    The Federal Neglect of the Indian Health Service: Root Causes of Inadequate Health Systems for Native Americans and Recommendations for Future Action

    Get PDF
    This article examines both the historical and current government actions that have rendered the Indian Health Service a highly inefficient agency unable to address the poor health outcomes of the Native American community. Findings reveal disparities in funding levels between the Indian Health Service and other government-sponsored healthcare programs, room for growth in the IHS\u27 culturally-conscious programming, and a severe provider shortage across the organization. A study of the COVID-19 pandemic\u27s toll on the Navajo Nation and its healthcare facilities highlights these existing issues at the IHS as well as the organization\u27s ill-preparedness for public health emergencies. Recommendations for future IHS reforms include reclassification of the IHS as a mandatory government spending program, increased emphasis on community-based, culturally-conscious IHS programming, and recruitment of more Native American providers

    Exploring Student Perceptions of Technology-Mediated Social Work Practice through Supportive Education Frameworks

    Get PDF
    Clinical social workers place a high value on personal relationships and therefore question the efficacy of technology-mediated therapy. A common concern with technology-mediated practice is the lack of body language that could impede the formation of a therapeutic alliance. Educators share these concerns and have developed the Community of Inquiry (COI) framework. This banded dissertation uses the COI framework that conveys the ideal online educational experience through the concepts of a social, cognitive, and teaching presence. The first scholarly section of this banded dissertation is a conceptual article regarding the COI. This article is outlines how COI may be used as a conceptual framework for conducting online therapy. COI provides guidance for educators who strive to have a positive experience with online teaching. Likewise, this model can serve as guide for clinical social workers wishing to engage in online therapy. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how COI may be used as a conceptual framework for conducting online therapy. The second scholarly section is an article derived from the direct research completed for this banded dissertation. Technology-mediated services such as email, texting, phone calls, and video conferencing has the potential to increase participation in mental health services. However, many social work practitioners perceive online therapy as inferior to face-to-face therapy. This mixed methods study explored this perception during technology-mediated role-played sessions with Master of Social Work (MSW) students at a rural mid-western university. The third scholarly section is a poster presentation. A poster was created by this author to depict the findings from this research study and subsequently presented at a national conference for collegiate educators. The presentation was based from the second scholarly section of this banded dissertation. Findings suggested that participants perceived there was no significant difference in forming a therapeutic alliance during face-to-face role-plays and technology-mediated role-plays. The focus groups’ findings provided six themes regarding student perceptions of technology-mediated social work practice. The findings and discussion are showcased within the poster. There is an array of implications to social work practice, education and research as a result of these findings from this banded dissertation. For the social work profession to evolve within the digital era, new curriculum must be created, or old curriculum must be updated to infuse technology-mediated practices. It is essential that educators challenge existing paradigms which incorrectly indicate that online therapy is less effective than face-to-face therapy. This paradigm shift is imperative to the continued growth and evolution of the social work profession

    The concept of happiness is interpreted by using many meanings and a variety of denotations in social sciences. Human happiness(quality of life, life satisfaction, subjective well-being, level of positive emotions, etc.) is schematized in many differentcontexts of theoretical, empirical, and experimental studies. Various efforts of experts aimed at understanding, describing, andexplaining the experience of happiness bring many interesting findings, applicable in both the commercial and noncommercialsector. At the same time, empirical data dispute many stereotypes of human happiness, its laic and intuitive interpretation. Thereality is more complicated. Life satisfaction and experienced human happiness are determined by a number of cultural-social,economic, or psychological factors. In this regard, we aim to learn about the potential effects of social comparison, socialadaptation, and impact of money on the subjective level of experienced happiness and quality of life. It is becoming apparentthat social comparison is an important factor for perceiving one’s own satisfaction and happiness. The level of achieved positiveemotions and the period of experiencing such emotions depend on the nature of such emotions’ source. Money is onlyimportant to a certain degree for subjective perception of the quality of life

    Gestalt Therapy Approach to Depressive Experiences

    Get PDF
    Mourning and depressive experience are distinguished to highlight the core of the suffering of people in depression. In the mourning experience a specific person or situation becomes unreachable and therein lies the loss suffered. The experience of melancholic depression differs: what is lost is that which anchors the subject to the fabric which connects him/her to the world. A radically relational approach to depression where the client and therapist are seen as depressing here and now in the therapy’s situation is introduced
