Describe the causes of nonadherance to treatment regimens.

A significant area of interest for health psychologists is the research and investigation of factors that influence the adherence and lack of adherence to regimens. An important consideration in effective health services is the relationship established between the wellness provider and the client. The "relationship" is significant not only in the medical model but certainly in the biopsychosocial and holistic wellness models, too. As wellness practitioners seek to provide quality services, it is imperative that we recognize the individualistic nature of clients' cultural considerations including but not limited to: ethnicity, religion, geographic influences, social membership, education, socioeconomic status, etc. It's also important for us to recognize the impact of these factors on health behaviors and holistic wellness. Clear communication and utilizing compassionate, simple terms with clients can help development the strong relationship we want. Avoiding professional jargon and using active listening and collaborative approaches to goals and strategies can strengthen the relationship and support adherence to health and wellness interventions and support the maintenance stage of positive change.Moreover, medication nonadherence is frequent among older adults because of low self-efficacy or a lack of confidence in the physician's knowledge (Chia et al., 2006). A study by Jerry H. Gurwitz and others (2003) showed that adverse drug events are common and often preventable among older persons in the ambulatory clinical setting. Prevention strategies should target the prescribing and monitoring stages of pharmaceutical care. Interventions focused on improving patient adherence with prescribed regimens and monitoring of prescribed medications may be beneficial. Such results indicate that personal and cultural beliefs are important considerations. Health practitioners hold cognitive representations of illness and the patient prototypes. Thus, practitioner stereotypes about their patients may influence the diagnosis of symptoms as well as the quality of care provided to the patient (Mandy, Lucas, and Hodgson, 2007).The chapter by Dunbar-Jacob and Schlenk (2000) can be used to extend the text's discussion of adherence. The authors examine the problems inherent in assessing adherence and predictors of poor adherence and their relation to clinical outcomes. The authors suggest some interventions to promote adherence. The social support literature provides evidence for the relationship of social support and health. DiMatteo's (2004) meta-analysis indicates that social support may contribute to increased adherence. Christensen's (2004) book discusses nonadherence from a psychological and behavioral perspective. In addition, his experience of working with patients has contributed to his understanding of patient characteristics, personality traits of the patient, family and social support, and finally provider characteristics. Effective nonverbal communication can improve adherence to treatment (Guéguen, Meineri, & Charles-Sire, 2010). Disorganized families with no regular routines have poorer adherence (Hall, Dubin, Crossley, Holmqvist, & D'Arcy, 2009; Jokela, Elovainio, Singh-Manoux, & Kivimäki, 2009; Schreier & Chen, 2010).

Define illness representations and illness schema, and explain their influence on the interpretation of symptoms.

A study by Hamilton and Janata (1997) investigated abnormal illness behavior (that is, the overreporting or exaggerating of physical symptoms, preoccupation with illness, medical tests, and so forth), and they proposed that people with low self-esteem or identity problems engage in these behaviors in an effort to construct a positive sense of self. A more recent article by Miczo (2004) argues that sick-role behavior may be better conceptualized as a set of illness attitudes and care-seeking behaviors. He found that attitudinal factors (release, consideration, burden, and deviance) were moderate predictors of care-seeking intentions, as were stressors and social support for the sick role. Taking the study of sick-role behavior further, Frederick Anyan (2012) researched the differences between sick-role behavior in men and women. The findings from the study indicated that men's conceptualization of illness involved the exhaustion of internal bodily organs and the absence of strength—requiring assistance to function in daily activities. The findings also indicated that women's conceptualization of illness involved mainly the impairment of physiological functioning and the feeling of weakness or nausea.

Acute illness

Compare acute and chronic pain. Define the different kinds of chronic pain (i.e., chronic benign pain, recurrent acute pain, and chronic progressive pain).

Acute pain - typically results from a specific injury and produces tissue damage - such as a wound or broken limb. As such, it typically disappears when the damage is repaired. Acute pain usually short in duration and defined as 6 months or less. Chronic pain typically begins wth an acute episide, but unlike acute pain, does not decrease with treatment and the passage of time. Chronic benign pain can persist 6 mos or more and is relatively unresponsive to treatment. Pain varies in severity and may invlove any of several muscle groups. Low back pain, is an example. Recurrent acute pain involves intermittent episodes of pain that are acute in character but recur for more than 6 months. Migraine, TMJ, trigeminal neuralgia examples. Chronic progressive pain lasts longer than 6 months and increases in severity over time. Rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and more. Acute vs chronic pain important for clinical management. Present different psychological profiles, can have an overlay of psychological distress, and complicates diagnosis and treatment strategies. Many chronic pain patients develop maladaptive coping strategies, such as catastrophizing illness, engaging in wishful thinking, or withdrawing socially. Most pain control techniques work well with acute pain but are less successful with chronic pain, which requires individualized techniques to be successful.

