Basic Psychosocial Assessment: Fill & Download for Free

I will explain to you a basic Nursing Diagnostic. When observing a patient for getting well, you do what is known as a psychosocial assessment. Basically you assess the person for their self care and attention to others around them. This stems from the fact that a proper functioning human being seeks happiness and function in caring for himself and for others. Any other condition will fail.Do you see any point in a Universal Base Income addresses the need and basic human right to be useful to himself and to others? I don’t! in fact in its very root it denies the person this right. As such it is doomed to failure. This is why socialism and communism always fail. They do not address this most basic human need.

TMJD/TMD isn’t one specific diagnosis, but a symptom description for many.The psychosocial component ring, grinding of teeth (especially at night), clenching, and “lateral chewing” seems to be the most common cause in the US, while in some European countries there’s a prevalence of purely physicological/somatic causes, from two genetic/degenerative diseases to a group of degenerative diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.Without having the numbers for threatment choices in front of me, I’d presume (if your assessment is correct), that Spanish physicians aren’t confronted with the psychosocial group as much, and therefore aim to alleviate symptoms that are attributable to purely to the somatic/physiological ring, while US physicians have ran into sufficient amounts of stress/psychological/psychosocial causes to attempt CBT before taking drastic surgical steps.This seems to be supported by lecture, US based publications (see: Pathophysiology of TMD pain – basic mechanisms and their implications for pharmacotherapy) mention up to 40% in male population and up to 80% in women as being caused by psychoscial stressors or bruxism (although the latter is being contentiously debated), while European publications (see: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1079210411002733) focuses much more on disc displacement and arthritic causes, and doesn’t note as much a gender differentiator.

I’m literally “old school”, as my social work education was in the 1970’s. The main question(s) we were taught to ask were meant to identify the “presenting problem” — What is the issue(s) that has brought these person to seek help? People in need often have many concerns and might reel off a litany of problems that concern them. The goal for the social worker is to help the client identify the basic issues and problems that underlie much of their individual concerns. It takes time and experience for many of us helpers-in-training to get good at doing this. The natural tendency of people is to get side-tracked in the enumeration of trivial things. There are so many that it swamps our mind. A skilled social worker or counselor can help us to put aside the clutter and look at the core issues. At least that is how it has been for me — more as a client than as a worker. I am not immune to bombarding myself with small annoyances until I feel overwhelmed. As a worker, I am a better problem solver than a therapist. I was good at helping people to address their day-to-day concrete problems, like how to establish and maintain income, or obtaining placement for a troubled family member that cannot be managed in the home — that was my job. But the inner turmoil that did not seem to have a concrete solution? I preferred to refer such people to workers skilled in helping people manage difficult emotions. This was the reason why I sometimes sought professional help. I used to half-joke that I wasn’t “wrapped tight enough” to be a good therapist. I am too much of a worrier and castrophizer to help anyone “live their best life”.All the other questions, such as developing a “psychosocial assessment” and identifying goals, were secondary to answering, “What is this person’s problem?”
