As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group .docx
As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group typology in order to choose the appropriate group method for a specific population or problem. Each type of group has its own approach and purpose. Two of the more frequently used types of groups are task groups and intervention groups.
For this Assignment, review the “Cortez Multimedia” case study, and identify a target behavior or issue that needs to be ameliorated, decreased, or increased. In a 2- to 4-page report, complete the following:
Choose either a treatment group or task group as your intervention for Paula Cortez.
Identify the model of treatment group (i.e., support, education, teams, or treatment conferences).
Using the typologies described in the Toseland & Rivas (2017) piece, describe the characteristics of your group. For instance, if you choose a treatment group that is a support group, what would be the purpose, leadership, focus, bond, composition, and communication?
Include the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of group as an intervention.

A Meeting of an Interdisciplinary Team
Paula has just been involuntarily hospitalized and placed on the psychiatric unit, for a minimum of 72 hours, for observation. Paula was deemed a suicidal risk after an assessment was completed by the social worker. The social worker observed that Paula appeared to be rapidly decompensating, potentially placing herself and her pregnancy at risk.
Paula just recently announced to the social worker that she is pregnant. She has been unsure whether she wanted to continue the pregnancy or terminate. Paula also told the social worker she is fearful of the father of the baby, and she is convinced he will try to hurt her. He has started to harass, stalk, and threaten her at all hours of the day. Paula began to exhibit increased paranoia and reported she started smoking again to calm her nerves. She also stated she stopped taking her psychiatric medications and has been skipping some of her
HIV
medications.
The following is an interdisciplinary team meeting being held in a conference room at the hospital. Several members of Paula’s team (HIV doctor, psychiatrist, social worker, and OB nurse) have gathered to discuss the precipitating factors to this hospitalization. The intent is to craft a plan of action to address Paula's noncompliance with her medications, increased paranoia, and the pregnancy.

MIPS PP poster
This document discusses the need to improve diagnostic clinician education about pelvic organ prolapse (POP) by incorporating patient experiences and perspectives. A survey of 139 POP patients found common misconceptions among clinicians that minimized or dismissed POP symptoms. Examples of frustrating patient experiences show clinicians often lacked knowledge to properly diagnose or treat POP. The conclusion is that patient input is essential to evolve diagnostic clinician curriculum and address insufficient perceptions about POP. Enabling patient voices can help establish appropriate screening protocols and awareness of this under-recognized condition.

SOCW 6070-week 4 discussion 1 Looking Through Different Lenses
I have provided the case study and all resources I work for hospice and my lens is meeting people where they are in their journey and trying to help the whole person and family
As a social worker, you bring your own lens—that is, your own set of assumptions, biases, beliefs, and interpretations—into your interactions with clients and the human services professionals with whom you collaborate. Human services organizations have their own cultures that influence their organizational lenses. An organizational lens reflects key assumptions about the individuals to whom the organization provides services. These assumptions influence the organization’s policies and procedures which, in turn, impact service delivery. For example, an organization that focuses on understanding the perspectives of the clients it serves may allow clients to provide feedback about their client experience through membership on advisory boards or boards of directors. The clients may have the power to make recommendations and decisions about the organization’s policies and procedures.
Understanding cultural lenses—your personal lens, as well as those of the organizations and other individuals with whom you work and interact—will enable you to better serve your clients.
Focus on the Paula Cortez case study
for this Discussion. In this case study, four professionals present their perspectives on the Paula Cortez case. These workers could view Paula’s case through a variety of cultural lenses, including socioeconomic, gender, ethnicity, and mental health. For this Discussion, you take the role of the social worker on the case and interpret Paula’s case using two of these lenses.
Post
how you, as a social worker, might interpret the needs of Paula Cortez, the client, through the two cultural lenses you selected.
Then, explain how, in general, you would incorporate multiple perspectives of a variety of stakeholders and/or human services professionals as you treat clients.
Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Adult Perceptions of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Adult Perceptions of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep ApneaLeonard Davis Institute of Health Economics
The document describes a study that aimed to identify typologies of CPAP adherence based on patients' beliefs and perceptions of their obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis and treatment. The study used interviews of OSA patients before and after one week of CPAP treatment to identify differences in beliefs between adherent and nonadherent patients. The findings suggest that adherent patients were able to define health risks of OSA, had more facilitators than barriers to CPAP use, developed goals for treatment, and believed in their ability to use CPAP despite difficulties. Nonadherent patients were less able to define OSA risks, described barriers as more influential than facilitators, lacked clear goals, and had low self-efficacyNadyaAndreevaTranscript.docx

Adult Perceptions of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Adult Perceptions of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep ApneaLeonard Davis Institute of Health Economics
The document describes a study that aimed to identify typologies of CPAP adherence based on patients' beliefs and perceptions of their obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis and treatment. The study used interviews of OSA patients before and after one week of CPAP treatment to identify differences in beliefs between adherent and nonadherent patients. The findings suggest that adherent patients were able to define health risks of OSA, had more facilitators than barriers to CPAP use, developed goals for treatment, and believed in their ability to use CPAP despite difficulties. Nonadherent patients were less able to define OSA risks, described barriers as more influential than facilitators, lacked clear goals, and had low self-efficacyNadyaAndreevaTranscript.docx

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