One study (Friedman et al., 1993) assessed young people in the early 1920s to see if differences in personality in childhood predicts who lived longer. Those people who were highly conscientious as children were more likely to live to an old age (Friedman et al., 1995; Costa, Weiss, Duberstein, Friedman, & Siegler, 2014; Hampson, Edmons, Goldberg, Dubanoski, & Hillier, 2013; Turiano, Chapman, Gruenwald, & Mroczek, 2015). Conscientious people may be more successful at avoiding harmful situations, they may think more about their health (Hill, Turiano, Hurd, Mroczek, & Roberts, 2011), they may be more adherent to treatment recommendations (Hill & Roberts, 2011), they practice good health habits (Hampson, Edmons, Goldberg, Dubanoski, & Hillier, 2015), and they use their cognitive abilities effectively

Explain the medical and psychological significance of pain.

Beth Azar (2011) wrote an article "Psychology is key to pain management," which can be found on the American Psychological Association's website. The article briefly talks about pain, methods of managing pain, and the need for better integrated care and research on pain. Pain and Ethnicity Gatchell (2004) provides a comprehensive approach to help individuals who experience acute and chronic pain. Similarly, much research has been conducted to examine cancer pain assessment and management (Chang et al., 2006), the pharmacologic management of cancer pain (Cleary, 2007), spiritual pain among patients with advanced cancer and renal cancer (Mako et al., 2006), and personality characteristics (Green et al., 2008). A recent review of literature (Cintron & Morrison, 2006) reveals several racial and ethnic disparities with regard to pain diagnosis and treatments. For instance, health professionals are more likely to underestimate minority patients' level of pain; African Americans and Latinos are less likely to receive pain medication and more likely not to receive appropriate treatments. Ethnicity and sex may also affect how individuals perceive and express pain (Mailis-Cagnon et al., 2007). Findings also indicate that Latinos are more likely to report more pain relative to Caucasians and, more often, their pain is associated with increased depression (Hernandez & Sachs-Ericsson, 2006). The authors posit that cultural differences in accepting and expressing distress may be associated with higher pain relative to Caucasians.

Explain the physiological aspects of pain.

Coakley and Kaufman's (2008) book provides an interdisciplinary approach of what pain is: Pain is a sensation that can hurt, cause discomfort, distress, or terrible agony. Research on pain is extensive but much of it still remains a mystery. While scientists show that pain sensations can be shaped by psychological state and interpretation, many individuals and cultures experience pain differently. In this book, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, anthropologists, musicologists, and religious scholars examine the ways that meditation, music, prayer, and ritual can mediate pain, offer a narrative that transcends the sufferer, and give public dignity to private agony. This book includes various topics such as the molecular basis of pain, the controversial status of gate control theory, the possible links between the relaxation response and meditative practices in Christianity and Buddhism, and the mediation of pain and intense emotion in music, dance, and ritual. Turk and Okifuji's (2002, 2003) provide theoretical models and discuss ways to learn pain using learning theory. In addition, they examine the affective and cognitive components of pain.

Emotional-Approach Coping

is influenced not only by the internal resources a person brings to a stressor, such as resources and coping style, but also by external resources. These include time, money, education, a decent job, friends, family, standard of living, the presence of positive life events, and the absence of other life stressors. People with greater resources typically cope with stressful events better, because time, money, friends, and other resources simply provide more ways of dealing with a stressful event.

Describe the social and psychological factors that influence the recognition and interpretation of symptoms.

Geropsychologists seek to understand the negative age stereotypes with regard to health issues (Dittmann, 2008). Elderly people are often stereotyped as incompetent and forgetful (Cuddy et al., 2005; Erber et al., 1996), and such beliefs may lead elderly individuals and health professionals to associate health symptoms with aging, which can have tragic outcomes. For instance, Sarkisian and colleagues (2006) published an article regarding the growing body of research investigating beliefs about aging and health, and they reported that if older adults attribute their health problems to aging, they may not seek medical treatment, which results in greater mortality. Moreover, medication nonadherence is frequent among older adults because of low self-efficacy or a lack of confidence in the physician's knowledge (Chia et al., 2006). A study by Jerry H. Gurwitz and others (2003) showed that adverse drug events are common and often preventable among older persons in the ambulatory clinical setting. Prevention strategies should target the prescribing and monitoring stages of pharmaceutical care. Interventions focused on improving patient adherence with prescribed regimens and monitoring of prescribed medications may be beneficial. Such results indicate that personal and cultural beliefs are important considerations. Health practitioners hold cognitive representations of illness and the patient prototypes. Thus, practitioner stereotypes about their patients may influence the diagnosis of symptoms as well as the quality of care provided to the patient (Mandy, Lucas, and Hodgson, 2007).A study by Hamilton and Janata (1997) investigated abnormal illness behavior (that is, the overreporting or exaggerating of physical symptoms, preoccupation with illness, medical tests, and so forth), and they proposed that people with low self-esteem or identity problems engage in these behaviors in an effort to construct a positive sense of self. A more recent article by Miczo (2004) argues that sick-role behavior may be better conceptualized as a set of illness attitudes and care-seeking behaviors. He found that attitudinal factors (release, consideration, burden, and deviance) were moderate predictors of care-seeking intentions, as were stressors and social support for the sick role. Taking the study of sick-role behavior further, Frederick Anyan (2012) researched the differences between sick-role behavior in men and women. The findings from the study indicated that men's conceptualization of illness involved the exhaustion of internal bodily organs and the absence of strength—requiring assistance to function in daily activities. The findings also indicated that women's conceptualization of illness involved mainly the impairment of physiological functioning and the feeling of weakness or nausea.

