Responses to classmates must consist of at least 350 words (not including the greeting and the references), do NOT repeat the same thing your classmate is saying, try to add something of value like a resource, educational information to give to patients, possible bad outcomes associated with the medicines discussed in the case, try to include a sample case youve seen at work and discuss how you feel about how that case was handled. Try to use supportive information such as current Tx guidelines, current research related to the treatment, anything that will enhance learning in the online classroom.
Hello Everyone,
When it comes to theories, the different levels of intervention can help with health initiatives because they cover three major aspects of an individualâs life, as well as the health choices they make. In our reading, we learned that there are 3 levels of intervention:
Intrapersonal-internal factors (i.e., skills, knowledge, faith, religion, values, etc.)
Interpersonal-external factors (i.e., how friends/family can influence us via advice, morals, etc.)
Community-social systems (i.e., laws, rules, regulations, etc.)
(Hayden, 2017).
When developing health initiatives, using all three would be most beneficial because those three levels have a great impact on oneâs choices. For starters, some people have a very strong moral compass and finding health initiatives that compliment those values would be recipe for success. Also, having the people that are closest to this person being on the same side, or values you are trying to achieve, would also maneuver the person to accept these initiatives. Finally, more times than not, people are going to follow rules and regulations set in place for many reasons, such as fear of consequences or simply agreeing with them; however, having rules set in place that go against that personâs belief system could lead to insubordination.
For example, the COVID vaccine. There was a study done on factors that influence young adults in Pakistan to take the COVID vaccine and the results showed that the younger, more educated individuals were less likely to obtain a COVID vaccine just because its being pushed on them, for the fact that many participants felt they needed more information on the safety and effectiveness in the vaccine in order for the social norm on getting the vaccine to be a positive influence (Ullah et al., 2021). With this being said, being there are rules for many places of business set in place, currently, that are requiring their employees to get the vaccine to stay employed, this has caused an uproar. While there are some who abide this with no problem, there are many others who are choosing to walk away from their careers because of it. The regulation to require the vaccine goes against these peopleâs beliefs and values, which in turn has caused them to revolt. The individuals who are not flighting this regulation are either people who have gotten the vaccine already-whether it was for their health or someoneâs close to them-people who value their career more than their values, or people who donât feel that being forced to take a vaccine goes against their rights. The intrapersonal and interpersonal interventions were more successful among these people when they were more inclined to wear a mask, even if they didnât want to or agree with it, because they didnât feel it was infringing on their rights, as well as because they needed to in order to go shopping or other necessary living situations. Once that was taken a step further to forcing people to inject themselves with something, thatâs when the community intervention stopped working.
