Cross Cultural Heterogeneity And Popular Support

Tom’s positive life and well-being

Toms lives a positive life whereby he lives in line with what holds the greatest value in life. This enhances the pursuit of happiness whereby the result will be happiness and positivity in the emotional and psychological state. The good life Tom has been subjected to i.e. the social life and the active participation in the activities of the local bowling and golf club empowers positivity in life thus positivity in his psychological setup and emotions. His well-being is catered for due to the caring he receives from the support of home members and the community care workers.

Tom’s self-esteem and confidence are promoted by the positivity in his daily endeavors. The following are the actions that lead to enhanced self-esteem and confidence. The support he receives at home and the care and love of the community workers. The participation in the social life by participating in the games. The scooter which he uses to go to the RSL of Australia where the old who were in the defense forces are fully supported.

.The network networks are the local integrated support network due to the kind treatment from his wife. The social and practical network support where he participates in the games and in the social life and the love from the community care.

Considering the situation with Margaret, since she is not familiar with the current residence and she is used to getting lost, the losing her up has diverse impacts on her social, cultural and spiritual needs. She will be emotionally disturbed due to the inability to participate in the social life. This will affect her psychology and will feel abandoned. Her social life will be adversely be affected. Margaret will also lose the spiritual nature in herself since she won’t be attending church and listen to the spiritual readings anymore for the fear of getting lost (Bauld et al., 2018).

I would suggest for the hiring of more community care personnel responsible for aiding Margaret in her movements in the residence and to the church. Another key to aiding Margaret is offering companionship to her. I. This will help in reducing the loneliness in her and offer hopes for her spiritual and emotional needs. I would also set aside time on every Sunday to ensure that she goes to the church under my escort as I guide her (Roberts & Chapman, 2017). . Other ways of linking her to the church include; arranging for church fellowships with the church management so that fellowships can be conducted at her current residence.

Margaret’s social and spiritual needs

A physiotherapist takes care of Ajay and assists him in doing exercises. Ajay catches up, he is emotionally positive and sees a betterment in his psychological state. The frequent visits by his children and grandchildren are an inspiration to him as he does not think of being abandoned. This makes him emotionally and psychologically positive.

Actions in the scenario that promote and support self-esteem and confidence entail the acts which are received from third parties to Ajay thus positive in life. The ability to walk again is vital in building self-esteem and supporting him emotionally in his daily endeavors (King & Gear, 2013)… The care received from his wife is also key to promoting and supporting self-esteem and confidence. The visits by his children and grandchildren are crucial in enabling positivity both emotionally and psychologically.

The support networks in the scenario are such as the local integrated support network whereby it entails the close bonds with his family i.e., children, grandchildren, and wife. Social and practical support network whereby there is effective companionship by his wife, children, and grandchildren (Macnicol, 2015). Professional intervention by the physiotherapist who trains and exercises him enabling the walking again.

Support organizations which can help Jeremiah in his lung disease condition include the Seniors Support Services, Home and Community Care Services, The Aboriginal community elders service Inc. (ACES) and the Aged and Community Services Australia.

The kind of support that the organizations can be of help to Jeremiah by offering community care such as medication and enabling the participation in social life. The Seniors Support Services takes care of all the elderly with health complications. The Aboriginal community elders Inc. is key in ensuring health and safety of the Aboriginal men and women who are elderly by provision of basic needs, helping out and companionship.

Jeremiah’s wife needs support in order to handle the always angry husband who has effects on this emotional and psychological state. The cultural issue in the scenario entails the social attitude of Jeremiah whereby he is angry at his diagnosis. In the scenario, the aboriginal people have various organizations to take care of old people hence would take the responsibility of taking care of Jeremiah such as The Aboriginal community elders Inc.

The documents I need here are the healthcare power of attorney and the advance health care directive. The purpose of this is to enable me to be guided in whatever action of all situations pertaining the elderly.

Actions to support Margaret

Once I finish the documentation will be able to assess needs and record the elderly woman’s information to assist in the planning and evaluation of the necessary services. The documentation also enables us to explain in what we did something and also the providence of information to the clients on our services and their respective rights. The policies to be considered in the situation is that the client should always be given the first priority at all costs (Carter, 2016).

