Welfare and Society (Health and Society).

Name: Adedayo Olusola Course: ANHAS Group: C: Subject: Welfare and Society (Health and Society) Social class is grouping of people together and according them status within the society according to the groups they belong to, is as old as society itself. To Karl Marx (1883), social class is determined by the ownership (or non-ownership) of the "means of economic production" - i.e. those groups who own factories, farms, coal mines, raw materials called 'the bourgeoisie'. But Max Weber (1864) opposed to Marxist theory argued that social class is determined by the skills and qualifications which people possess when competing for work in the job market, which determines the social prestige, life-style and life-chances. This view of Weber's has been the generally accepted by the sociologists, and occupation has become a widely used definition of class. Therefore, social class is regarded as a summary variable which tells us about attitudes and values, standards of living and levels of education. Sociological research has shown that social class is an important determinant of life chances in terms of education, health and so on. In Britain, the Registrar General's scale of 1911 (the government-devised scale) divides the population into six socially graded hierarchy of occupations of the head of the household. This official grouping has since being use and recognised by the

The aim of this essay is to investigate telephone befriending as a service from the point of view of the current Health and Social Care Policy and to explore how beneficial the service is in alleviating the feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

Telephone befriending service for older people Introduction The percentage of older people in the UK has increased in recent years and social isolation in older people has become a soaring public health issue. Evidence indicates that social isolation and loneliness can have a major effect on the health and wellbeing of people of all ages, especially older people. The aim of this essay is to investigate telephone befriending as a service from the point of view of the current Health and Social Care Policy and to explore how beneficial the service is in alleviating the feelings of loneliness and social isolation. To determine the effectiveness of telephone befriending, the following topics were studied in detail: the definition of vulnerability; what makes older people vulnerable; telephone befriending service to combat loneliness; social policy and law on the service and its effectiveness; and the role of the nurse in promoting and accessing this service. Electronic searches were run through databases like Medline, EBSCOhost, PsychInfo, CINAHL, Academic Search Elite and the Cochrane Library, looking at these five categories: the term "vulnerability"; population/target group; law/health promotion topic; effectiveness/ineffectiveness of telephone befriending service; and the role of the nurse in promoting the service. Additional literature was examined online and manually.

Action Researching Health Aspirations amonst New Zealand Maori

Final Report Introduction Ngati He and Ngai Te Ahi are two hapu in Tauranga Moana. Together they have formed Ngati He, Ngai Te Ahi Hauora (the Hauora), a kaupapa Maori health organisation to drive improvement in the health and wellness of their whanau. The Hauora has been delivering services to their community for almost a decade and this time has been a time of learning for the trustees, staff and community. The face of the health sector is changing at both local and national levels, the current set of reforms began in 2001 and these have led to increased focus on locally responsive and led services. As a result, the Hauora trustees have started to consider how their priorities are set and how non-Maori have influenced their decisions regarding service provision. Western Bay of Plenty Primary Health Organisation (WBOPPHO) recently approached the Hauora along with other kaupapa Maori providers in the area requesting that they conduct a needs assessment of their constituent hapu. The proposed needs assessment was intended to align with previous work conducted by the Bay of Plenty District Health Board (BOPDHB) and the WBOPPHO. However, the Hauora identified that the illness focused indicators of health utilized by these agencies were at odds with the wellness focused, kaupapa Maori approach espoused by their own people. The Hauora is developing their own approach

Pulmonary tuberculosis. My objectives was to learn more about mycobacterium tuberculosis, and overview on pulmonary tuberculosis

Amira saidin – manchestersem3 Introduction (TB thesis sem 3) Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the microorganism Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It can affect several organs of the human body, including the brain, the kidneys and the bones; but most commonly it affects the lungs (Pulmonary Tuberculosis). The first stage of the infection usually lasts for several months. During this period, the body's natural defenses (immune system) resist the disease, and most or all of the bacteria are walled in by a fibrous capsule that develops around the area. Before the initial attack is over, a few bacteria may escape into the bloodstream and be carried elsewhere in the body, where they are again walled in. In many cases, the disease never develops beyond this stage - and is referred to as TB infection. If the immune system fails to stop the infection and it is left untreated, the disease progresses to the second stage, active disease. There, the germ multiplies rapidly and destroys the tissues of the lungs (or the other affected organ). In some cases, the disease, although stoped at first, flares up after a latent period. Sometimes, the latent period is many years, and the bacteria become active when the opportunity presents itself, especially when immunity is low. The second stage of the disease is manifested by destruction or "consumption" of the tissues
