Factors Affecting The Medical Decision Making And Disease Management

As displayed by Revealing World Religions, Judaism contains many sects, and Hasidic and Reform Jews are perhaps the most contrasting. Reform Jews use their religion as a segway to adapt traditional beliefs to today’s world. Their form of Judaism serves as a middle ground between modernism and tradition. Hasidic Jews are entirely different in that they utilize their religion as a means by which to form a direct connection to God. This is done by the strict observance of Jewish laws which as a result segregate them from modern life.

Dr. Gawande shares a personal story with the reader to make his case. He tells us about his daughter Hunter, who suddenly stopped breathing at 11-days-old. Dr. Gawande’s wife quickly noticed the respiratory stoppage, shook Hunter, and her breathing started anew. The Gawande family immediately took Hunter to the hospital where, in an environment guided by the “orthodoxy of patient autonomy”, a team of physicians presented them with different treatment options and asked them to choose their preferred course of action.

Decision-making in the workforce is a process of responsibilities used by upper management to implement, enforce rules, regulations, and maintain a successful environment. Decision-making implemented more effectively by making a plan, thinking it through, accepting more than one opinion and determining what is best. However, decision-making often utilized more effectively by opening doors of opportunities for a suggestion, question, discussion, and feedback. Although, more involvement helps improve understanding, utilize behavior skills and present opportunities for better communication. Everyday life consists of decision-making, the right decision may not always be applied, but ensure room for improvement and opportunity. Individuals approached decision-making in many different ways. As stated by (Jones, Graham, & Bateman, 2006) decision making is a procedure used to recognize a problem, weigh the alternatives and evaluate a solution in which, certain situations will require different approaches to become effective.

Judaism is more than a religion, its a way of life. Judaism 's entire body of beliefs and teachings which form the foundations of the religion, are outlined in the Torah. Within the Torah, Jewish people find the many different texts and rules that prescribe to them on how to live properly as the chosen people of God. The tradition of Judaism has been alive for thousands of years, its origins tracing back to the Patriarchs Abraham, Jacob and Isaac. Subsequently, from this comes Judaism 's central beliefs: The belief in one God, the belief in moral law and the belief and trust in the covenant prescribed to Moses in Exodus 2.0. The Orthodox Judaism strand incorporates the Mitzvot quite literally and tries to take it on word for word. On the other hand Reform Judaism and Conservatio interpret it in different ways. These Sacred Texts form the Jewish religion and fundamentally make up the beliefs that the Jewish

Standing (2011), defines clinical decision-making as a complex process that involves observation, gathering information, critical thinking, evaluating evidence, applying necessary knowledge, reflection and problem-solving skills. Every day nurses make important clinical decisions and these decisions have important implications for patient outcomes and deserve serious consideration. Therefore, it is important for nurses to have a better insight of the decision-making process, be able to deliver holistic care and meet essential and complex physical and mental health needs of the patient.

One of the conflicts that arise in health-care from a conflict perspective is the focus of the provider and is the provider functioning as a scientist or a care giver. Are there objective versus subjective concerns for the patient and is the health care provider treating the disease or is the provider treating the person? The conflict that arises between health-care provider and patient is vastly influenced by the patient’s cultural and social beliefs.

The case study of Lia Lee is interesting and serves as a cautionary tale as it explores the consequences of cultural misunderstanding. In this case both the parents and medical staff sought the same thing; they both wanted Lia to have a positive outcome. Unfortunately, both groups had distinct ideas regarding how to achieve the common objective. This division was rooted in each sides individual cultural beliefs.

I believe that the clinical decision making process associated with the actions to be taken in Jack and Jacqueline’s care were quite similar between the Canadian and the Rwandan perspectives. This is because both perspectives took on a holistic view of Jack and Jacqueline’s situation and thereby worked to develop goals that would not only address Jack’s physical health, but also the emotional and mental health of Jack, Jacqueline, and even Charles. These holistic based goals included, but were not limited to the utilization of various community supports to foster Jack’s cognitive development as well as the formation and implementation of diverse coping strategies for Jacqueline and Charles to use during times of stress.

Judaism preaches that all things are under gods rule. God is the creator of the universe and still is in charge of it. The Torah is a list of commandments that reveals rules of how to live for his followers. although there are ten commandments, this religion also gives their followers the free will of choice. In Judaism, religion is not a part of life but it is life. For example this is why Jews pray three times a day. Like the Christians believe that god sent a human to the earth to teach us, the Jewish also have a similar belief, in a figure named Messiah. When asked about the essence of Judaism there is this story about a man that comes to mind. He was a rabbi named Hillel who summed up Judaism while balancing on one foot, he said, "...What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the Torah. The rest is commentary..." Basically Judaism is based on self choice, there are rules to live by, but it is entirely up to the person on how to live and apply these

Hasidic Judaism is a branch of Orthodox Judaism established in Eastern Europe during the 1800’s that put spirituality and a connection with God through mysticism at the forefront of its beliefs. In order to understand Hasidic Judaism, one must understand that Judaism is not only a religion; it is also a philosophy and a way of life for the Jewish people. One of the oldest monotheistic religions, Judaism has evolved over the years since the time of the founding fathers. Like any culture or religion, however, Jews have never been without conflict or disagreement amongst its people. Schisms amongst Jews over long periods of time have led to a branching out of sects and Jewish institutions. What led to the separation of denominations within

I have come to the conclusion that if an individual wants to work in healthcare they must respect cultural differences of all patients they come in contact with. Outside of the burns, Marie is in wonderful condition; she is healthy, well feed and thriving. Before noting the burns, Linda would consider Mrs. Saeto as a truly caring and compassionate parent, and it is further validated by her desire to make Marie healthy; although by means that are highly scrutinized practices in the American culture. It would be my recommendation to talk with Mrs. Saeto about her curing practices and suggest alternatives in modern medicine that would provide less harm to the child; all while remaining culturally sensitivity to Mrs. Saeto. The last thing Linda needs is Mrs. Saeto to feel disrespected as a patient by rejecting her culture and way of life. And it is not within Linda’s power to force someone to assimilate to the American way of life. Keep in mind, Mrs. Saeto already

There are three forms of Judaism Othrodox, Reform and Conservative. I will cover the bases of each, In Orthodox Judaism they tend to be more traditional. The main forms of faith are in Written Law and Oral Law, which are their fixed beliefs and cannot be changed by anyone. They also follow dietary restriction and follow the Torah.

The Jewish faith consists of founding principles that are quoted in the Tenak and Talmud. It is through the principle beliefs that Jewish adherents are conscious of God’s monotheism, The Covenant and the importance of divinely inspired moral law. Variants across Judaism including Hasidic and the Reform Jewish Movement, uphold differing interpretations of these beliefs which are reflected through their practices of faith everyday.

Judaism is the belief in one God. Judaism is derived from the Torah, the first five books of the bible. The founders of this religion is Abraham and Moses. The God that they worship is Yahweh. This God chose the people of Israel and requires worship, and rituals and believes that if this is done a Messiah will come. The role of God and the Jewish community in each person’s life they have to go through cycles of events that and with traditional rituals. For example after the first Sabbath after the birth of a child, the father is called forward to recite the blessings for the mother

There is a failure in using the research evidence to inform decision making across health care providers, patients, managers, and policy makers. This knowledge to action gap needs behaviour change, practice or policy change [94]. Behaviour change is a complex process, it needs an assessment of the health care system to identify the adaptability and feasibility of change, and facilitators and barriers to change [95]. Therefore, this gap has to be addressed using effective knowledge translation interventions, which may result in improve health outcomes among patients [94].