In the report, I will ensure the confidentiality of the elder woman by not disclosing her privacy issues, I will also ensure her privacy rights accorded fully. Thus in the document, I will include the clients’ details and medical condition, the injuries sustained as a result of the fall and her financial status. I will keep the report up to date by facilitating a duplicate copy, ensuring accurate and precise information and maintenance of frequency.

The impact of this in Beverley’s marriage relationship is that it may divert away Beverley’s attention from her husband, Beverley feels lonely but in the company of Bobby she will be positively enlightened psychologically. The other impacts which might result is that when Beverley’s husband comes back to his senses, he will not like the relationship with Bobby. Beverley might also move out with Bobby because she has already settled with him (Jaeger, 2016).

Concerning her rights in the scenario, Beverley is in her own rights to be in the relationship with Bobby. However, this will be within her rights if she maintains a positive relationship with Bobby whereby keeping it a social relationship to build her psychologically. It is appropriate for Beverley to be in a relationship where she attains her personal goals in emotional and psychological positivity. (Goldzweig et al, 2017)

The network support from the scenario includes the social integrated support whereby Shirley is visited by her nieces who bring her groceries, the husbands to her nieces also visit her to help in gardening. She is also taken out to the beach for fish and chips. This gives her morale and positivity emotionally and psychologically (Greve  & Staudinger, 2015). Social and practical support is also key in the scenario as Shirley is visited by members of the church who come over for tea and bring lunch for both Shirley and her pet which she refers to her best friend

Shirley’s preference on the service plan would be effective if she is catered for with everything while still in her home as she hopes to continue living in her home by her own. She would prefer staying at home while being included in the service plan.

Ajay’s emotional and psychological positivity

On special needs, Shirley has special needs due to her inability to walk hence cannot do all the household chores by herself because of arthritis that has affected her knees.

In order to maintain dignity when visitors come, I will ensure that the food cooked is clean and tasty, I will let her choose her own clothing of choice, I will dignify her by involving her in the making of decisions regarding her case and will respect her personal space. On noticing that her pets bowl is dried, I would pick it up and vividly wash it. After that bowl and prepare food for the cat and the pet is a companion and friend to Shirley (Watkinson, 2014). This gives her positivity in life. Lastly, in order to reduce the chances of Shirley being injured by the garden magazines spreading to the floor, I would advise her not to go close to the area as I work on the garden magazines trimming them to a normal state (Bulmer, 2015). .

There is a need to modify the bench in that it is lowered to a level where June can prepare for meals while seated. This will be an advantage to her as she won’t tire easily of feel dizzy as initially. June troubled in reaching the cupboard thus there is a need for her to change the environment in order to reach the cupboard, she should replace the high cupboard with a universal kitchen design which offers a stepping side to enable short people reach the top and can renovate the kitchen by removing the upper cabinets and replace them with windows and use the kitchen stool (Poo & Conrad, 2016).

Hazards involve her being resistant to staying with anyone. This is dangerous as something might happen to her yet she needs assistance. While standing at the bench during meal preparation activity, she can slide and get hurt due to her old age. (Nyberg et al, 2015) However, these can be solved by talking to her to allow the support to spend most of the time with her helping her with chores and also lowering the bench level in that she can prepare meals while sitting. In order to maximize safety and comfort, the care support groups should be consulted.

Maria’s hips being broken makes her movement difficult, this causes depressions in her thus negatively affect her emotional and psychological state. Her preference to stay in bed rather than walking and doing the necessary exercises makes the body too weak hence won’t respond to recovery properly (Eaves, 2016). However, this can be rectified by encouraging her to walk and do more exercises. In order to maintain a healthier and safety lifestyle, I would plan for regular exercises to Maria in rode for her to be used to walking again and recover. I would prepare meals of her choice so as to maintain her dignity.

Support networks in the scenario

The change in Maria would be reported to the care support groups by writing a progress update report to the management.

Yes, there are incidences of elder abuse. There is the presence of physical abuse due to the bruises on the old woman and psychological abuse as the old man in scene b is psychologically disturbed by her arrogant daughter (Becker, Murphy & Spenkuch, 2016). Actions to be taken here is to talk to both parties about an amicable solution. Action not to be taken is to seclude the elderly from their relatives as this might lead to depression thus negatively affect the elderly emotionally and psychologically.
