(2) Give examples of psychosocial factors that affect the persevering and the effect those factors could have on long-suffering education I only have an example of psych osocial factors that affect the patient and the effect those factors on patient education are his or her previous experiences. For example, this patient had been case- stiffened horribly on his past vi beat for PTSD.We know this kind of enigma or disorder is real important. Especially to a multitude that were blown up. This type of patients needs extra attention and a protective(predicate) note taking. Guiding him to the right person and perpetually reinforced by a good patient education.

(3) Explain what is meant by personality styles and give examples of approaches that could be utilise to help the patient.Include self-perfection as a factor This is the patients or private lifetime fingerprint or history. Since childbi rth, every human being is already being mold in types of personality styles. One is introvert or extrovert. One is made by thinking and the other is feeling. Example a Marine that has a high pain tolerance. When he presents himself at sickbay, he seems fine and not distressed. Because through his time he learned how to arrest the pain and keep going. This approach will be tough at times because he tell you the only reason he came to sickbay is my boss ordered me to seek medical help.This is so common in the military not showing the true self because the failure of not an option. A good subjective note will determine on how bad his injury is.

In addition, informing his superiors regarding his conditions. (4) List the steps in adjustment to illness and how the patient shares with each of the steps Denial is single of the steps in adjustments to illness.For instance, a patient was diagnosed with lung cancer. That patient will go to all the stages first will be denial, this cant be, next will be anger, why this happened to me now, bargaining is next, I will be a good person and hope this cancer goes away, next is depression, that patient will stop caring and last one is acceptance, he is ready and understand why it happened. This step depends on how the patient will cope on this step. He can go straight acceptance. It is very hard to understand denials.Compensatory strategies for example a patient is so good in playing sports like b call foretball after an uneventful tragedy the patient was injured and ended up his basketball career. Nevertheless, his passion in basketball he ended using his talent by coaching teen kids to be a good player. This is how he copes by helping and communion all his ideas and skills on how to be the scoop up and dominant individual in the court . (5) explain the wellness professionals role in education the patient at disparate life stages The wellness professionals role in teaching at different life stages is very challenging and rewarding.It should be approach on patients aim not at health professional. Patients are not taught all the affectionateness medical terminologies. However, we are taught these terminologies to apply it in our notes. The patient relays to you the problem and the health professional translate to our medical notes and convey it to the medical providers. It should not content if we are dealing with a toddler or a geriatric. Because it how the health professional give wayles and delivers. All stages should be treated the same. Patient education will be taught or relay to the patient in trusting and turn over instructions and always have a time of asking.Either the patient ask the health professional ask first the questions or you ask the question if there is a need of clarification. This is wha t I have been doing when I approach a patient. I get on my knees or sit right next to them. Asking the pertinent questions and before they leave the medical facility. I proudly and confident ask if they need some assistance in getting to their car or escorting them to their love ones and If the patient is able enough I explained to the patient all the important things along with their relatives. 6) watch the role of the family in patient education The role of the family in patient education plays a major part. As we all know family restrain systems is either good or bad. Sometimes, a decision of a family atom can result to a life-altering event towards patients retrieval or vice versa. This also includes their beliefs if they need to continue to support what the health professional instructions or just go with belief not seek further medical treatment because it is not their belief or they are fully convinced by the health professionals patient education.Nevertheless, if a famil y supports and follows the instructions from the health professional it lessens our burden or task in hand. Because we have these supporting group that is willingly to assist you especially when saw your confidence, trust and motivation. (7) How might the family influence the compliance of the patient and what measures can the health care professional use in confabulation with the family The family can influence the patient compliance in many ways. The intensity of the family in helping their sick love ones to the path of recovery.Because the family believes the health professionals explanation was clear and open of all question and suggestion. The best measure use in the communication is one on one with the patients family. Explaining to them all the procedures, what to expect after the procedures, the medications that will be prescribe to the patient and how to assist the patient in day-to-day task. succeeding(a) it up by appointments and reminding them a day prior of the follo w up appointments. Psychosocial factors and patient education will always come in hand to hand.It is how the health professional approach a patient in different stages. Adaptable and overcome. This is what I was been taught and learned when I was in military for 20 years. Always on the ready to any things that comes to you.
