In fact, most women tend to eat more after a work out on average than their male counterparts. Along with increasing the client's health, a regular exercise regiment may have a positive affect on the other symptoms of depression she has been exhibiting. Exercising within a social situation can also have the potential to open up social situations and keep the mind focused, both of which can also have a favorable outcome in terms of stimulating the client's appetite. In fact, an exercise routine would in deep perk up not only the body, but also the mind, "stay socially active and mentally alert. Both tend to increase appetite," (Clemen-Stone et al.:658). This is further evidence which would prove regular exercise as the best natural method for intervention which would provide the most favorable results.
The duration of that exercise is also an important key to the desired results of an increase in appetite.
Due to the nature of the client's diagnosis, a longer duration is more efficient in providing for the success of the intervention designated in getting the client to eat more often and larger amounts. Depression is a long afflicting disease, "The expression 'clinical depression' describes a group of illnesses that are characterized by an excessive or long-term depressed mood that affects a person's life," (MFI Fellowship 2008:1). Therefore, the regiment for exercise must have a lengthy duration in order to not fail at some future point in the client's fight with depression. The patient's recent weight loss was dramatic, over 15 pounds within a month's span. In order to prevent a relapse of this situation from occurring again, it will prove necessary to keep up this regiment as long as possible. With this, recovery for the depression can begin; which in and of itself provides further relief from the pains of a lack of eating, "Similarly, recovery from depression is often followed by improved appetite, greater intake and potential increase in weight," (Theleritis et al. 2006:1). These are the solid justifications of the exercise regiment as a method to help curb the lack of appetite.
Hypothesis
With this regiment implementation, it is hypothesized that the client's appetite will increase. With this increase will come more food eaten, therefore helping provide the strength and nutrients she needs to fight the rest of the symptoms caused by her depression. With a regiment of a medium to high intensity exercise three nights a week her appetite has a high chance of increasing. If this hypothesis proves successful, the client has a better chance at recovering from her depression. It may also provide her body the strength to turn toward more drastic pharmacological methods to help ease the other symptoms cause by her depression.
Variables and Objectives of the Intervention
The independent variable (x) proves to be the frequency of the exercise, which is the actual intervention itself. This is to be measured through number of meals eaten daily, as recorded in a log by the client. Our research will compare the independent variable of the exercise implementation to the dependent variable (y) of the change in her appetite. The frequency of meals is to be recorded by the client herself. They represent the desired behavior which is to be changed in order to aid the client on her journey to fight depression while at the same time remaining healthy. Our main objective in this intervention is then to increase the patient's appetite through exercising more.
Instruments and Intervention Strategies
Due to the fact that there is no way for the client to eat every meal within a supervised context, the only way to record such data in a real-time application is through utilizing a log to record the frequency of her meals. And so, this research did ask the client to compile a log of how many times a day she ate, and around what time those meals were. This data can be entered into the log as simply with the date and time of the meal. At the end of each week, the log was collected from the client and analyzed accordingly with her scheduled exercise regiments each week. It can then be transferred quite easily into numerical data which can be put through statistical testing to analyze the viability of the hypothesis.
In order to test our hypothesis as well as seek out the future...
Client Autonomy in Community Health & Nurse Safety in Community Practice Nurses involved in community nursing often face ethical and practical dilemmas, particularly with regard to the issue of patient autonomy. Community practice differs for nursing in more formal settings in that there are many complex variables that can intervene in nursing care. they are made more complex because of the influence of the setting (isolation from nursing colleagues, role ambiguity, the
But did she mean well sometimes? Or is she always so rude towards you? Analysis: This example illustrates a long process in a short amount of space, but it helps to point out some aspects of Roger's theory. According to Rogers, such dialogue can be observed with nearly every client as generalizations are broken down to acute experiences (Rogers, 1951). Such breakthroughs in the origins of the problem rely on
Client Centered Therapy Person-centered therapists have successfully worked with numerous clients, having problems of biogenic, socio-genic and psychogenic origins. The link common to these is the necessity for understanding clients' correlation with the self-destructive attitude, ailment, or issue; working in collaboration with clients in growth and self-healing; and trusting that clients possess resources for confronting the challenges faced. Despite client-centered treatment being stereotyped as only applicable to "moderate" cases, many client-centered
client is a four-year-old, Caucasian female, currently in kindergarten. She is living with her father, and great-grandfather, and next door to her father's parents. The client is currently living with her father and great-grandfather due to her parents separating/divorcing. Client was asked by the father to receive counseling due to parent's separation/divorce. In an article I read by Bryner, he wrote about a study done by Wallerstein and Blakeslee, whom
client, whose name is Kate and is the main character in the 2013 film Smashed, displays compulsive behavior and a marked addiction towards alcohol and the classic symptoms of alcoholism in the scene in which she parks her car before going to teach elementary school. This scene takes place early one in the film, and indicates the sort of behavior that will characterize Kate's descent into alcoholism. Despite the
client of an MRO, or the in-house marketing research manager, generally has a budget available to finance a variety of studies and he or she will usually have to determine whether it is worth conducting a particular survey or study. This is frequently a subjective decision based on their previous experience of commissioning and conducting research (Swain and Jones, 2002). The choice made usually depends on the circumstances of
