it may be helpful for a social worker to understand a client’s ecological systems model.

This model makes, “a close conceptual fit with the “person-in-environment” perspective that dominated social work…” (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, & Strom-Godfried, 2016). By using the ecological systems model the social worker will be able to understand the client’s background and their surrounding environment.

The NASW Code of Ethics, “is intended to serve as a guide to the everyday professional conduct of social workers” (NASW, 2020). There are six values in the NASW Code of Ethics which include, service, social justice, dignity and worth of a person, importance of human relationship, integrity and, competence Discussions Hanging with Hailey Case Study. In this video “Home for the Holidays”, the principles that align with ethical practice in this case study include service, social justice, the importance of human relationship, and integrity.

The first service is important in this case because a social worker’s primary goal is to help people in need and address any social problems they are dealing with. Next social justice is important in this case because the couple is part of a discriminated group Discussions Hanging with Hailey Case Study. This case also aligns with the principle of the importance of human relationships. The couple was sacrificing their relationship for other relationships, causing a weak relationship between Ana and Jackie.

The social worker was able to see that and thought of ways to help make their relationship stronger. Lastly, integrity, the social worker behaved in a trustworthy manner and communicated openly to the clients about what would and wouldn’t be shared Discussions Hanging with Hailey Case Study.

Social workers need to be able to identify how social contractions influence a client’s life. Each client will have different ways of expressing social phenomenas happening in their life and it is important to understand their behavior and why they are behaving like that.
