Counseling is helping process by which, we first understand the problem, and then help the people to understand their problem, and then we need to work together with them to find solution that is appropriate to their situation.
During challenging times, it can really help to have sufficient personal time with a compassionate, knowledgeable physician who is experienced in family medicine and has specialized training in counseling — who listens to you, and offers caring support and expert guidance.

A process aimed at encouraging people to want to be healthy, to know how to stay healthy, to do what they can individually and collectively to maintain health and to seek help when needed.
Methods refers to ways through which messages are conveyed to achieve a desired behavioral changes in a target audience.
In health education it is not enough to decide what will be done; by whom and when, we also need to decide how it will be done (methods).

Webinar broadcast on Feb 27, 2019 - 3:00PM EST
Delivering behavioral health services as a part of an integrated team is crucial to providing comprehensive primary care services. Focusing on the vital role of behavioral health, experts will share the key elements that maximize the contributions of these team members through structured approaches to screening, the use of “warm hand offs” to ensure connection to primary care, and implementing a robust group of treatment programs to enhance access and improve outcomes. This session will also discuss the day-to-day operation of a behavioral health program and detail the data and clinical dashboard that supports the work of these vital team members. There has been tremendous progress from health centers across the country in the integrating behavioral health, this webinar will share how integrated behavioral health can advance the team’s capability to provide effective and high quality care to complex patient populations.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

3. Learning objectives
At the end of the session students will be able to;
Describe the overview of concept of counselling
Explain patient education
Discuss different types of health care errors
Identify the importance of home visit
11/23/15 3
4. Counselling
Counseling is one of the approaches most frequently used
in health education to help individualsand families.
When it isapplied in health mattersit’sHealth counselling
Concept/definition
Counseling is helping process by which, we first
understand the problem, and then help the people to
understand their problem, and then we need to work
together with them to find solution that is appropriate to
their situation.
411/23/15
5. …these situations of counselling include
Situationsmay beinterpersonal, decisional or emotional ;
Situations for which best recommended action is not available.
(clear alternativesmay exist)….but specific to events.
In situations/conditions when the best of the clear alternatives are
specific to individualsdecision/preference. e.g FP
In specific situations for which no clear alternatives are available
but theparticipation/helping processmake alternativesemanate.
Urgent situationsoccur that elicit seeking or providing help
e.g: Crying from HIV+ test result
11/23/15 5
6. Counseling…
It is a process of helping a person/people learn how to solve
certain interpersonal, emotional and decisional problems.
A counselor'sroleisto help theclient help himself or herself.
A counselor also help clients avoid the pre-existing premature
decision.
A counselor may assume a role of checking maturity of a
decision at any timefrom start to just beforeleaving aroom.
611/23/15
7. Counseling…
Counseling IS …
Client-centered — specific to the needs, issues, circumstances
of each individual client
Counseling IS NOT…
Telling or directing
Giving advice
A conversation
praying
711/23/15
8. • Counseling isahelping processand it isachoice.
However, advice is…………………
• an opinion given for someone by experts as to what to do and how
to do something.
• an opinion recommended or offered asworthy to befollowed.
• Isaproposal for appropriatecourseof action
• In advice, the decision is made by thehealthworkerand the clients
are expected to follow the decision made by the health workers.
But, in counseling thedecision aremadeby theclients themselves.
811/23/15
9. Advice is not appropriate in counseling fortwo reasons
1st
: if the advice is right the person may become dependent
on thecounselor for solving all theproblems.
(you arenot investing)
2nd:
if the advice turns out to be wrong the person will be
angry and no longer trust thecounselor.
911/23/15
10. Characteristics of good advice
Still if thereisaneed to advicetheclients, it should bemeet the
following characteristics.
Meetsafelt needs& Realistic.
Epidemiologically correct
Easy to understand (usematerialsaids)
Culturally acceptable
Affordable
Requiresminimum time/ effort
Advicemay beused in p/education when actionsarenot optional
1011/23/15
11. Rules for(principles) counseling
A) Good relationship (show concern and acaring attitude).
build rapport
B) Feelings: counselor should develop empathy (understanding
and acceptance) for peoplefeelingsnot sympathy (sorrow or
pity)
C) Participation: counselor should work with theclients
towardsthesolution.
