Introductory Paragraph and Outline

SOC313: Social Implications of Medical Issues
Scott Baxter
June 30, 2014
Introductory Paragraph
Ella’s scenario raises various issues with regard to treatment
alternatives and treatment context. Decisions on whether to
pursue alternative and complementary medicine and beliefs or
mainstream medical practices can significantly influence the
care she receives. Cultural and traditional expectations will also
influence the decisions on the type of care she receives. In
addition, there are other micro, mezzo, and macro influences
affecting Grandmother Ella and her diverse family members due
to her medical condition and prognosis. It is worth noting that
receiving care at a hospital or at home comes with advantages
and disadvantages, and the best option would be the one whose
benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. Issues related to the
diversity of the family as well as other psychological and social
factors will guide their decisions on the best treatment
alternatives. Furthermore, each individual’s perspective on
17. lifespan development will be affected if they do not seek timely
help for their own problems. Examining and understanding the
various influences evident in Ella’s scenario will help in
formulating better intervention strategies that can help the
patient and her diverse family members to deal with the
situation amicably.
Outline
I. Introduction
A. Background Information
1. Grandmother Ella’s condition has significant implications on
her life and the lives of other family members
2. Cultural and traditional issues, context of health care setting
as well as psychological and social issues affect decisions on
dispensation of care
3. Micro, mezzo and macro issues will also influence care and
reaction of family members
B. Thesis Statement
Examining and understanding the various influences evident in
Ella’s scenario will help in formulating better intervention
strategies that can help the patient and her diverse family
members to deal with the situation amicably
II. Body
A. Cultural or traditional issues that might arise
1. Insistence of traditional healing practices by the American
Indian grandfather
2. Extended family plays a critical role in decision-making
(Gallant, Spitze, & Grove, 2010). There will be strong emphasis
on identifying with the extended family
3. If Ella wants to stick with alternative and complimentary
treatment, the family especially her husband will be supportive
18. B. Micro, Mezzo, and Macro Influences Affecting Ella and the
Family
1. Micro influences
a. The preferences (values) of Ella about her role in managing
the condition, as she wishes to continue with her care at home
b. The attitudes and beliefs of the family members will affect
the decisions for healthcare delivery
2. Mezzo Influences
a. Availability of support groups for people with chronic
conditions in the neighborhood
b. The existence of expertise and appropriate tools among
health care workers in the community (Holosko & Dulmus,
2013)
c. Availability of a vibrant information systems for a
coordinated, evidence-based and integrated care
d. Availability of community resources such as consumer
groups, non-governmental agencies and patient advocates
(Davidson, 2014)
3. Macro Influences
a. The existence of a stringent legislative framework for
enhancing quality of health care services (WHO, 2002)
b. Government prioritization and allocation of resources for
management of chronic conditions (Holosko & Dulmus, 2013)
c. Emphasis on continued education for health care providers
across the nation
C. Advantages and Disadvantages of Hospital versus Home Care
1. Advantages of hospital care
a. Specialized equipment and medical care for cancer treatment
are available immediately (Davidson, 2014)
b. Constant monitoring by medical staff round the clock
2. Disadvantages
19. a. There may be little patient privacy
b. Family members may not be able to participate actively in
care giving at the hospital setting (Smyer & Stenvig, 2007)
3. Advantages of home care
a. Ella might feel most secure, comfortable, relaxed and loved
at home
b. The home environment offers flexibility for the patient and
the family in their daily routines (Holosko & Dulmus, 2013)
4. Disadvantages
a. It may be problematic to handle emergencies at home
b. Many home environments do not have adequate facilities
required for effective health care delivery
D. Psychological and social issues evident in the scenario
1. The prospects of Ella’s death is emotionally burdening to the
family members
2. Drug problems by Sam, Lucy and Josh might be interfering
with their mental and psychological health
3. The socioeconomic status of the family might be affecting the
family member’s access to quality care (Gallant et al., 2010)
4. The ongoing illness of Ella has rendered the family members
hopeless and contributed to increased fears among all members
E. Current situation as Pertains to Diversity as well as to
cultural, psychological and social perspectives
1. As American Indian family, there is more strain to maintain
cultural practices (Smyer & Stenvig, 2007)
2. People view community or family needs as more important
than individual needs
3. Emotional and physical health also has more priority than
20. physical health among American Indians (Gallant et al., 2010)
Ella’s situation will significantly affect the lifespan
development of all the family members. The grandfather, Sam,
Lila, Josh, Lucy and Sarah will all continue to have pessimistic
views if they do not find appropriate help for coping with their
conditions. This will lead to reduced judgmental, cognitive and
intellectual capabilities.
III. Conclusion
1. Grandmother Ella’s condition presenting various dilemmas
and affecting the diverse family
2. Cultural and traditional influences significantly affect the
decisions of where to provide care, in the hospital setting or in
the home environment
3. Other micro, mezzo and macro influences as well as
perceptions of family members might influence the dispensation
of care to the patient with chronic illness
4. Care should be provided where it is in the best interest for
the patient and the family members
