Dr. Joyzy Pius Egunjobi, 2016-05-18 In recent times, there has been attention-shift in the approach to treatment of health related issues from just biological, psychological, social or spiritual approaches to a holistic approach of an integrated biopsychosocial-spirituality.

| bio psycho social spiritual assessment: Spiritual Assessment in Healthcare Practice Professor Wilfred McSherry, Dr Linda Ross, 2010 There has been a groundswell of interest in and recognition of the importance the spiritual part of a person's life has to play in coping with/recovery from illness as well as in the attainment and maintenance of health, wellbeing and quality of life. Addressing the spiritual part of life is now a key part of the health care professional's job but this raises the question of how this part of life can be assessed and catered for and how health care professionals might be equipped for this task.

| bio psycho social spiritual assessment: Evidence Based Practice Process in Social Work Antonio R. Garcia, Jacqueline Corcoran, 2023-11 As a social worker, what would you do? How would you begin to address the issues of concern in this case? What questions would you ask and how would you ask said questions in a way that evokes clients' true feelings and experiences? What information would you want to gather from them? What would your assessment entail? How do you rely upon assessment data to search for the best available evidence to find interventions to address issues of concern? What if more than one evidence-informed intervention would work. What if there are no interventions that address need, effective and culturally applicable? What else should I do to inform intervention and case planning? What if I don't have the capacity or training to implement evidence-informed interventions to mitigate risk factors for this case and other cases I am assigned to? What if I am unable to implement the intervention to fidelity? How do I ensure what I am doing will meet client goals and address their issues of concern? How do I grapple with simultaneously assessing client values or preference, best available evidence, and my own judgement and biases? These are just some of the questions that even the most seasoned social workers struggle to address-- |

| bio psycho social spiritual assessment: Social Work Live Carol Dorr, 2014-09-05 Social Work Live accesses multiple approaches to student learning: experiential, visual, and auditory. Carol Dorr emphasizes the important role of self-reflection and critical thinking in social work practice by paying special attention to process recordings and observing how the social worker reflects on her own reactions in the moment with the client.

Social Work Live encourages a constructivist perspective to practice that calls attention to the many possible interpretations and approaches to working with clients. The classroom provides an ideal opportunity for students to explore with each other different ways of making meaning out of clients' stories and intervening with them. |
| bio psycho social spiritual assessment: Safe Passage Mark Lazenby PhD, Ruth McCorkle RN, PhD, Daniel P. Sulmasy MD, PhD, 2014-01-08 The study and practice of end-of-life care has seen an increasing understanding of the need for care that integrates clinical, psychosocial, spiritual, cultural, and ethical expertise. Yet, no one existing volume pulls together perspectives from a diverse array of religions with ethical dilemmas and clinical problems in view. Safe Passage coaches clinicians and others on the front lines of care on understanding how to incorporate different traditions of thinking into the most difficult of moments around the end of life. The book is structured around five major moments of realization - when disease progresses, when emergencies happen, when dying will be a long process, the time of death, and when grieving begins. Each decision point is introduced with a research summary and an extensive case example that describes disease processes, health care delivery possibilities, and the end-of-life dilemmas involved so as to apply across the varying cultural, socio-economic, and spiritual contexts. The case example is followed by a clinical commentary written by a palliative care specialist, an ethical commentary written by an ethicist, and three short essays written by religious thinkers of different traditions. Each situation is concluded by remarks on potential approaches that respect religious and spiritual beliefs, values, and practices at the end of life across all contexts, and a bibliography. The five decision points are bookended by an introductory section that explores broad historical and cultural perspectives and a conclusion section that summarizes the book and provides guidance for further reading and study. |

| bio psycho social spiritual assessment: Essential Health Assessment Janice M Thompson, 2017-09-19 This practical, real-world approach provides all of the how-tos, what-tos, when-tos, and why-tos you need to master the art and science of assessment in a well-organized, well-illustrated text that makes the material easier to learn now and reference later. The book simplifies the approach to assessment in two ways. First, it focuses on the normal and the normal variants of the adult, child, elderly, and pregnant patients that you’ll see most frequently in practice.

Second, assessment is presented as a linear and consistent process; so you are able to undertake the same steps in the same order to ensure that you don’t miss anything. |

| bio psycho social spiritual assessment: Aging Education Nieli Langer, Terry Tirrito, 2004 Aging Education provides educators in aging studies with a unique text that responds to the paucity of instructional strategies and teaching materials. Editors Nieli Langer and Terry Tirrito meet the challenge of educating and training students and providers of service to an aging population in all the various instructional programs (gerontology/geriatrics degrees) and non-credit workshops currently offered in different settings (hospitals, nursing homes, professional associations, in-service training, etc). By developing and explaining a multidisciplinary approach to working with older adults in areas related to health, education, ethics, law, cultural competency for a multicultural population, translating social policy into practice, spirituality, and human services, the editors provide an imaginative and thought-provoking unmet need for gerontology educators by providing them with teaching and practice strategies in aging education. |