A counselor should never try to persuadepeopleto accept
his/her advice.
1111/23/15
12. D) Privacy and confidentiality: the information must
be kept secret from all other people, even from the
clients’ relatives.
E) Provide Information: although counselors do not
give advice they should share information and ideas
on resources which the clients need in order to make a
sound decision.
F) Normalize situations: provide existence of similar
situation if any or explain it is a possible event at a
point in life(if you fail to havesimilar event before)
1211/23/15
13. Who shall be counselors
Qualities of good counselor:
Respect for dignity of others
Open or non-judgmental
Activelistener
Empathetic and caring
Knowledgeable (readily equipped by counselling facts)
Honest, sensitiveand self-discipline.
1311/23/15
14. Pitfall forcounseling:
Directing and leading theideasof theclients.
Minimizing theclient’sproblem
Using wordssuch as“should”and“must”
Not accepting theclientsfeelings
Pushing or threatening theclient
Encouraging dependency
Advising theclient
Taking responsibility for theclient’sproblem and decisions
1411/23/15
15. Approaches to counseling
TheGATHERapproach to counseling
G-Greet the individuals/clients by name: show respect and trust,
tell thediscussion isconfidential
A-Ask about his/her problem, measures he/she took to solve the
problem and how he/shebelievesyou can help theclient.
T-Tell any relevant information he/sheneedsto know.
H-Help them to makedecision: guidethem to look at the various
alternatives, and help them to choose solution/s which will
best fit for their circumstances.
1511/23/15
16. Approaches…
E-Explain any misunderstandings. Ask questions to check
understanding of important key points and repeat the key
pointsby their own words.
R-Returnto follow-up on them: makearrangement for follow up
visit or referral to other agencies.
If follow-up visit is not necessary give the name of someone
they can contact if they need help.
1611/23/15
19. Terms
Patient: capable of waiting or preserving: able to
endure waiting, delay, or provocation without
becoming annoyed or upset
It implies a sort of submissiveness/dependency on
health care providers (to whom treatment is given)
Client: someone (active) using professional service
Customer: some one to whom services are
provided or sold… it implies marketing
perspective
(Microsoft Encarta® , 2009)
11/23/15 19
20. Patient education
Health education may occur in any setting as school,
prison, worksites, health care setting etc
In health care setting education/communication is
inevitable in the process of health care service
provision that encompasses patient education.
It happens in the continuum from diagnosis of
illness, informing illness, providing recommended
action/treatment for effective sick role behaviors.
11/23/15 20
21. …Patient education
It is matters of health information in the provider-
patient relationship in clinical care.
It is education of patients, using methods & materials,
involving information on;
Diagnosis or nature of the problem
Nature of recommended treatment, side effects etc.
The two main recommended regimens for patients
health benefits are drug/device & lifestyle for self care
(e.g; SNAP-smoking,nutrition,alcohol&physical exercise
11/23/15 21
22. …patient education
The ultimate purpose of patient education is;
To enhance patient health behavior like sick role
behavior that best restore Health (secondary & tertiary
HE)
Patient education aims on priority behaviors in
relation to disease & regimen using priority P,R & E
inventory of the behavior.
In HCF strategic patient education will be conducted
on priority health problem, priority behavior & priority
factors affecting a behavior.
11/23/15 22
23. …Patient education is targeted to;
motivate for complying the regimens (drugs & lifestyle)
Provide skills, help diagnose & solve barrier situations in
self care (e.g remember the case study as method )
Provide a intervention on enabling factors (e.g inability
to fill regimen) via systemic referral to third
parties/agencies to help deal with such situation.
Allow appointment to identify problem & reinforce
adherence of self care
The effectiveness of PE (avoiding errors) involves
participation of patients & commitment of providers for
patients’ better health.
