This discussion will examine mental health issue in the older adult population and what it looks like in a group therapy setting as observed during my clinical experiences as well as any issues, resistances, challenges and therapeutic techniques implemented by the group facilitator. The group session that I observed was a group of elderly clients whose ages ranges from 60-70 year. The group consists of total of 10 members and their primary diagnosis is major depressive disorder. The group session met three times a week. Each session lasted approximately 60 minutes. This therapeutic group was formulated prior to me beginning my practicum experience. The initial stage of formation has already been adopted by the members. Based on my observation, the group members are in the norming stage due to the development of shared values, goals and support between the group members (Priestley, 2015)

Group Challenges

The group members were respectful of each other. However, there were times when the group members may interrupt other members while they are speaking about a specific topic, and this is when the therapist intervenes and get the clients back to track. Another issue noted is they are organic deficits that exist among some members of the group members, this include advancing age of the clients, occasionally, noted change of mental function is decreased by either medical or physical issues but not psychiatric illness (Enslion & Taylor, 2013). This issue may sometimes cause certain topic and concepts to be further discussed in order to receive appropriate knowledge and feedback. 

Therapeutic Techniques

The therapist used cognitive Behavioral therapy for the group. CBT is considered an efficacious treatment for depression. Clients benefit from CBT by learning strategies which help identify negative thought patterns and enable them to deal more effectively with their depression (Wheeler, 2014).

Case study analysis/pathophysiology

Patient is a 24-year-old female administrative assistant who comes to the emergency department with a chief complaint of severe right-sided headache. She states that this is the sixth time in the last 2 months she has had this headache. She says the headaches last 2–3 days and have impacted her ability to concentrate at work. She complains of nausea and has vomited three times in the last 3 hours. She states, “the light hurts my eyes.” She rates her pain as a 10/10 at this time. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen ease her symptoms somewhat but do not totally relieve them. No other current complaints.

In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:

  • Both the neurological and musculoskeletal pathophysiologic processes that would account for the patient presenting these symptoms.
  • Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
  • How these processes interact to affect the patient.

Discussion: Developing a Culture of Evidence-Based Practice

As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.

In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP.
    • This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.

By Day 3 of Week 10

Post at least two dissemination strategies you would be most inclined to use and explain why. Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why. Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies you are most inclined to use. Be specific and provide examples. Explain how you might overcome the barriers you identified.
