CAPELLA Evidence-based Strategies For Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Running head: INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION Interdisciplinary Collaboration Sarai Artires Capella University February 2019 1 INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION 2 Interdisciplinary Collaboration The concept of collaboration in the healthcare industry is purely grounded at providing holistic and all-inclusive service care to the many people who seek health care from health institutions. The value of healthcare is derived from its ability to cater for the many existing and emerging healthcare issues while at the same time ensuring care, efficiency, and accountability by those caregivers involved. As such, each discipline must strive to form collaboration with other disciplines as a way of ensuring that patients are addressed efficiently, effectively, and professionally, while at the same time ensure the industry does not suffer from a lack of intuitive collaboration. The fact that health is versatile in provision, its

maintenance, and its sustenance demands that healthcare providers form a network that allows individual disciplines to function together (Susilaningsih, Mediani & Kurniawan, 2018). Therefore, collaboration in healthcare is essential in ensuring the provision of care is done professionally, and that individual disciplines (within the healthcare system) know and understand their role in such a way that ensures efficiency while at the same time it is cost-effective. There are specific characteristics that define an effective interdisciplinary collaboration within any field, and they include: Communication For any collaboration to happen, there must be a clear line of communication that allows individuals within these individual disciplines to collaborate with each other. Communication forms an essential part of the collaboration effort, as each discipline is unique and different in its way. The lack of communication allows for confusion that may result in a conflict of interest between these groups. As such, each of these disciplines must be able to communicate its interests, problems, challenges, and needs to the other groups involved to create order. The INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION 3 process of collaboration is heavily reliant on effective communication that allows every team to effect and play its role as it is meant to. Leadership and Management For collaboration to happen, each interdisciplinary must have the right leadership that guides its members to incorporate other disciplines within its function. The value of collaboration is to ease the function of each discipline. This can only be affected through leadership that ensures that every team member understands and values their role in ensuring effectiveness. Leadership, in turn, ensures management in performance as a way of ensuring that there are no gaps left by individual members of each group. As a result, each team can play its role effectively without interfering with the others (Schmitt et al., 2011). Appropriate Skill Mix Collaboration is about a mixture of skills that allows for a collective improved function between the collaborating groups. Collaboration cannot be done between individuals or disciplines that possess the same kind of skills set. The versatility of skills within a group or disciplines accords the collaboration the value and importance that allows for each team to find a need to collaborate. More so, these skills must be appropriate to allow the collaboration to have importance and significance in the role it is meant to fulfill. Communication is the backbone upon which interdisciplinary collaboration functions upon. Therefore, individual teams must strive to create a clear line of communication that allows for an effective movement of information from one point to another with ease. The failure to have a clear line of communication makes collaboration extremely difficult, this because teams fail to find the balance needed to ensure effective collaboration and as a result, the intention of the collaboration is lost (Susilaningsih, Mediani & Kurniawan, 2018). INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION 4 Usually, each discipline has its philosophy that allows it to fulfill its goals And Ensure its function. These philosophies may differ per individual group, hence when diverse groups come together; these philosophies may collide. As a result, this may bring about differences that may hinder the collaboration effort that was meant to allow these groups are disrupted. It is usually difficult to enjoin individual philosophies into a cohesive function as each discipline is hinged on ensuring it attains its goals. This may hinder the collaboration effort and its intended function and goal (Schmitt et al., 2011). Usually collaboration is about sharing the available resources, however, this usually very difficult. This especially when one discipline has a lot of resources while another one has little resources. This creates a problem in effective collaboration as individual disciplines find it difficult to share fully and usually resentment develops leading to a failure in communication. As a result, the collaboration effort is blinded and affected by the indifference between these groups. Therefore, individual groups must have a balance of resources that allows individuals within each group to find a reason to share whatever resources they have at their disposal (Petri, 2010). The best way to overcome barriers to effective interdisciplinary collaboration is to have a realistic plan that provides the group with the needed guideline to interact with these other disciplines. Such a plan provides the group with the needed guideline that allows for the effective implementation of individual goals. It also defines the terms of collaboration in such a manner that ensures each group understands their role and plays such a role effectively. The function of collaboration is based on effective communication that allows each team to protect itself while at the same time ensures the fulfillment of the goal. Therefore, if the communication channels are open, then the barriers to communication can be easily be avoided INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION 5 since each discipline can know its role and fulfills it (Susilaningsih, Mediani & Kurniawan, 2018). Within every society, there are individual factors that affect, and influence health choices adopted within such a society. These factors play a crucial role in defining how healthcare workers implement their care plan, especially regarding emerging medical problems. These factors include cultural values, traditional beliefs, social biases and stereotypes, and economic factors. These factors influence the attitude individuals within the society adopt in term of health and their health-conscious behavior. as a result, they play a very important role in determining how implementation of healthcare initiatives is achieved as it affects even the way healthcare workers choose to implement their goals. Collaboration is purely based on the improvement of value within the workplace. As a result, the outlined goals for each group are achieved easily, faster, and with an improved value. When collaboration is done effectively, healthcare functions such as treatment, admission, or even interventions are done better, faster, and less costly. It is therefore important that when collaboration is done, each group understands its role, the value of such collaboration and is ready to fulfill their objective. This benefits the entire system and ensures improved function. Collaboration is usually done to allow each group to maximize on its resources by reducing the workload previously born by each group. More so, collaboration allows each group to maximize its function in such a manner that removes the previous hindrances that affected each of these groups. Through collaboration, existing hindrances are removed, as each team is not alone in fulfilling its set roles and objectives. As a result, there is an improved way of doing things, which INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION enables each team to function fluidly. Collaboration is very crucial in creating efficacy and effectiveness within the workplace (Schmitt et al., 2011). 6 INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION 7 References Petri, L. (2010).