11/23/15 23
24. The capitals/opportunities in HCF
Health care workers are powerful instigators for many of
specific behavioral & even lifestyle change.
They play a supporting non-trivial role with out which
many patients will not start the process of change.
The following are opportunities in HCF to that change
Clinical credibility-authoritative source of h/information
Access to teachable moment- patients receptivity + flow
Public interest: the recent shift in general public to
actively seek counselling/education for health directed
behaviors or to cope with h/threat.
Readiness of clinical practitioners; ready to help
patients/devote for preventive medicine as b/r change.????
11/23/15 24
25. Missed opportunities
The ideal opportunities that may be missed include;
Discouraged to implement preventive practice b/c;
Leaving little room for preventive medicine/HP.
Perceiving patients as non compliant to advice
Real/perceived lack of skill to influence behavior change
Underestimation of patients knowledge & skills
Limited space & tight clinic schedules
Economic disincentives etc
11/23/15 25
26. Epidemiology of Health care errors
In the process of service provision in HCF different levels
of errors happen that affect patient health.
The errors even partly involve the lack/inadequacy of
patient education & again partly need patient education
as intervention strategy.
These errors may be related to either or both of patients
& providers
These errors may be broadly categorized as
Errors of omission
Errors of commission
11/23/15 26
27. …errors
An error Omission:
occurs when a patient fails to receive or apply to
clinically important medication/procedures as needed.
An error of commission:
Occurs when a patient misuses a prescribed
therapeutic/preventive regimen or uses a drug
prescribed for another patient/illness OR
Occurs when a provider prescribes a wrong drug or
therapy. (lacks standard/ inefficient/in
appropriateness)

For errors of omission two broad classes of patients
The undiagnosed/unscreened (A1)
Non users (B1, B2,B3 groups)
11/23/15 29
30. …errors
Errors of commission include
Professional errors:
A diagnosis applied with out adequate confirmation
In appropriate/inefficient drugs e.g drugs in lieu of style
Drug-drug interaction not evaluated
Wrong dose of right drug.
So what is your intervention here>>>> professional
media communication, quality assurance/continued
education.
NB: many of these errors result in pts errors of
omission.11/23/15 30
31. …errors
Patient error of commissions
significant errors of misuse (C2) due to
Misunderstanding procedures
Inadequacy of information need etc
So, what intervention??? >>>> satisfying information

C1)11/23/15 31
33. Systems thinking ‘many but whys’ ’
It is basically aimed for behavioral diagnosis.
It is a technique of understanding reasons or factors
behind any behavior or health outcomes
It is creating a logical systems picture quite simply by
asking, at each juncture, “but why?”
The systems level thinking helps planners identify &
isolate concrete behavioral events that enable them to
be more precise in targeting program strategies.
In HCF, to understand why unhealthy behaviors
happen, system thinking is important.
11/23/15 33
34. …systems thinking
It also assists to identify reasons of some behaviors in
some context of non behavioral/environmental
factors
This is because “health behavior is best understood a
part of ecological system.”
E.g ‘Taking a prescribed medication’ …many why?
Medical care seeking
Obtaining a prescription medication
Rejecting a prescription
Past personal or others history related to medication,11/23/15 34
35. …system thinking
“A broken-appointment cycle” in which clients decide
to stop attending follow up is a good example of
systems view of keeping appointments i.e
Appointments are not being kept…but why?...b/c
Patients are dissatisfied…but why? ….b/c
Poor relationship or long waiting time…but why?...b/c
Decreased time with physician & over schedulling….why
In efficient use of staff time
Now get system of actions & reactions, decisions/choices
11/23/15 35
37. The role of clear HC in patient education
& health care errors
11/23/15 37
38. First identify common problems in provider-
patient communication
What basic problems are there on Provider & Patients?
Use systems thinking to identify the problems
For example;
Client side: embarrassed to ask, know, etc for better
health, low health literacy
Provider side: fail to know what to emphasis on,
undermining the role of patients health literacy in health
outcomes, attitude on importance of risk b/r information
& belief patients acceptance of advice
11/23/15 38
39. …problem scope of low health literacy
Health literacy is the ability to read, understand and act
on health information.
