  • Schizophrenia: The Impact on Families

    1775 Words  | 4 Pages

    Families with a member suffering from any illness may be stressful enough but families with members diagnosed with schizophrenia are often faced with additional challenges such as the “external stressors of social stigma, isolation, and emotional frustration”. Many times, family conflicts arise as members attempt to provide care on an everyday basis (Chien, 2010, pg. xi). “A Beautiful Mind” is a brilliant motion picture directed by Ron Howard that chronicles the life of one John Nash, a prominent mathematician and the challenges he endures throughout his adult life afflicted with a chronic mental illness. “A Beautiful Mind” allows us to gain insight into the stressors that many families undergo when faced with living with a person with schizophrenia. This paper will explore the impact of schizophrenia on the lives of the Nash family as depicted in the aforementioned movie. Exploring the impact of the disease on the Nash family’s life will be followed with a discussion regarding an assessment conducted of the family, through the use of the Calgary Family Assessment model. Conducting the assessment allowed us to determine two nursing priorities, and nursing interventions in relation to them through the use of the Calgary intervention model. Essentially it becomes evident that the challenges faced by the Nash family are in the functional domain. The families inability to effectively communicate and problem solve becomes evident, which is negatively impacting the families ability to function effectively. Our nursing interventions guided by the Calgary Nursing Intervention Model will focus on providing the Nash family with the support needed to bring about change in the affective domain in foster effective communication with the famil...

  • The Doctorate Of Nursing Practice (DNP)

    Rather than preparing graduates in education or consulting as previous graduate nursing programs had done, this program educated psychiatric-mental health nurses as therapists with the ability to assess and diagnose mental health issues as well as psychiatric disorders and treat them via individual, group, and family therapy (ANA, 2014). Thus, the Psychiatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist (PMH-CNS), one of the initial advanced practice nursing roles (Schmidt, 2013), was born. After Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963 led to deinstitutionalization of individuals with mental illness, PMH-CNSs played a crucial role in reintegrating formerly institutionalized individuals back into community life (ANA, 2014). PMH-CNSs have been providing care in a wide range of setting and obtaining third-party reimbursement since the late 1960’s. In 1974 a national certification for PMH-CNSs was created (APNA, 2010). Subsequently, PMH-CNSs began to be granted prescriptive privileges in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1970s, that practice has now spread to 37 states and the District of Columbia (APNA,

  • The Concept Of Holistic Nursing

    791 Words  | 2 Pages

    Holistic nursing is a specialty practice that draws on nursing knowledge, theories, expertise and intuition to guide nurses in becoming therapeutic partners with people in their care. This practice recognizes the totality of the human being - the interconnectedness of body, mind, emotion, spirit, social/cultural, relationship, context, and environment (American Holistic Association, 2015, para 2). The learning topic can be found in the goals listed in module two. Specifically, learning the roles of community health in wellness. The second learning goal is how to correctly complete an assessment of the needs of a community. I hope to expand my professional goal into the admiration of a community based health program.

    Care largely takes place in homes and communities. Much of it is not carried out by health and social services but by families, by friends, and members of communities in educational and faith based settings. Within the mental health system itself, the interventions that have advanced care the most on the ground have not been diagnosis-specific, real progressions in the field are that of innovative community mental health provision, day hospitals, improved staffing and buildings. Outside of medical psychiatry, successful interventions include peer support and crisis intervention, hearing voices groups, all of which ignore or work outside of psychiatric diagnosis. So, in the grand scheme of psychiatric breakthroughs the biggest innovations in the field have grown from social, legal and policy advances, all of which have little or nothing to do with psychiatric diagnosis. Overall the ways in which psychiatric diagnosis has impeded or harmed the provision of care far outweigh the ways in which diagnosis may have advanced