Running head: FRENCH CANADIAN AND GERMAN HERITAGE Dilsy Ricardo Florida National University Nursing Department BSN Program NUR 4636 02/07/2019 Prof. Cassandre Milien, RN MSN 1 FRENCH CANADIAN AND GERMAN HERITAGE 2 1. Describe the health care beliefs of the German and French-Canadian heritages and mention the influence in the delivery of evidence-based health care. All home health duties are traditionally believed to lie with the mother in German culture. These include home remedies as well as arrangements for check-ups. The Germans believe in prevention as opposed to treatment. They are also inclined toward seeking over the counter treatment before delving into professional inquiries (Mossailos & Sarnak, 2016). They highly value natural

medications such as herbs, roots and so on. Due to their high esteem, physical and mental disabilities are a hard pill to swallow for them (Osborn & Sarnak, 2015). They are, however, not opposed to any modern health care advancement as long as it does not contradict a religious belief. German beliefs often negatively influence the delivery of evidence-based health care. For instance, genetically acquired disabilities are seen as an untreatable shame in society and often left unattended to. When it comes to the French Canadians, they ensure unrestricted accessibility to healthcare upon admission into the system (Best & Miller, 2015). A class system determines health care. This is with higher economic status having personal physicians. Those on the lower side opt to wait for a life and death situation before seeking the necessary care. For the French Canadians, the language barrier proves to be a challenge. Their health care culture is greatly influenced by their Catholic faith. Blood and organ donations are a personal decision with little to no constructive interference. There is a split influence on evidence-based health care delivery due to social stratification. 2. Discuss if there is any similarity in the health care beliefs and practices of the German and French-Canadian heritage with the health care beliefs of your culture. FRENCH CANADIAN AND GERMAN HERITAGE 3 There are several similarities to be seen with my heritage beliefs and the two systems. When it comes to a comparison with the French Canadians, the first meeting point is the socioeconomic factor. In the two, health care accessibility is highly influenced by social stratification. There is also a similarity in pain expression (Rash, 2017). The immigrants record different levels of pain expression as opposed to inherent inhabitants. There is also a similarity to be viewed with a high level of OTC utilization. There is a huge number of individuals recorded to make use of over the counter drugs in both cases. There are also similarities to be identified with the German culture. For instance, there is the use of traditional and indigenous medication. This is a common ground for both cultures. There’s a considerable preference for naturally acquired medication such as herbs, spices, and the likes. They are also alike in terms of home care provision. This is in terms of the family member who is responsible for taking care of the family health care issue. The mother of the home is left with the duty of taking care of all health-related concerns in the household. There is also the fact that health care coverage is one’s prerogative. This is in contrast to the Canadian Universal Coverage plan which is made available to all individuals recorded into the system. 3. If you have to change your health care beliefs for any of one study this week, which one will you choose and why? If I were to change any of the above health care beliefs, I would choose to go with the German Health care culture. This is owing to many reasons. First off, they are high believers in the notion that prevention is better than cure. Therefore, from the onset of birth children are subjected to a preemptive sort of medication. This is such as through immunizations, daily intake of vitamins and so on. There is also the fact that the nutritional values of Germany lean toward a healthy side. This is such as the fact that they keep high-calorie diets to a minimum intake. This FRENCH CANADIAN AND GERMAN HERITAGE 4 ensures that lifestyle diseases caused by inadequate nutrition as well as malnutrition are kept at bay. Furthermore, I am inclined to the use of natural remedies. This is because they are less harmful as opposed to modern medications which are often filled with chemical toxins. This would also apply to home remedies. Putting OTC as a first priority is also a pull factor. This is because it is often a lifesaver in a fiscal sense. German culture does not contain a lot of restrictions when it comes to health care advancement. This is in a sense there is not much opposition to the use of new and developed health care innovations. The only limitation for most is often upon superimposition with the religious beliefs. However, decisions are often left to an individual’s preferences and desires. FRENCH CANADIAN AND GERMAN HERITAGE 5 References Best, K. L., Routhier, F., & Miller, W. C. (2015).

