As a Therapeutic Recreation major, I was given the opportunity to attend courses that educates and prepares me for the future. For instance, courses such Assessment and Documentation, TR Modalities, and Health Promotion through Leisure Education gave me a foundation on how to plan and implement activities, educate the clients using the activities, and modify different activities for different populations. TR in Geriatric Service Settings course and my junior internship helped prepare me for a role in a geriatric setting. Having a junior internship gave me the opportunity to use the skills and techniques that I learned in class towards an actual population. It also allows me to see the importance of social support and client’s motivation. When the client isn’t motivated to participate in certain interventions, a responsibility of a quality of life coordinator and a TR is to communicate with family and friend(s) to develop a solution for the client’s case. With the foundation that Temple University provide and possible future opportunities, I believe I will be able to gain more knowledge and experience in this

The shift of practice from hospital-like environments to homelike environments is entitled “small-scale living.” The style of living is described as a homelike approach in which a small number of patients live together and form a home along with staff. The residents are encouraged to live a normal daily life and social participation is promoted (Verbeek 2009). The idea is that the residents should be able to live with people who make them feel relaxed and enjoy the social interaction among a small group of people. An occupational therapist and CEO of the Lantern in Ohio, Jean Makesh, said, “As we get older, we work so hard and try to save money to have a very comfortable retirement, so I thought, ‘Let’s make it fun and exciting for these people, like a resort or a hotel (Pennell).” Makesh’s idea is strategic as well as it provides a comfortable way for dementia and Alzheimer patients to live.

Beliefs are individualised opinions and a set of core convictions that can support our actions as humans. I believe that it is beneficial for nurses and residents to embrace the aspects of person-centred care rather than focusing on the tasks particularly in a gerontological care setting. I also believe that nurses have a significant role in fighting for resident’s rights and advocacy. This paper highlights factors that are beneficial in the provision of person-centred care in aged care facilities. Also, the author wants to discuss how significant the nurses are as an advocate for residents and to identify ways in promoting resident advocacy. The said beliefs will focus on care in the elderly that may help in achieving their self-worth and will lead to positive health outcome. This essay will enumerate beliefs and correlate it to evidence base research.

The perspective of women in the life and time Fredrick Douglass were that they were treated like property and not as if they were human beings. They were more like sex slaves, cleaners, punching bags and more. There are several female characters deep within his story that are shown and slightly over looked. Slavery, rape and beatings took an emotional and physically toll on the women and fell prey to the coward masters. Therefore, lowering their inner strength and made them weak.

The Midwives Model of Care is a complex definition of what maternity caregivers should stride to comply to. The model is shared between multiple organizations as a means of communicating with healthcare providers. The model is important to know because all maternity caregivers will have something to refer to when it comes to giving the best care possible to mothers and babies. It also helps mothers make the decision on going with midwives or caregivers.

I am the Director of Recreation Therapy and Volunteer Services for a 111-bed nursing home. As the Recreation Director, I am responsible for the delivery of our therapeutic recreation (TR) services. I have a process that I follow for developing each resident’s TR plan. I complete a leisure assessment for each new resident. With the information gathered from the assessment, I create a TR goal for the resident. Using this goal, I identify objectives and choose a modality that will help meet the resident’s goal.

The purpose of this essay is to provide a review of the models which are Chronic Care Model and Patient-Centered Medical Home Model. Also to provide how both achieve quality and safety and add as much information on how both models benefit in providing care to the patients.

In this essay, the theme is focused on President Trump’s actions and mindset towards women's health care. The original article is called, “Trump relaxes Employer's Duty on Birth Control”, by Robert Pear and Rebeca R. Rulz. But the article was revised on October 6, 2017, and it is now titled as, “ Trump Administration Rolls Back Birth Control Mandate.” The article represents inequalities of women's health care, focusing on birth control. Trumps Administration wants to deny the rights of women insurance that covers birth control, and I believe that the role of gender and society are two main reasons why Trumps Administration would think it is acceptable to deny certain treatments for women.

Gilligan’s (1982) theory of ethic of care on the moral development of women, focuses on the highest moral requirement of taking care of needs and sustaining relationships. This ethic of care when associated with the care of aging older adults, accentuates the value of providing in-home care by family and fictive kin instead of choosing paid formal eldercare in-home services or placement in a long-term care facility (Anderson & Turner, 2010). According to Smith (1991) African American older adults who may be eligible for placement in long-term care facilities, are the same people who experienced blatant hostility and discrimination from many of the formal eldercare organizations that now offer support. Consequently, the cultural respect given

New Zealand Society of Diversional Therapists (2016) defines diversional therapy as a practice that involves “organization, design, coordination and implementation of client-centered leisure-based activity programs” to improve the quality of life by addressing the needs and well-being be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or social. It is the responsibility of a diversional therapist (DT) to be updated with regard to the changes in practice to identify needs and to plan how to address them. The DT must be aware of the changes in health policies and initiatives to deliver better services to those people who use these services. The purpose of this report is to identify one health policy and one health initiative and their impact on diversional

Nursing care through theory has continual made changes to provide the best care for patients across the spectrum. From nursing models, to concepts, to evidence based practices that have stemmed from theories, nursing care advances have come a long way. Theories have been the fundaments of nursing to help nurses provide efficient care through structure , unity , assessing, planning, and implementing interventions (White & Zaccagnini, 2014).This paper will discuss how theories have guided patient centered care in helping decrease infections in cancer who have central lines that developed chemotherapy- induced neutropenia.

Ask nearly any woman at least any woman in the developed world about her experiences with the medical establishment and it is far more likely than not that she will immediately come forward with a series of unpleasant experiences that she has had with doctors as well as other medical professionals. That is, if she has been lucky she will report only "unpleasant" experiences, for a large number of women have had experiences that range from the terrible to the terrifying. This paper describes an alternative to the misogyny that so many women have experienced: Woman-centered care. As should be clear by its name, this type of treatment places the woman's needs and comfort (rather than those of the clinician) at the core of the relationship.

Parks, recreation, and management tactics and levels of expectations are constantly adapting with the ever growing society that we live in. The field of recreation is especially evolving because of its relation to the medical field. Possibly one of the most influential people in the medical field was Florence Nightingale. Although the achievements she accomplished in her lifetime may seem small, they certainly impact how not only recreation functions today, but the entire medical field.