Nonetheless, typically self-esteem is associated with lower levels of stress indicators, such as HPA axis activity (Seeman et al., 1995), which may be the root by which self-esteem affects illness. In addition, people with stronger self-related resources have better health habits, being somewhat less likely to smoke or use alcohol to excess, for example

Explain the nature and consequences of delay behavior.

Living with one or more of potentially serious health problems without seeking care, sometimes for months, is called delay behavior. Patient may normalize symptoms of heart attack for example as gastric distress or muscle pain. Delay is defined as time between when a person recognizes a symptom and when the person obtains treatment. Appraisal delay - time it takes individual to decide that symptom is serious. Illness delay - time between recognition of a symptom implying illness and the decision to seek treatment. Behavioral delay - time between deciding to seek treatment and actually doing so. Medical delay - time that elapses between person calling for appointment and his or her receiving appropriate medical treatment. Runny nose or sore throat can clear up on own - but in the case of debilitating symptoms, one should not delay. Some people have insurance or financial reasons to delay tx, or those with no regular contact with primary care. Some are phobic about medical services. Doctors can also cause delays by misdiagnosis, or honest mistakes.

Describe the various kinds of CAM therapies available and describe complementary and alternative medicine.

Moreover, a protocol or regimen's success and adherence to interventions are strengthened by an integrated approach between clients, practitioners, and wellness providers. Sometimes individuals who use CAM do not disclose this information to their other wellness providers, like medical doctors. The health psychology field encourages open communication, as do those who recognize the value of an integrated approach to wellness and thriving. Students are encouraged to explore the medical and wellness services available in their community. Doctors, chiropractors, nutritionists, trainers, spiritual leaders, healers, acupuncturists, therapists, counselors, hospital support groups, and fitness centers are examples of services that can support an individual's ability to sustain health and wellness strategies, promote holistic thriving, and support an integrated model of service.

Nearly two-thirds of adults in the United States use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), in addition to or instead of traditional medicine (Barnes, Powell-Griner, McFann, & Nahin, 2004; Neiberg et al., 2011). Most commonly, those who use more than one CAM therapy combine herbal or dietary supplements with prayer or meditation (Neiberg et al., 2011). Depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, severe headaches, and stomach and intestinal disorders also prompt the use of CAM therapies, particularly when these conditions have not been successfully treated through traditional medicine (Frass et al., 2012).

Psychosocial Resources

OPTIMISM: Exactly how might optimism exert a positive impact on symptom expression, psychological adjustment, and health outcomes? Optimists have better physiological stress profiles on indicators such as cortisol, blood pressure, and inflammation (Endrighi, Hamer, & Steptoe, 2011; Jobin, Wrosch, & Scheier, 2014; Roy et al., 2010; Segerstrom, 2006b; Segerstrom & Sephton, 2010). Optimism also promotes active and persistent coping efforts, which improves long-term prospects for psychological and physical health (Segerstrom, Castañeda, & Spencer, 2003). Optimism fosters a sense of personal control, which has beneficial effects on physical functioning (Ruthig & Chipperfield, 2007). Optimists use problem-focused coping, seek social support from others, and emphasize the positive aspects of stressful situations (Scheier, Weintraub, & Carver, 1986). As noted in Chapter 1, meta-analysis is a particularly strong form of evidence because it includes many studies. A meta-analysis of 83 studies concerning the relation of optimism to physical health found effects not only on a broad array of health outcomes, but also on the physiological indicators that can predict them (Rasmussen, Scheier, & Greenhouse, 2009).

Describe the psychological and social consequences of chronic pain.