Running head: PEOPLE OF FRENCH CANADIAN AND GERMAN HERITAGE People of French-Canadian and German Heritage Karen Echenique Florida National University Culture in Nursing Prof. Cassandre Milien, MSN 1 PEOPLE OF FRENCH CANADIAN AND GERMAN HERITAGE 2 People of French Canadian and German Heritage The first wave of German immigrants came to America for religious freedom. There are over 50 million Americans from German descendants. Although, today, communities continue to use their customs, specifically those who use healthcare. Usually in German families, the mother is the person in charge of the children receiving check-ups, immunizations, and ensuring the intake of supplements. In traditional families, women in the families are often the main overseer of home remedies and treatments. Roots, soups, camphor, peppermint, ammonia, herbs, and poultices are among the most common ingredients for natural remedies. Over the counter medications are also widely used by German Americans because they often believe that each individual is responsible for their own health. Physical disabilities caused by injuries are more accepted than that of innate disabilities. Mental disabilities are lacked in acceptance and are view as a mistake. Germany is among the leading countries in the world who developed both the National and Biomedical insurance in Europe. Biomedical care is general for all of its citizens and is said to be of high quality. Germans have an advantage in medical technology because of their economy and they are able to have many hospitals and doctors per say. In 1997, there was an outbreak of heart disease and cancer which accounted to about 48% of all deaths in eastern and western Germany. Thanks to their advancement in medicine, Germans, were able to help and save many people at the time. As a tradition, Germans, also believe in “naturopathic medicine” which includes water cures of several types. Most members of the German Biomedical corporation have opposed naturopathic medicine but are still used to some length. Most German-Americans demand straight-forward verbal communication about diagnoses and treatments. Moreover, these individuals are always promptly on time and strictly PEOPLE OF FRENCH CANADIAN AND GERMAN HERITAGE 3 believe on being punctual especially when it deals with health. Health care providers and their team should ensure to meet these patients on time and on schedule along with their medication. (Betancourt, Green, Carrillo, & Owusu Ananeh-Firempong, 2016). The use of contraceptives is highly frowned upon in strict German Catholics. Additionally, female patients prefer consulting with the same sex health care personnel but have no problem with receiving treatment from either gender. Conclusively, they have no problem or limitations on blood transfusions or transplantations of any sort. Alcoholism and cigarette smoking are prevalent health behaviors for this specific group of people. Therefore, there are higher chances for cardiac and respiratory diseases. Residing in America, there are about 2.2 million individuals who are French-Canadian. The two main languages are French and English, and less than half of the population uses French as their native language. French-Canadians inherited most of their customs from the first French settlers. Canada has free, general health coverage for all of its residents. Moreover, people in the upper socioeconomic class have family doctors rather than seeking medical care from local community centers or hospitals. Health care providers hold a promising status for FrenchCanadians, especially geriatrics. The health insurance system in Canada is attentive to patients who are practicing folk remedies outside of the law or government issued care. Most FrenchCanadians also use over the counter medications on the regular and have no problem receiving donations, transplantations or blood transfusions. The decision to donate or receive an organ is based on the individual’s personal decision and based on family or cultural influence. Some of their natural cultural beliefs play a significant role in evidence-based compentent care. They strongly believe in natural childbirth and its benefits. Moreover, in the delivery room, men are usually allowed depending on the mother’s choice. Respect from health care personnel PEOPLE OF FRENCH CANADIAN AND GERMAN HERITAGE 4 is expected, especially in older adults. Their heritage expects the expression of one’s feeling and therefore will be open with the provider during the assessment and procedures. In addition, women rarely use contraception that is inserted vaginally but are fine with using other forms of contraception’s as in pills and tubal ligation. French-Canadians and Germans share some similarities with my heritage including accepting blood transfusions, transplantations and donations. As seen in both cultures, the mother is the alpha of the family. She is in charge of all the health care related issues such as immunization and medication regimens. Prayers are usually connected with giving the patient strength and faith as they recover from their illnesses. Conclusively, most often, oral contraceptives are accepted as the most common form of birth control. Most geriatric patients prefer a same sex provider for consultations and admissions but don’t mind different genders for treatments. If I were to change to my health care beliefs to any of the cultures mentioned above, I would probably change to German health culture. Initially, Germans are high believers in preventing any illnesses before you have to cure them, and critically, I think it is a smart idea. I am a big believer in natural remedies as well, they are less harmful contrasting to medications used today. Additionally, from birth, children receive immunizations to prevent many diseases and intake of supplements and vitamins. Germans also value nutrition and believe in high calorie diets, which is a factor I need to learn to improve my diet. German heritage also does not limit the use of health care technology, expect those who impose due to religious beliefs, which is only a small percentage of individuals.

