Visiting a social work agency

In order to function as change agents, social workers interact with others in a wide variety of organizations. Visiting a social work agency allows students of social work to get a glimpse of the form that these interactions may take.
For this Assignment, visit a social service agency in your area and interview a MSW-level social worker there. The agency cannot be a private practice.
By Day 7 of this week, you identify your agency and the social worker you will collaborate with. Your Final Project, submitted in Week 6 of the course, should focus on the following.
Submission and Grading Information
To submit your Project, do the following:
Save your Project as a “.doc” file with the filename “WK3Proj+last name+first initial.doc”. For example, Sally Ride’s filename would be “WK3ProjRideS.doc”.
To upload your Project information, click on Projects on the course navigation menu, and then click the “Project – Week 3” link.
Looking Ahead: Your Final Project, submitted in Week 6 of the course will be a 4- to 5-page written account of your agency visit, reflection on the experience, and analysis of course topics as related to your experience. Make sure to support ideas with evidence from course resources and additional research.
The final project should:
Describe the agency. Including:
Services offered
Mission of the agency
Clientele or population served
Describe the social worker’s job activities and professional roles
Explain what brought the social worker to the field and their work history
Explain opportunities for advancement and what the social worker does for professional development
Describe the social worker’s overall job satisfaction and strategies they use for self-care
Analyze your experience. Specifically,
Discuss your thoughts and feelings related to the agency, clientele, and type of work.
Reflect on why you may have experienced these reactions to the agency, clientele, and type of work.
Explain which social work values and ethics were evident (or not evident) during the interview.
Explain how social and economic justice relates to the services provided or population served by this agency.
Explain how cultural competence was demonstrated (or not demonstrated) within the agency or by the social worker.

Program Development

HAPPY VALLEY’S DIRECTOR OF INTERNAL MEDICINE, ALONG WITH THE DIRECTOR OF NURSING FOR THAT DEPARTMENT, ARE CONSIDERING ESTABLISHING A NEW HEMODIALYSIS SERVICE.

 NO COMMENTS
Program Development Case StudyHappy Valley Hospital is a community-based facility with 288 acute care beds, a twelve suite family-oriented birthing center, a forty four bed long-term care inpatient facility, and a fourteen bed inpatient rehabilitation unit. Happy Valley has a major competitor, GH, which has two hundred beds, a small cancer center, and a kidney dialysis unit.Happy Valley’s director of internal medicine, along with the director of nursing for that department, are considering establishing a new hemodialysis service. GH has a small hemodialysis unit, but they do not have enough beds to properly accommodate the needs of this community.The Happy Valley medical director has surveyed the six nephrologists with staff privileges at the hospital and has determined that all six agree that there is a need for more hemodialysis beds in the community. Moreover, these nephrologists all have staff privileges at both Happy Valley and GH and would prefer that the new beds be added to the GH unit. GH, however, has no plans to expand their unit for at least the next five years, and presently, new patients are being referred to a dialysis unit in another community thirty minutes south of Happy Valley Hospital. Those patients as well as their families find this alternative site and location to be unacceptable.Based on your understanding of the above case, express your views on the following:How should the medical director at Happy Valley try to convince patients now being referred to the dialysis unit thirty minutes to the south to switch their care to Happy Valley Hospital?What steps should the Happy Valley medical director take to ensure that patients will get the proper care and facilities at the Happy Valley Hospital hemodialysis unit, when it is established?Is the approach of GH for not having any expansion plans for the next five years for their unit justified, keeping in mind the interest of the community? Why or why not?APA format

Personal Assessments of HIV Risk

Chapter 8 Discussion – Personal Assessments of HIV Risk
Chapter 8 was a little overwhelming. There were so many theoretical descriptions of how people make decisions about their choice of sex partners, and other risky behaviors. Does anyone actually think like this? The truth is, that most of us make potentially life altering decisions in the blink of an eye. Yet behind those split-second decisions, there is an evolutionary history, dating back to early man. Intuition, as we might call it, is probably an unconscious series of decisions made based on associations with people and lifetime experiences.  All of these flashes of memory are confounded in the present with fear, lust, emotion and other biases, well before logical thinking comes into the picture.
The best way to understand these concepts is probably not to read about them in a textbook, but to discuss them, bringing to mind our own experiences, and those of people whom we have known. The task for this discussion will be to give an example of how someone you have known or read about has used one of these decision-making models to make a life-altering decision in their own life, and how it has affected them. Remember, we should be focusing our discussion on the situation, not the person involved, so don’t identify any person by name.
If you can’t think of a real-life situation to use as an example, use a character from a well known book or movie, or explain a theoretical situation that might happen in real life. Or write something more general about one of these topics.
 
Examples:
a. Give an example of how optimistic bias has influenced the attitude of a young person about their risk of becoming infected with HIV.
b. Explain how the representative heuristic has led to an irrational fear in yourself, or someone you have known, that HIV can be transmitted by casual contact.
As usual, upload your post of 150-200 words.
Chapter 9 Discussion – Principles of Health Behavior Change
Read about the 7 principles of health behavior change in Chapter 9 p.160-166. These are the factors that need to be considered when developing programs to educate the public about behavioral change in promoting safe sex.
1. The Cognitive Principle
2. The Emotional Principle
3. The Behavioral Principle
4. The Interpersonal Principle
5. The Social Ecological Principle
6. The Structural Principle
7. The Scientific Principle
For the discussion this week, we will be practicing working with the principles above. Each of you should choose one of these principles. Explain the principle and how you would incorporate it when developing an AIDS prevention program. You can make up a scenario for a hypothetical target demographic, use an example or keep it general. You don’t need to develop an extensive educational program. You only need to develop the one aspect of a program that employs the principle that you are discussing.

Health Care Agency

PICOT Statement Paper

Week 3
Assignment for week 3
Question : Review the Topic Materials and the work completed in NRS-433V to formulate a PICOT statement for your capstone project.

Make sure to address the following on the PICOT statement:
1. Evidence-Based Solution
2. Nursing Intervention
