Question

What is the take-home message of the article? 

List 3 mental health issues that YOU perceive to be “women’s issues.” Why are these perceived to be “women’s issues”? How might these issues affect men, directly or indirectly? Be sure that you are listing mental health issues. If you are unsure about whether the issue is classified as mental health, do some research to be sure. 

  1. List 3 mental health issues that YOU perceive to be “men’s issues.” Why are these perceived to be “men’s issues”? How might these issues affect women, directly or indirectly? 
  2. Consider the three mental health issues that you listed as being “women’s issues.” If you or a male member of your family had one of these conditions, how might that affect their health-seeking behaviors? Alternately, if you or a female member of your family had a mental health issue perceived as a “men’s issue,” how might that affect their health-seeking behaviors? 

Break the stereotypes- why are these issues not simply “women’s” or “men’s” mental health issues? Personal examples or experiences are encouraged.

Question

Individuals with personality disorders often find it difficult to overcome the enduring patterns of thought and behavior that they have thus far experienced and functioned with in daily life. Even when patients are aware that personality-related issues are causing significant distress and functional impairment and are open to counseling, treatment can be challenging for both the patient and the therapist. For this Assignment, you examine specific personality disorders and consider therapeutic approaches you might use with clients.

THE ASSIGNMENT:

Succinctly, in address the following:

  • Briefly describe the personality disorder you selected, including the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria.
  • Explain a therapeutic approach and a modality you might use to treat a client presenting with this disorder. Explain why you selected the approach and modality, justifying their appropriateness.
  • Next, briefly explain what a therapeutic relationship is in psychiatry. Explain how you would share your diagnosis of this disorder with the client in order to avoid damaging the therapeutic relationship. Compare the differences in how you would share your diagnosis with an individual, a family, and in a group session.

Question

A research report is based on practical research that is organized in a logical order. This is a brief Question of the research conducted. The report should be objective, treat data confidentially, use APA, show originality, provide findings, and attempt to solve problems and state implications. This process allows one to add to the body of literature on a specific topic. When you follow this formula of writing, you can have greater impact by disseminating your findings.

For example, imagine that you completed a study that explored mental health outcomes for survivors of sexual assault. Your results show that survivors suffer from depression, PTSD, anxiety, and hostility. Writing about the results would help professionals who read your report to further understand the needs of sexual assault survivors.

For this Discussion, you identify areas in a research report, identify a research article that is well written and includes all areas of a research report, and explain how being able to write a research report will help you contribute to social work knowledge.

Question

Population Health in Saudi Arabia (110 points)

Leaders must stay abreast of healthcare trends in order to best serve the population they are supporting. In recent decades, disease threats in Saudi Arabia have shifted from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases. The high prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles and cardiovascular disease risk factors in the adult Saudi population support the need for enhanced CQI programs in the population health arena. Saudi Vision 2030 has a major focus on healthcare such as primary disease prevention and improving lifestyles.

Using the Saudi Digital Library, locate and read three scholarly journal articles on the role of utilizing CQI initiatives to improve population health in Saudi Arabia.

Based on your readings, prepare a PowerPoint presentation describing your approach to implementing CQI for a specific population health need, such as hypertension, diabetes, preventative screenings, etc. Explain how as a leader you would engage key stakeholders. Analyze how the key objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program within the Vision Realization Program of Saudi Vision 2030 supports population health.