Paragraph 6

Please write a paragraph responding to the discussion bellow. Add citations and references in alphabetical order.

Based on the objective data presented, apparently Mr. C. is undergoing various medical health risk condition correlate with his excessive gaining weight (obesity) which warrant him to seek medical intervention for possible bariatric surgery. However, according to National Institute of Health (NIH, n. d), sequel to his elevated body mass index (BMI) of 47.8, with his height of 68inches (5feet 6inhces) and weight 134.5kg (296lbs), basically surgery is an option for his weight loss. However, obesity can constitute a complex progressively or exacerbate a wide spectrum of co-morbidities, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease (CVD), liver dysfunction, respiratory and musculoskeletal disorders, sub-fertility, psychosocial problems, and certain types of cancer (American Heart Association, 2017).

Upon careful assessment and evaluation of the below data:

  1. High blood pressure elevated: 172/96,(120/80)
  2. Diabetes with elevated Fasting blood Glucose: 146mg/dlL (<100mg/dL) 5.6mmol/l
  3. High Cholesterol (Fatty Liver): elevated 250mg/dL (<200mg/dL)
  4. Hyperlipemia with Triglycerides elevated 312mg/dL (<150mg/dL)
  5. sleep apnea. Rapid respiration of 26

Metabolic disorder is not factor for Mr. C to gain weight, maybe he has genetical impact/leptin resistance/certain food habits or sedentary life style caused sudden recent weight gain about 100pounds in last 2-3years as reflected in the data.

Obesity is an abnormal accumulation of fat, it is one of the biggest health problems in the world. It correlates or associated with diverse or various other diseases, which combined kill millions of people per year.In another contemporary, Obesity constitutes a worldwide epidemic with prevalence rates which are increasing in most Western societies and in the developing world. According toWorld Health Organization (WHO) declared obesity a global epidemic,

Bariatric surgery should be a last priority after trying conventional therapies such as consuming fewer calories, increasing exercise, commercial weight-loss programs, etc. His BMI is 47.9 along with other comorbidities he has and may leads to further health impediment or problems so, he has to lose weight by taking aggressive approach (National Institute of Health n. d). Mr. C can undergo gastric bypass surgery if conventional therapies are not helping in losing weight. Gastric bypass is surgery that helps you lose weight by changing how your stomach and small intestine handle the food you eat(American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery).

For his Peptic ulcer disease Mr. C Should follow the below drug administration chart

Magnesium hydroxide/aluminum hydroxide (Mylanta) 15 mL 10AM (3hrs after breakfast) 4PM (3hrs after Lunch) 9PM (3hrs after Dinner) 10.30PM (At bed time)
Ranitidine (Zantac) 300 mg PO at bedtime. 10.30 10.30 PM (At bed time)
Sucralfate/Carafate 1 g or 10ml suspension (500mg / 5mL) 6AM (1hr before Breakfast) 12PM (1hr before Lunch) 5pm (1hr before dinner) 10.30 PM (At bed time)

ANS 1:

Assessment of Mr. C. functional health patterns:

