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.
, 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).
