For example, personal and group debriefing sessions are available to paramedics in Australia. Provided for those personnel who were left feeling uneasy or traumatised after attending an accident or disaster. Though some may have been able to cope perfectly fine due to their own methods of coping, they may still attend such group sessions to show solidarity and support for their team members. This effectively builds resilience within the healthcare sector which can ultimately lead to improved productivity and unification in practice (Williams & Keep, 2012).
pick a factor and narrow in on it so it's different to talk about? Like social support, coping methods, Locus of control for either the patient or healthcare
- the concept of resilience
- violent patients and trauma building resilience in healthcare : coping
- building resilience in patient : social support, economical status
- breaking in patient : diagnosis, confusion
So you basically analyse a factor for building and breaking and find some scientist or smarty bum online or in a book to support
Effects of medical problems e.g. results of strokes, Parkinson’s disease; effects of physiological changes e.g.constriction of cerebral circulation; degenerationof brain cells; aphasia,agnosia; mental health issues; inappropriate responses from others;fear of abuse.

Some of these problems may be financial, psychological or medical. The economic challenges include incurring extra expenses on the solving issues that arise from the social aspects. Such issues could have been solved if the social aspects of minimizing trauma had been integrated into the medical model. Psychological challenges include stress and depression. Possible medical problems that may befall the patient include ill health and chronic diseases. In some instances, the body may develop an immunity system that is resistant to drugs. For this reason, the patient develops a condition whereby they have to be put on constant medication (Cheeseman,
Age is another significant factor; if they are middle-age adults or elderly, they might want to enjoy the time with their loved ones instead of being depressed about the cancer. In the emotional dimension, patients diagnosed with lung cancer can feel a variety of emotions such as fear, depression, anger, guilt and confusion. I believe stress affects the body in a negative way and being calm affects the body in a positive way. For example, as the textbook states, “Long time stress affects the body system, and anxiety affects the health habits; conversely, calm acceptance and relaxation can actually change body response to illness”(Taylor, 45). I agree with this concept, people who tend to accept and focus on positive things; the body reacts to their emotions in a positive way.
A simple way of thinking about it is that there are many tools available for a carpenter to use but when it comes to nails a hammer does best. It is possible to use many different treatments for a single patient and as the situations change the process needs to change as well. Reading the article Importance of debriefing following critical incidents, I find that after a traumatic situation in the hospital it is important to communicate thoughts and feelings to understand yourself. The article states “Working in emergency departments (EDs) is inherently stressful, and stress caused by events such as witnessed death, elder or child abuse, and aggression and violence can have profound effects on staff” (Healy, 2013). In another article written by Hammerle in 2017 debriefing meetings can help Nursing and medical staff manage their own stress after critical incidents. Understanding and group discussion goes a long way in helping staff handle stressors.
...and observing the consequences. The role of self-efficacy is also emphasized by Bandura; self-efficacy underlies people’s faith in their own abilities. Self-efficacy can be developed by paying close attention to past success and failures, positive reinforcement and encouragement from others also plays a role in developing self-efficacy. The social cognitive theory is unique among other learned personality theories in that the emphasis places on the reciprocity between individuals and the environments they find themselves in. Learning theorists have been accuses of oversimplifying personality to such an extent that is has become meaningless, this is because they ignore many of the internal processes that are inherently human. These criticisms are blunted somewhat by social cognitive approaches because it explicitly considers the role of the cognitive process.

Self-efficacy is the belief that someone has the inherent ability to achieve a goal. A student who has a high self-efficacy allows himself to believe that he can be successfully academically.(Bozo & Flint, 2008) He believes that a challenging problem is a task that can be mastered This student is more committed to work in the classroom. (Schunk,1991). On the other hand, a student who has a low level of self-efficacy is likely to be academically motivated. He is more likely to avoid a task that is difficult, give up, make excuses, or lose confidence in his abilities (Margolis & McCabe, 2006). This failure becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Teachers need to find ways to motivate these students by increasing their self-efficacy.
Self-efficacy emerged from theories related to motivation, competence and a feeling of control. Rodgers’ (1993) stated that the “evolutionary” method of concept analysis is used in clarifying the concept of interest. By following this approach, abstract characteristics of a concept can be identified and grouped for the purpose of developing a clear and useful definition of the concept. Once the concept is defined, a model case can be described to demonstrate the concepts attributes, antecedents, and consequence. A literary search and a grouping of characteristics will be used to process a constant comparative analysis and to refine the data into a clear and concise definition appropriate for our use.

Some effects can include heart problems, musculoskeletal conditions, migraines, and headaches. Other effects that could arise include internal problems in our body. people who identified as being in poor health were more than twice as likely (60%) to report experiencing a great deal of stress within the past month. Eight in 10 (80%) of those in poor health reported that their own health problems contributed to their stress, and more than half (58%) attributed the health problems of a family member (Rober wood 2014). Every person has a different kind of stress. There are a several causes of stress, such as life, family, health, study and work stress. Forty percent of U.S. workers admit to experiencing office stress, and one-quarter say work is the biggest source of stress in their lives (WebMD). One of the most causes of the stress of college students is the examination and test, that makes us feel very stressful and nervous. Stress makes us difficult control our emotion. Our results suggest that even mild stress, such as that encountered in daily life, may impair the ability to use cognitive techniques known to control fear and anxiety,” lead author Candace Raio, Ph.D. said in a press release. Also, stress could make us gain some weight and that would be impacting our body and heart health. Also, it is contributing to the high blood pressure. It has been suggested that stress triggers
The concept of self-efficacy is grounded in Bandura’s (1977) social learning theory. Bandura (1994) defines perceived self-efficacy as “people’s beliefs about their capabilities to produce efforts” (p. 71). In essence, one having strong self-efficacy experience increase in motivation, accomplishment, and personal well-being ( Bandura, 1994). Those with a low sense of self-efficacy, on the other hand, often suffer stress and depression; unbelieving of their capabilities and often succumbed to failure (Bandura, 1994).
Stress on individuals can bring numerous numbers of health problems, for example; heart disease. Researches have declared that having stress increase heart rate and blood flow, and causes release of cholesterol and triglycerides into the bloodstream. Another example is the Alzheimer’s disease, stress could potentially worsen Alzheimer’s disease causing its brain lesions to form more quickly. Individuals should be aware that being stressed could lead to major problems in the long run, but with the proper care and staying positive could help prevent further damages.
Stress is a normal and regular part of life. In and of itself, there is nothing unusual or 'bad' about it. The secret is not hoping to avoid stress but learning techniques that are typically successful in dealing with stress. Here are six, time proven, suggestions.