Pain serves an important purpose by alerting you to injuries such as a sprained ankle or burned hand. Chronic pain, however, is often more complex. People often think of pain as a purely physical sensation. However, pain has biological, psychological and emotional factors. Furthermore, chronic pain can cause feelings such as anger, hopelessness, sadness and anxiety. To treat pain effectively, you must address the physical, emotional and psychological aspects. Medical treatments, including medication, surgery, rehabilitation and physical therapy, may be helpful for treating chronic pain. Psychological treatments are also an important part of pain management. Understanding and managing the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that accompany the discomfort can help you cope more effectively with your pain—and can actually reduce the intensity of your pain.For patients dealing with chronic pain, treatment plans are designed for that particular patient. The plan often involves teaching relaxation techniques, changing old beliefs about pain, building new coping skills and addressing any anxiety or depression that may accompany your pain. One way to do this is by helping you learn to challenge any unhelpful thoughts you have about pain. A psychologist can help you develop new ways to think about problems and to find solutions. In some cases, distracting yourself from pain is helpful. In other cases, a psychologist can help you develop new ways to think about your pain. Studies have found that some psychotherapy can be as effective as surgery for relieving chronic pain because psychological treatments for pain can alter how your brain processes pain sensations.Having a painful condition is stressful. Unfortunately, stress can contribute to a range of health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, depression and anxiety. In addition, stress can trigger muscle tension or muscle spasms that may increase pain. Managing your emotions can directly affect the intensity of your pain. Psychologists can help you manage the stresses in your life related to your chronic pain. Psychologists can help you learn relaxation techniques, such as meditation or breathing exercises to keep stress levels under control. Some psychologists and other health care providers use an approach called biofeedback, which teaches you how to control certain body functions. In biofeedback, sensors attached to your skin measure your stress response by tracking processes like heart rate, blood pressure and even brain waves. As you learn strategies to relax your muscles and your mind, you can watch on a computer screen as your body's stress response decreases. In this way, you can determine which relaxation strategies are most effective, and practice using them to control your body's response to tension.

Positivity & Illness

Positive emotional functioning promotes better mental and physical health (Cohen & Pressman, 2006; Wiest, Schüz, Webster, & Wurm, 2011) and a longer life (Xu & Roberts, 2010). Page 140Positive emotional states have been tied to lower levels of stress indicators such as cortisol and better immune responses to challenges such as exposure to a flu virus (Low, Matthews, & Hall, 2013; Steptoe, Demakakos, de Oliveira, & Wardle, 2012). When people are feeling positive, they also invest time and effort to overcome obstacles in pursuit of their goals (Haase, Poulin, & Heckhausen, 2012), which may accordingly affect their mood and lower their stress levels. In addition to promoting general well-being, positivity promotes several specific psychological resources that improve coping (Taylor & Broffman, 2011), to which we next turn

Preparation

Much coping is proactive; that is, people anticipate potential stressors and act in advance, either to prevent them or to reduce their impact (Aspinwall, 2011; Aspinwall & Taylor, 1997). Proactive coping requires first, the abilities to anticipate or detect potential stressors; second, coping skills for managing them; and third, self-regulatory skills, which are the ways that people control, direct, and correct their actions as they attempt to counter potential stressful events.

Describe the nature and effectiveness of interventions designed to teach providers how to communicate effectively with patients.

The nonverbal behavior exchanged between patients and their providers may be a revealing source of information about interpersonal expectations and attitudes. A recent study examined the characteristics of physicians that lead to positive patient outcomes (Clark et al., 2007). Some of these characteristics were listening, inquiring about at-home management, nonverbal attention, interactive conversation, tailoring short-term goals, and long-term therapeutic planning. Conversely, patients often complain about being treated in a patronizing or dehumanizing fashion by medical providers. Using "baby talk" (that is, short, simplistic sentences) is perceived differently. When individuals perceived "baby talk" more positively, they reported higher self-esteem, but when elderly individuals associated "baby talk" with perceptions of superiority, they reported lower self-esteem (O'Connor & Rigby, 1996). Physician's depersonalizing behaviors can lead to poor quality encounters, low patient satisfaction, and low adherence to medical treatment (William, Savage, & Linzer, 2006). Farrah Schwartz, Mandy Lowe, and Lynne Sinclair (2010) in their article talk about how the ability to successfully convey ideas to the individual with differing roles, capabilities, and priorities is identified as a facilitator to the efficiency of overall healthcare.

Describe the different structures and functions of the hospital setting.

Until a few decades ago, majority of Americans received health care from private physicians whom paid directly or on visit-by-visit basis, private fee-for-service care. Now, HMO (Health maintenance organization). Pay $ to employer or employee pays monthly rate, then employee uses services at no additional or greatly reduced cost. Called managed care. PPO - preferred-provider organization, affiliated practitioners agree to charge pre-established rates for services, enrolees must choose from practitioners in plan. Communication between doctors and patients can go awry. HMO's are pressured to see as many patients as possible, undermining good care. In PPO's, docs may care more about getting most referrals than being good doctor. Medical office not good for good communication - average time is 12-15 minutes tops. Inattentiveness, use of jargon or baby talk, nonperson treatment, and stereotypes of patients all by docs.