  • Health perception/ health management-Mr. C. may be depressed because of his weight so he needs medication and diet compliance and also will need regular exercises and regular annual checkups.
  • Nutritional metabolic pattern – his pattern of food consumption and fluid intake will have to be moderated so that it can reduce his weight also help in his metabolism
  • Sexuality-reproductive activity– may be affected with low libido and dissatisfaction due to his weight and also could also affect his sexual relationships
  • Coping/ stress tolerance-Mr. C. may not be able to tolerate lots of stress because of his body image and thoughts of his weight so he may need available support systems to help him to cope
  • Value-belief-Mr. C. may have problems with his value beliefs and spiritual goals so he may need guidance and spiritual support as his values or beliefs may conflict with his health issues and special religious practices.
  • Elimination-his patterns of excretory patterns may be affected especially bowel movement by the medications he is taking, and there may be frequency or pain in urination and appearance of urine and stool secondary to the disease process and medications.

ANS 2:

The identified Actual or potential health problems:

1. Type2 Diabetes with Rationale : It may be that being overweight causes cells to change, making them resistant to the hormone insulin. Insulin carries sugar from blood to the cells, where it is used for energy. When a person is insulin resistant, blood sugar cannot be taken up by the cells, resulting in high blood sugar.

2. High Blood Pressure with Rationale: Having a large body size may increase blood pressure because your heart needs to pump harder to supply blood to all your cells. Excess fat may also damage your kidneys, which help regulate blood pressure.

3. Heart disease with Rationale: People who are overweight or obese often have health problems that may increase the risk for heart disease. Excess weight may cause changes to your heart that make it work harder to send blood to all the cells in your body.

4. Sleep Apnea with Rationale: A person who is overweight may have more fat stored around his or her neck. This may make the airway smaller. A smaller airway can make breathing difficult or loud (because of snoring), or breathing may stop altogether for short periods of time. In addition, fat stored in the neck and throughout the body may produce substances that cause inflammation. Inflammation in the neck is a risk factor for sleep apnea.

5. Osteoarthritis with Rationale: Extra weight may place extra pressure on joints and cartilage (the hard but slippery tissue that covers the ends of your bones at a joint), causing them to wear away. In addition, people with more body fat may have higher blood levels of substances that cause inflammation. Inflamed joints may raise the risk for osteoarthritis.

Nursing Research Discussion Violence Against Healthcare Professionals

My understanding of disparities in healthcare is that there are imbalanced health differences interrelated with social, economic or environmental disadvantages that adversely affect groups of people. The term describes how certain groups of people suffer from health problems in comparison to other groups. The groups can be categorized by sex, ethnicity, age, or income status. The following are 2 Healthy People 2020 Objectives for health disparities: HDS-5.2 Reduce the proportion of children and adolescents with hypertension (8-17 years old) (“Disparities | Healthy People 2020”, 2019). The data states that from 2011 -2014, 3.4% of Mexican American children suffered from hypertension compared to the lowest rate which was 1.7% (white children, not Hispanic), Overall, 3.5 % of children suffer from hypertension, with the 2020 target being 3.2%. C-4: Cervical cancer deaths (age adjusted, per 100,000 population) (“Disparities | Healthy People 2020”, 2019). The data shows that Black or African American females die at a higher rate than other races from cervical cancer. In 2016, 3.2 black women per 100,000 died from cervical cancer compared to the best groups death rate (Asian and Pacific Islander) which was 1.7 per 100,000. The average is 2.5 with the 2020 target being 2.2 deaths per 100,000. The Minority Health and Health Disparity Research Center began in 2002 dedicated to conducting research and operating an outreach center that addresses health disparities in populations that are considered vulnerable. It was made successful with the partnership of NBA player Charles Barkley in 2004. The organization is especially dedicated to minority health issues and disadvantaged communities. Currently, the center has several ongoing research projects aimed at helping the community in areas such as obesity, Diabetes, children’s health, and elderly healthcare. The center has also provided more than 4.1 million dollars in funding to research projects that is dedicated to decreasing health disparities among disadvantaged populations. The center sponsors several outreach programs such as Healthy Happy Kids which educates children on the importance of nutrition and staying active. Childhood obesity is a real problem in the U.S., especially in the South. This program has worked to make eating healthy a rewarding experience through activities such as having local chefs show children how to prepare healthy foods, sometimes in a form of “an Iron Chef-Inspired competition”. This innovative program has been a big success for the center.

The CHAAMPS program is aimed at conducting research that focuses on the health of black American men that they believe have been overlooked over the years. The research program acknowledges that poor health among black men is contributed to social position, socially determined circumstances, and socioeconomic factors that plague this population.
