Abstract:

Animal‑Assisted Intervention (AAI) is used to significantly reduce pain, lower blood pressure, decrease anxiety, and help ease depression in people with a range of health problems; however, it is not readily used in the hospital setting. Research involving the Human‑Animal Bond (HAB) is well established, yet most social workers receive no special training or coursework about this topic as it applies to working with patients or consumers. This study sought to understand the beliefs about AAI among medical social workers in healthcare settings in order to gauge what knowledge and degree of expos

ABSTRACT Centered on interviews with 13 hospice care professionals from two large hospice organizations in Southern California, this thesis project examines the challenges that arise in hospice work. Hospice’s delivery of end-of-life care is becoming even more significant as the population lives longer. According to the National Institute on Aging (2014), the face of aging in the United States is changing dramatically. This examination discloses some of the challenges that hospice workers face in a continuously changing health care system, while trying to provide extraordinary service to the t

Abstract:

Introduction: Discrimination from health workers has been found to be a deterrent for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBTI) people seeking healthcare. Despite these findings, LGBTI-focused healthcare remains understated in medical training and university curricular. Learning about medical students' attitudes can provide useful ways of identifying interventions to capacitate health professionals to address LGBTI health.

Combined, the processes of modernisation and globalization are altering how individuals engage with traditions. Among the areas where striking changes have occurred is health.

Introduction: Research suggests that at least 50% of cancers could be prevented through lifestyle modifications including reductions in tobacco and alcohol, increases in physical activity, weight control, diet improvements, safer sex practices and sun protection (Colditz, Sellers, & Trapido, 2006). The early detection of cancer increases the chance of successful treatment of the disease.

The advent of universally accessible healthcare data benefits all participants, but one of the outstanding problems that must be addressed is how to uniquely identify and link a patient to his or her specific medical data. To date, a few solutions to this problem have been proposed that are limited in their effectiveness. We propose the use of biometric technology within our FIRD framework i