Older patients, people with chronic dses and those with
low socioeconomic status are especially vulnerable to low
health literacy
Adults with low health literacy, as literatures depict:
– Are often less likely to comply with prescribed Rx and self-
care regimens (C2 error)
– Make more medication or treatment errors , fail to seek
preventive care (C1, A1 errors)
– Are at a higher risk for hospitalization & remain in hospital
nearly 2 days longer (externalities of errors)
–11/23/15 39
40. Under-utilization of preventive services
Over-utilization of health services & Unnecessary
health care expenditures
Poor Health Outcomes/ limited effectiveness of
treatment & needless patient suffering
Higher patient dissatisfaction &
Higher provider frustration
11/23/15 40
41. Best Opportunity for Immediate Impact
Enhance Patient-Provider Communication
Focus on Clear Health Communication
What Needs to Be Done
Improve the Patient-Provider Relationship
Best Way to Do It
11/23/15 41
42. …solutions to the P-PC problems
For example;
Inform & Encourage patients to ask main essential
questions that impact their better health.
Help providers to give attention to health literacy of
patients, identify what to do & inform, identify local
health beliefs & use them.
The change agent produce important material aids
So, Creating partnership among patients, providers &
intervening agent with shared responsibility for clear
HC plays a pivotal role in alleviating the problem
11/23/15 42
43. For example the partnership for a
shared responsibility named with;
11/23/15 43
44. Promotes three simple, but essential, questions
and answers for every healthcare interaction:
Why Is It
Important for Me
to Do This?
Context
What Do I
Need to Do?
Treatment
What Is My
Main Problem?
Diagnosis
11/23/15 44
45. Provides a consistent approach to patient-provider dialogue
Allows patients to get information they need to manage their
health
Time-efficient for providers to reinforce healthcare
instructions
11/23/15 45
46. Patients Should Not Be Anxious About Asking
Their Health Care Provider the 3 Questions!
Health information can be confusing at times
Everyone wants help with health information
Asking questions helps patients understand
how to prevent or manage illness
11/23/15 46
47. ProviderPatient
All they can about their condition/medication
Why this advice/treatment is important for good
health
Steps to take to prevent a condition or keep it under
control
Thus, health Care Providers Want Patients to Know :
11/23/15 47
48. What should the provider do for CHC?
Bear in mind!!!
The 3 Qs that need answer in any health care interaction.
That many people have trouble understanding medical
terms. (but often, common words, an example/visuals )
That chances are there /high that patients with poor
health literacy skills are in your care who:
are often ashamed to admit they have difficulty
understanding information and instructions
use well-practiced coping mechanisms that effectively
mask their problem (may be sources of errors)
11/23/15 48
49. Benign Harmless
Chronic Happens again & again; does not end
Cardiac Heart
Edema Swelling; build up of fluid
Fatigue Tired
Screening Test
Intake What you eat or drink
Adverse events Side effects
Consider Using
This One Instead
Instead of
Using This Word
1. Avoid/decrease the Use of Medical Jargon
11/23/15 49
50. What should the provider do for CHC?
2. Limit the amount of information provided but not little.
3. Slow down
4.Use IEC material aids (visuals, models, brochures,
posters etc) to explain important concepts
5. Assure understanding with the “show-me” technique
6. Encourage patients to ask questions
Note:
These things can alleviate B2, B3, C2 Health care errors
11/23/15 50
51. What should third party/change agent do
Increase health literacy of clients, patients & the would
be patients. (Create health awareness & general
education)
Produce & distribute IEC materials
To encourage patients to ask questions, seek medical care
To guide & motivate providers in h/care interaction
Note:
It reduces almost all errors A1, C1, C2, B2, B1, B3

56. Home visit
• Home visit is one of the opportunities we have for counseling &
patient education.
• Home visit are important to understand the real back ground of
families, their living conditionsand theenvironment.
The purpose of home visit
• Establish rapport –keeping good relationship with families and
